bunny hopping

Leaping like rabbits

Bunny hopping is a technique of jumping repeatedly in quick succession, keeping momentum while airborne.

In video games, players bunny hop to move faster or dodge attacks, exploiting game physics: He bunny hopped across the map in seconds.

Cyclists bunny hop to lift both wheels over obstacles without dismounting.

The term evokes a rabbit's bounding gait.
