How To Bunny Hop A Bike // A 5 Step Complete Guide!

[@DailyMTBRider]

Let me know what tip helped the most! And if I missed something, let me know in a new comment so we can let others know!

[@fredo_jacob]

Daily MTB Rider great video as always. An extra tip I would give is look straight ahed, not at what your hopping over (as the start of a hop is basically a manual). this (for me) has increased the size of my hops by quite a bit. idk, maybe it will help someone else as well?

[@DailyMTBRider]

That's a great tip Fredo and I totally forgot to mention it! Thanks for sharing!

[@bydk.kerlyn.k2]

Daily MTB Rider is the Raleigh tukol 1 word the 500 dollars its same frame as your tokul 3 but different components

[@DailyMTBRider]

The only bummer with the Tokul 1 is that the fork isn't easily upgraded, besides that, it's a fine bike!

[@bydk.kerlyn.k2]

Bro what do you mean with that it isn't easy to upgrade the fork?

[@tenzinfav7891]

I recently bought mtb. Now I really wanna learn bunny hop. Feels like mountain bike is heavy in very first day hopefully I can do it

[@jackjones4152]

How’s it going so far?

[@downhillers5863]

Did you make it

[@michaelmarquez6133]

@@jackjones4152 sounds like no lol, I just bought a hardtail actually upgraded for tails ,I've been just trying to get up and down without passing out haha but soon I will start practicing

[@utharkruna1116]

Well , did you make it ?

[@alexthemtbr]

This channel is going to blow up soon! Content and charisma is on point 👌🏼

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks Alex, it means a lot bro!

[@Jacksquatch69]

Agree, can't wait for the jumping video. Been riding long time, can bunny hop but I'm sure I have been doing it wrong for years..since I cannot manual really. ( working on that :) )

[@DailyMTBRider]

You'll get there soon enough jacksquatch!

[@ethanh.8460]

It took me 2 months to learn to hop, i feel like this would have had me jumping in 2 days. Easily best tutorial on KZbin, thanks!

[@DailyMTBRider]

You are far too kind Ethan! I am glad that you're bunny hopping though! There's nothing better than jumping around!

[@sentienttoyotacamry3283]

@@DailyMTBRider i am kinder

[@makoyangelourefugio8255]

Did you use flat or clipless pedals to practice?

[@LuxxyHD]

Since I started watching you now I have been biking every day

[@DailyMTBRider]

That's so awesome to hear! And that's the goal man, go outside, ride, and get better every day!

[@joaquinexequiellaput2475]

It's easier to bunnyhop if you bind your mwheel down or up to jump

[@godzillaxred]

cs is life i see

[@卄]

lmao

[@Finu23GamerDE]

I didn't managed to even get my rear wheel up, but now I can do small bunny hops after a quarter day. Thank you for this helpful tutorial!

[@7sixpaul177]

Best bhop tutorial on youtube. PERIOD

[@jc5770]

Thanks..I'm new to this Just got my trek marlin 7 2019 Time to practice the bunny

[@techtonictech196]

J C how are you going? I have a marlin which my friend can bunny hop but I just can seem to get it!

[@ammarkhofash8000]

finally I see a video of a person riding on Hardtail bike instead of a full suspension 😍😍

[@tereebe]

One of the best bunny hop videos I've seen.

[@Bigsbeee]

One of if not THE BEST bunny hop lesson's I ever saw.

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks so much PDS! That means a ton!

[@dusanposavac4845]

So far u have the best and most detailed bunny hop tutorial, I'm gona start practicing this week or weekend,!

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks Dusan that means a lot! Good luck as you get out there to practice!

[@elidenning6276]

dude, I have trying to bunnyhop for 3 or 4 months and then I watched this video tonight and learned it in five minutes. Thanks so much!!!

[@Yohanyothan]

Yo i have watched 20 bunny hop vids online and this is number one. Other youtubers are giving 6 to 8 steps.. this is alll we need.

