This month, I learned how to bunnyhop a mountain bike 2ft (61cm). I took me a while but I got it down. The trick is timing and getting the front wheel REAL high.

He's cracked the code of being famous. In William Osman's latest video he said "relatability brings success, and success kills relatability." By doing new things all the time he's not out of reach what normal people can do. It helps him stay relatable while being successful.

[@wynchesster]

that was so good, congrats. as a mountain biker myself, I am just coming off of an 8-year hiatus (had 2 kids in that time) and I am just loving it, but ya my skills have definitely been showing some rust. I can still bunny hop up curbs and stuff, upto about 20cm, but my timing really needs work. I think you've inspired me to actually spend some time practicing this skill again instead of just going out and riding. I use clipless pedals when I mountain bike, so I find that also helps a bit with the bunny-hop. Being actually attached to the pedals really helps getting the bike off the ground. But I think you've also inspired me to get a decent pair of shin guards....just in case :)

[@heathnortonflag]

Clipless pedals can build bad habits with bunny hopping. They help you pick the bike off the ground, but limit how high you can go. Most people (and this video) use the American bunny hop, where the front tire comes off first and then you bring up the rear instead of just picking up the bike with your pedals. If you master the American bunny hop, it doesn't matter whether you use flats or clipless pedals.

[@SuperDrummerJay]

Glad to see Mike is back! Your determination, and resulting enthusiasm is infectious in the best possible way. Kim is the best #1 fan that you could ask for, too. I'm sure having that support means a lot.

[@tobi-shreds6595]

Love it that you are into Mountainbikeing, I am doing it for 2 and a half years now and it ist the most rewarding thing ever.

I have been struggling for nine or ten days now, but you gave me confidence and motivation that I will get it done. Keep shredding🔥

[@Leo99929]

Please consider wearing a full face helmet. They offer vastly more protection with little to no down side. It's said that retrospect is 20/20, so please have mine: I lost a tooth as a kid while wearing a bike helmet. I've worn a full face helmet ever since, even on a gentle ride to the pub. My mate is a skilled and avid cyclist who habitually took the piss that I was dressed for downhill/motorcycling. A year or two ago he came off his bike on a round about and smashed his teeth in while wearing a standard bike helmet. He doesn't take the piss any more, and sadly his teeth will never grow back. There is no undoing the damage that's been done. Our teeth will never be the same. Please consider wearing a full face helmet.

[@anthonyspeakman9274]

The helmet he’s wearing has a removable chin bar so he likely does wear one when needed, full cuts also nice to protect side of head because you typically turn your head to the side in a crash

[@Leo99929]

@@hbeau1900 Ultimately the safest option is full body armor, as you say. The consequences and likely hood of not wearing it in general is just pain, which is temporary. You'll probably walk away and heal back to normal given a little time. A full face helmet is different because teeth don't grow back. You only get one adult set. modern dentistry is amazing but it's not as good as your natural teeth. That helmet he's wearing has a removable chin guard. Sure the chin guard adds couple of hundred extra grams, why does that matter? Modern ones are vented and he's already wearing that part of the helmet, it's not as if the chin bar would add significant further insulation. And it seems unlikely that the bit that's not touching you could make you less comfortable? These are the same arguments I've heard innumerous times from my mate who's since smashed his teeth, and my own mouth before I smashed mine. This is you justifying to yourself why you believe it's reasonable to not wear a full face helmet. Ultimately this is your life and you can choose to do what ever you want with your body and it's no body else's business but yours. I regret not listening to my Dad when he told me to look after my teeth. I can't get my teeth back. But I just might be able to stop some one else from losing theirs. Imagine standing in front of a mirror at your broken smile, while holding the dentist bill. In that moment do you think you would think it was worth the inconvenience of a full face helmet?

[@jandl1jph766]

@@Leo99929 I'm not going to contradict you regarding safety - there's just no argument there. However, I don't think you quite appreciate the difference "a few hundred grams" can make in terms of being able to maintain a good position for ten to twelve hours a day, several days in a row... While that's certainly not quite a day to day thing for the vast majority of riders, it's not unusual for those of us using the bike for traveling or even long distance races. That being said, I'd always advise going for the safest helmet you can afford that's tolerable for weight and comfort. My own helmets of choice (one for TT and one for more casual riding) both are MIPS-designs and have a visor giving some face protection, but no chin guard. However, they also are very light for their construction and I can comfortably wear them for many hours with no issues. A heavier helmet (as I used to use) would have me seriously considering taking it off, at least when I don't feel the risk is very high... Which really defeats the purpose, as I found out the hard way (fortunately, I *was* wearing the helmet when I found that patch of black ice).

[@ameraldas3641]

cool, but have you ever worn a full face on a trail ride? The downside is something major, comfort. I sometimes take my helmet off on the climbs and I am still soaked in sweat and nearly overheating. wearing a full face is like breathing through a scarf, fine when its cold, unbearable when its not. Full face helmets are not that good for trail riding, they are good for enduro riding where you can take off the helmet on the climbs, hook it onto your backpack, and then put it on for the downhills. and they are the best when used for downhill riding.

[@Leo99929]

@@ameraldas3641 ​ Yes, I have worn a full face on a trail ride innumerous times. My home town has a mountain bike trail centre, and so does the place I moved to. It's a particularly hilly area and there's no lifts: You bike up and down them all. I only wear a full face. And yes it gets stupid hot in summer, but modern helmets have come a long way in the last 20 years and are now well ventilated and relatively light weight. The old ones were pretty awful for ventilation to be fair, and heavy. But I'd much rather squirt some water on my head/face or take it a little slower uphill, than lose my teeth. Speaking as a person who's tried both, teeth are unquestionably more important than transient avoidable discomfort. Have you ever smashed your teeth out? Picking up your teeth off the ground is possibly more psychologically traumatic than the pain. Then there's the blood, and the knowledge that you probably don't have the details of an emergency dentist, and even if you do, you're probably biking at the weekend or evening when they're harder to get hold of. You might have to wait days until you can get seen. I did. You are likely to have to go to school or work with broken teeth. Eat several meals with what's left of them. Then the dentistry is supremely unpleasant and you'll likely have to wait longer yet for your new teeth to be made up. Then you have to go back again. You might need a root canal or two. To say that's unpleasant is an understatement. Then it's not as if that's the last time you'll have to have it dealt with in your life. Mine has had to be redone twice in about 20 years. Which costs exorbitant amounts of money and further discomfort. They also don't quite stain the same as your natural teeth, and your gum tooth interface can look different. So it can become something you might feel self conscious about. This is what I'm saying: I've not worn helmets. I've lost teeth. I've worn full face helmets in the stinking heat up and down big hills. In my real world first hand experience of these experiences there isn't a question of whether I would wear a full face. I only own one bike helmet and it's a full face. I wear it 100% of the time I have a bike between my legs. Some people make fun of me. I pitty them, and hope they never come to agree with me due to losing their teeth like I did. One of my friends has. I feel awful for him and would rather he'd continued to make fun in ignorant bliss. Ultimately it's your body and you can do what ever you want with it. I'm just giving you the gift of hindsight without having to go through the pain. You don't have to agree with me.

Your resilience is so inspiring

I'm not sure if you have any other type of bike but the one you were doing the bunny hops on is a dirt jump bikes with one gear and one brake (the back brake) so if you found that the trails are a bit slippery steep and gnarly is because dirt jump bikes are mainly built towards hitting dirt jumps but with a Hardtail, enduro, trail, or down hill mountain they have better tires for dirt two brakes and gears. Love your videos really happy your back
