Replying to Just got a Rocky Mountain Flow 2.0 (bike)

man, this is such a step up from my last bike (1999 Trek 4500). now I can try more shit withought worrying about braking it as much.. I got a good deal too, $800 (normally $1200) because it had been sitting in this shop all season and they marked it down. my old bike had toe straps so I never learned how to bunny hop properly and I was learning today and fucked the shit out of my shins because every once in a while I would slip off the pedals on the way down. any good way to lear how to do bunny hops decently, and more importantly, any good way for me to brake my bad habit of bulling up all at once because of the toe straps?
