You're more likely to fall if you do try the bunny hop. Instead, treat it as any other rough surface - go a little off the saddle, stay loose so the bike moves under you (this reduces the force on the wheels so they're less likely to slip sideways). It will help if you unweight each wheel as it hits the rails, just pull back as the front wheel goes up, then lean forward as the back wheel goes up. Once you're in the "bouncing over multiple tracks" stage, just ride the bike :) | |
