So, my question for you all... “Do you bunny hop barriers? Even triples?"

I am clearly on the NO side of the question. Zero bunny hopping chops.

They looked hoppable, but he carried too much speed into them.

Yeah I'll stick to dismounting for the actual barriers! Look like he was ok, but guess he decided to quit.

I'm willing to bunny hop a smaller log or railway tie they might put on the course, but I don't even question dismounting for the barriers.
