That's actually called a wheelie. Each bumps causes you to blip the throttle and raises the front wheel off the ground leaving you with the feeling of weightlessness. If you stay on the throttle during these occurences you will look cool and possibly get some ***.

if it's not the bearings then it's the OEM fork tubes locking out on you...they weren't made for bumps...LOL!

have Greg respring and revalve them for you or replace them with a nice set of inverted fork tubes...RC