[@the.david.fischak]

Finally someone who's showing all these tricks on a hardtail! Kinda gives me confidence, because at first you think pumping does not work without full suspension,

[@lukaantonijevic8140]

Only one man who explain how to lift rear wheel. Well done!

[@FantasticCards]

Thanks a lot for taking the time to make a video to teach us how to bunny hop! I can’t wait to go outside and practice!

best bunny hop tutorial i have seen so far...thanks for sharing - great job!!!

[@musicismypseudonym]

Definitily one of the best bunny hop tutorials! Watched already a couple because i learned it wrong with the first videos i watched. you're pointing out the most crucial mistakes (arm pulling, arm pushing at rear wheel lift, etc.). Good job! Really glad i subbed your channel some days ago :)

[@DailyMTBRider]

Oh thanks man! I'm so happy I could help you out! let me know how the progress goes!

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

You're doing things for our sport!!! Thanks Bro!!!

[@DailyMTBRider]

[@rony_ftw]

I know how to bunny hop but the videos are so nice and enjoing that I watched it anyway, I love videos that get straight to the point instantly

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks for the kind words Miron, it means a lot!

[@imseeingdots420]

Hey man, this video is really helpful! I could never bunny hop when I was a teenager, and getting back into mountain biking 12 years later, it is the first thing I wanted to learn. I have watched many videos which haven't been much help as none of them give the one piece of crucial advice that yours did... to push the bike forward. I just watched this video yesterday, and today I bunny hopped for the first time... and the second, and the third. I did it so many times that I now have to re-adjust the cable on my rear derailleur lol. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@DailyMTBRider]

That's so awesome to hear! I'm so happy my tips have helped you out!

[@sweeball]

Bunnyhop 101. Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@davros666]

Bunny Hop like a Boss! Another great vid Josh and you're nearly 3k! Well done.

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks Dave, and it’s crazy how fast the channel is growing! Thanks for being a loyal sub!

[@trailblazer5273]

Your video about learning how to Bunny hop with a MTB is very Interesting!

[@The_RC_Dude]

This really helps, I was trying to get the front up by pulling up and the rear up just with my feet, I will say that gripper pedals make it easier Edit: I also never knew that you can chose which wheels hit the ground first, it's also cool that you show that a hard tail can do big hops too. Most of the videos use full suspension

[@JoshuaBaylin]

I'm really liking ur videos dude keep it up !!

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks Josh, that means a lot!

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Great video. You continue to take these potentially worn-out subjects and make them seem fresh, entertaining, and informative. Just ordered a new bike for my chick, I will be working on some of these techniques with her.

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks so much MTB Cincinnati, that means a lot! Can't wait to hear how your lady takes to biking!

[@mountainbikeondemand]

Daily MTB Rider she has seemed pretty eager to go riding on her old bike for the last 6 months. I just ordered her and Ibis Mojo 3, GX Eagle build so hopefully she sticks with it. Again, great video I'll show it to her and see if it clicks.

[@DailyMTBRider]

That’s a sweet bike! If she’s been stoked on riding her old one, I’m sure she’ll love it! Now if only I could get my wife riding....

Learnt in August, 1 month after I started MTBing!

[@DailyMTBRider]

That's awesome Bike Stuff! It's a great skill to learn off the bat because it's useful in so many situations!

[@ollydickinson2196]

Daily MTB Rider. Yeah, it was sort of the first skill I learned alongside wheelies and whatnot. I knew that it would be important on the trail as you earlier stated. :-)

[@DailyMTBRider]

You got it man! I wish everyone would learn those skills first!

[@ollydickinson2196]

Ayyy, thanks man!

[@ty.process]

Great video, Josh! Best tips are def the progression ie one wheel at a time and to use an obstacle. So helpful! Btw is that pump track by Civic Stadium?

[@DailyMTBRider]

Thanks Ty and you bet! I filmed my "how to jump" video there, hopefully the audio turns out with all the cars the drove by!

[@aidentayes941]

Just subbed will try this tommorow thanks for the tips!

