Hey Linda, thanks for commenting! Practice makes perfect essentially, but with longer travel forks a good preload will definitely help! Try focusing instead on making sure you push into the suspension enough to then take advantage of that rebound instead of the pulling motion.

From all videos that I've see about learning bunnyhop, I'm almost conviced that it is not possible to do it properly on XC bike without dropper seatpost. Am I the only one who would like to see a good tutorial made for XC riders?
@vangmountain
@vangmountain 8 ай бұрын
Depends on your definition of XC. If XC to you is super high locked seat post with a super low stem and gooseneck to put your weight as far up as possible like a racing XC setup then absolutely, you are not going to see one because such setups make it impossible to hop because your knees are prevented from bending much. The act of bunny hopping involves actually bending the knees and jumping up. If you don't have room to jump, you cannot bunny hop. So yes, you are correct you would need a dropper post. A gooseneck and a low stem will also make it very hard because the point of a gooseneck is to stretch your body forward to put weight on the front tire. If this is your definition of XC, you will unlikely never see a bunny hop tutorial. However, if XC to you is just a lighter bike with geometries for efficient climbing with a dropper post for efficiency, then yes, someone could do a tutorial on it. A bunny hop requires you to literally jump up. With no way to bend your knees to allow you to jump up, there's no way anyone's going to be able to do much of a bunny hop. Hence, a dropper post as you correctly surmised would absolutely help.

Every bunny hop video is kinda wrong on this channel. You don’t need to scoop your pedals or practice your rear wheel lifting. You just have to stand up into a meerkat position, explosively, after lifting the wrong wheel and when your handlebars somewhere near your waist just push the bars forward and THAT will lift or level your back wheel with the front one. This is the only approach that helped me to learn bunny hop basics. That’s it. Then just practice a lot and try not to be scared.

@OLI-vx1md Жыл бұрын
There are a lot of different techniques for a solid hop. The one shown in the video and the one you speak of are fine, different but neither better nor worse than the other. The technique in the video is good because it incorporates a lot of step techniques that can be implemented individually also.. If you can practice the back wheel lift then you're somewhat into the process for learning nose bonks for instance..
@OLI-vx1md
@OLI-vx1md Жыл бұрын
Plus the one displayed in the video is arguably a better technique for transfering the skill set onto steeper jumps, boostier jumps and doubles.. that really defined front up, level out, nose in.

You don't lift your back wheel with your feet if you want to do it properly. All the lifting is done by the arms. You only use your legs to gain upwards momentum. There's a reason it's possible to do no footed bunny hops, but you can't do a no handed bunny hop (or atleast you can't take your hands off the bars before you reach the apex of the jump)

Ok that makes sense. Here in the states a bunny hop is a totally different trick . Just one of those things that's different from the U.S. No matter what you call it it's still pretty cool .

I wish you'd have done this with a hardtail. I would presume, that this is mostly transferable but the pivot movement does kinda throw me off a little bit, tbh.

@@OLI-vx1md Yeah, however I tried pulling up the wheel with this movement but it doesn't move even a centimeter. I usually learn these things by imitation and when I got the exact movement down at least once I can work with that. But unfortunately almost everyone on youtube does it with a Fully where the pivot movement just throws me off. However I can still do a small bunnyhop sometimes, even with flats - just not very high or reliably. I learned it without the separate movements.

@@CaptainShiny5000 most likely you're doing the first step wrong, try doing it with a lower seat and don't be afraid to hit the rear wheel, you need the trust to get it right, once you've done it a couple times try using it on specific situations so you can practice for when you need it and not when you want to do it, that way it becomes more instinctive and it can become a usefull skill.

Truth! Even just physical capacity. I wanted to learn to hop last year but my body was too busy trying to recover from adjusting to my new active transportation lifestyle. I'm hoping that "winter miles mean summer smiles" applies to hopping this year. Winter slop means better hops? Dunno.

I'm sorry but the lift mechanism, the physics behind it, for the rearlift and for the lifting of the rear during a bunny hop are not one in the same. The idea that the bunny hop is the sum of these two motions, something this channel keeps promoting, is just wrong. When one bunny hops, the physics is totally different. If you are struggling, a big reason for it is precisely because you are trying to combine these two motions. Honestly, ignore these videos and learn from others who teach it correctly like Jeff Lenosky and Jeff Kendell-Weed. Learn from J & J and you'll soon be hopping. You can practice these two skills for months and never be able to hop. Give J & J a go and you'll be hopping in a matter of hours, albeit not too high. Regardless, the fact is you'll be bunny hopping instead of front and rear wheel lifting.
