Heaps useful skill - even when riding in the city for popping up on curbs.

bunny hop get my vote.

I have hoped over wash outs at the bottom of a downhill more than once.

All these tricks teach balance and control that ate useful things to practice

I had a recent race in Kingston SE and there was a Drain running across the road that had to be "negotiated". At around 40km/hr. the bunny hope seemed to do the trick! God bless dura ace c50's.