[@jeffersontan9214]

I’m 14 thanks to this vid I can bunny hop!thankss

[@paulahner2101]

really looking forward to the next one ;D I always smash my front wheel into the ground

[@DailyMTBRider]

Are you talking about when you jump or bunny hop? Because in both cases, sounds like you need to get your hips back over the rear wheel to keep your bike from nose diving

[@paulahner2101]

Daily MTB Rider I figured it out on bunnyhops, but on jumps (small tables) my front wheel stalls. I tried to get some more rebound damping onto my rear shock which helped a little bit put I still feely front wheel diving too quickly. Maybe that's because I smash all of my weight forward to get my rear wheel lifting and don't pump into the takeoff hard enough

[@DailyMTBRider]

Sounds like your on the money with how to fix it. It's hard to do, but keep your weight back off the lip and keep your feet level to the ground as you go up.

[@paulahner2101]

Daily MTB Rider alright, cheers for your help!

[@jakov_badjo8453]

[@barkingmadman1169]

Can you talk about effect of frame size, suspension, chain stay length, wheel base, stack height, and reach? I am convinced all you folks showing how to bunny hop have a favorite bike to demonstrate on, while other bikes you own may not be as easy. While you pros can hop nearly any bike, some folks entering mtb may not have a bike well suited to LEARN on, and only practice frustration over and over again.

[@rokas3935]

All these things are just people looking for excuses. Yeah, easiest bike to bunny hop is a BMX, but you can bunnyhop every bike, the technique is the same..Every bike is suited to learn on. And when you are at this level of riding, you know what you need from a bike, you have your preferences and you know what your bike should be capable of.

Can you comment on bike geometry and how some bikes are easier to bh, mine doesn't seem conducive to get off the ground. Liked your video, very well done, cheers!

[@DailyMTBRider]

Hey Steve, I will agree that bike geometry plays into the ease of doing a bunny hop, but at the end of the day, you can bunny hop almost any bike! Seth showed this with his water filled wheels - check out his video if you haven't seen it yet!

[@bulkyhealer8239]

thanks for the instructions although i can't get my rear up

[@NEVERTOOOLD77]

Looking forward to your next video how to jump 😊....the only question I have when bunnyhopping is don't you preload your front suspension before throwing your weight back on the bike....or is that not necessary

[@DailyMTBRider]

That's a good question Darren! I've found when you come down to the saddle it preloads your fork and your body and gets you ready to jump up

[@NEVERTOOOLD77]

I still have alot to learn but seem to struggle more with getting the back wheel higher....I'd appreciate if you check out my video in Rubery and see what I may do to improve my technique because you seem to have it down 😉

[@budgetfriendlybiking207]

Back in the BMX days, bunny hopping was soooooo easy. MTB... Ok, more finesse involved. Fat bike... Did the rear tire ever leave the ground!?!? Great tutorial Josh! Is bunny hop into manual in the tutorial lineup (cause it should be!!!). 😂😂😂

[@DailyMTBRider]

Speaking of BMX, that’s what I’d need to do a bunny hop into manual tutorial! Maybe one day, if only that didn’t happen more out on the trail!

[@budgetfriendlybiking207]

Daily MTB Rider fair enough. I guess you do typically hit the big hucks! Maybe if you go XC you'll find a hop-manual a bit more useful! 😂

[@DailyMTBRider]

😂😂😂 Truth!

[@mpgt]

Hi budget friendly biking, i'm in the mountain bike scene since 10 years now, I have (and had) a lot of bike (dirt jump, street, enduro, hardtail, downhill, fatbike...) and my fatbike (Rocky Mountain Blizzard 2015) is the most easier bike to learn anything even if it is full rigid and 30 pounds. I don't know how to describe it, but these bikes are way too underrated. I made this little video if you wanna see some back wheel hop with that bike kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHXJi6CmpL-lqJI

[@greghenderson1362]

One of the GMBM riders bunny hopped a fatbike 3 feet! He cleared over 0.9 m.

[@samwheels04]

I think I need to learn to kinda wheelie first

[@ellamcchicken5666]

Step one. Have a good bike

[@joaquinexequiellaput2475]

Now i understand getting your wheel up most people say it's all about the feet...
