Angry Bunny Hopping!! it's madness

Hey folk's , i recently bought my car a couple of week's ago' it's a stick shift cobalt SS supercharged, and I've never ever driven a manual transmission vehicle before so I'm really fresh in doing so, and about a week ago i thought i had the hang of it and driving really well' but like two day's ago leaving my job i bunny hopped the car all the way home, hoped like 5 time's and i got really annoyed!! and it just seems like i can't get the hold of it again/ / i know it sounds lame but what am i doing wrong? i really want to become an expert in driving my own car and feel comfortable /' pliz assist me with help!!

in all seriousness though, probably bad launches and made his car jerk real bad.

OP try letting the clutch out slower. i was "bunny hopping" bad when i first drove stick, but now i just let the clutch out a bit slower and its smooth

I'll tell you the same things I've told every guy that ever worked for me.

Get your foot the **** off my clutch. It's not a foot rest.

probably boggin the **** out of it too, that will make it jerk and hop. Stay above 2kish when your driving, if you have to give it gas be above 2k anyway, if your flat rolling, you can be at like 16-1700

ya the lsj drives almost completely different than the lnf... 1st gear is pretty worthless, so start slow, ease the clutch out and get into 2nd kinda soon.

Watch the wheel hop,and avoid it if possible .You will Crack the tranny and oil will leak onto the clutch.
And no warranty for this happening.
To avoid the Hop let the clutch out a little slower.

1st gear in a LSJ is good for pulling tree stumps ...... not much else.
