Bunny hopping is something you do on a bicycle.
If you mean strafe-jumping which is done in quake III, here is a tutorial.
Strafe jumping is like the most important thing in trickjumping. What it 
basically is, is running, jumping, and pressing strafe all at the same time. 
The result? You go faster than you would just running.

Step by Step
1) Start running
2) Press the strafe key, left or right, and jump a nano second afterward
3) Hold Strafe in the air
4) Land and jump again immediately, still holding strafe and forward

TIP
You can alternate strafe keys to keep you going in a straighter line, 
however, its not usually necessary.

This tutorial is really short, because its a simple thing, its easy to 
master, and you will be able to do it in no time. Counterstrike strafe 
jumping is supposedly a lot harder, and it involves one of the concepts of 
circle jumping as well, so be thankful you play quake.
So how useful is it? does it reaaaaaly make a difference? Damn straight it 
does bitch, thats why everyone, EVERYONE, does it. because it seriously helps 
you move around a map, and the better you are at it, the better you will be a 
player.

I kinda miss the hours I spent trying to learn some of those jumps.  The 
one in q3dm6 was tough but I eventually made it.

bridge to rail? tough one to master. I can do it sometimes, but have to be 
real into the game to hit it consistently.

Lol! Well, we've all done that. It just sucks when it happens in front of a 
worldwide audience. (well, maybe alt.games.q3 aint all that anymore.)

Seriously, work on that strafe jump. It will help you big time when you get 
up to speed with it.

I don't think I'll forget the first time I saw that in a Q3 server.  I just 
stood there thinking "now how the hell did they do THAT one?!"  and promptly 
got meself fragged :\   The anims display different in Q3 than Q/Q2.  I 
never realized you could do this all along!  LOL!   SO, my son came over one 
night and showed me a few things, HA!!!

McG. <wondering how the hell I *ever* scored a cap in CTF now!>

all them tricks and jumps and moves are excellent and needful for toe to toe 
fighting, but ya gotta know the map and the most efficient run in for 
scoring!  :)

I figure to try them on my server using q3w2 - I can't think of another map 
with lots of room... anyway those others look really cool - plasma climb - 
like WOW.

thx again,
joe
