How to Bunny Hop a Mountain Bike Higher for Beginners

In this video I'm going to teach you how to bunny hop your full suspension mountain bike (or any bike) fast, high and easy in a few simple steps. This video will also improve the height of your hops so you can jump higher than before. The bunnyhop is a great beginner skill to learn when starting mountain biking as it opens more oppurtunites on the street and the trails. Bunny-hops can be used to get past trail features or commute around town. They also improve various bike control skills like your balance on your mountainbike. So, I will be going over this MTB skill step-by-step so
you can get out there and start learning to bunny hop! I hope I taught you everything you need to know in order to bunny hop, share this with your friends so you can learn together! Don't forget to like and subscribe for more MTB videos, thanks for watching!

Nice video. This is literally the only bunnyhop video I’ve watched stating that you’re “pulling towards the rear wheel” not straight up or straight back. This is a really important detail. If you do a pure “L-shape” like many other videos teach then you’re pulling straight back and it’s actually really hard to get the front wheel very high.

[@angelofio]

Glad to help!

Excellent video, totally agree with your comment Jason!

Best bunnyhop tutorial!!

[@FawadAfzalKhattak]

Just wanted appreciate the efforts you have put into creating this. Ive watched a lot of videos and the way you guys have taught is best.

[@joelschneider3941]

You have some great tips that other videos never mention. I like how some of the scenes are recorded near a hospital with the Emergency sign in the background. Is it important to practice this trick near a hospital? :)

[@aaz_m_t_b]

You are so helpful bro

[@supergreg72]

Wow you put a lot of effort in that video, it really helped me a lot 👍🏻

[@kfivemtb]

great job dude!

[@yodecaf]

Your video editing, organization and ability to be succinct is excellent. This is a 5 minute video where others take double the time. To take it to the next level, try adding more vocal variety. It sounds like your reading an essay on the audio, instead of just telling your buddy how to do it conversationally.

[@angelofio]

Thanks, working on improving the voice overs.

[@skiandbike]

Awesome 😎

[@007kape3]

How to we shift owr weight forward n do we actually jump while shifting weight to the front

[@angelofio]

You have the right idea. When you spring your weight forward, extend your legs as you would if you were jumping without a bike.

[@007kape3]

Thanks got it now

[@redbirb2869]

I’ve got a hardtail mtb so I can’t quite get the same compression on the suspension before the hop

[@steveoliv]

Question: after you preload, are you pushing your front shocks down or are you pushing yourself away so you can throw your weight back?

[@angelofio]

The preload should cause the forks to slightly compress, then you can pull while the forks are decompressing to help bring the front wheel off the ground.

[@steveoliv]

@@angelofio Thanks for the reply. Just so I'm sure I understand your comment, the preload will compress my front shocks. From there I should push myself back with my arms then jump/pull the front handle bars towards my rear wheel. Is that correct?

[@angelofio]

First part about the preload is right. But instead of pushing afterwards, shift your weight towards the rear wheel as if you are falling backwards, just in a quicker movement. After the front wheel comes off the ground is then when you propel your weight back forward to the bars and spring your legs like you are jumping. Watch the video and pay attention to the slow mo examples so you can see exactly what I’m doing with my arms, legs, and my body weight to maneuver the bike.

[@NicoCkling]

Thanksss

[@NickedYT]

Hey, how do I know if my bike is full suspension or hard tail? I have a 27.5 inch gt aggressor

[@angelofio]

Take a look in front of the seat tube/above your pedals, if there’s any type of suspension there it’s a full suspension. If not, then it’s a hard tail.

[@alimantado373]

Umm about $500. dollars difference in price 🤣😂

[@13productions58]

Is this the same for a hardtail ?

[@angelofio]

Yep

Is it ok for me to do this on a regular btt bike? I only have front suspension

[@angelofio]

Yes of course!

[@kempkaching8773]

I can’t get my rear wheel up I need help

[@lmrofficial7416]

I can't get my front wheel high anoth for wheelies

[@jamescaperton8872]

You should pull back very hard and lean back the pedal

[@jamescaperton8872]

Then pedal

[@angelofio]

Make sure your front wheel is coming up off the ground enough first. Then, spring your weight forward towards the bars in one motion from over the rear tire towards the handlebars. Make sure to extend your legs as if you were jumping off of the bike.

[@airmag8882]

what bike is it

[@marshwalker8322]

Weird question from a complete MTB noob, why does your bike make a noise when you're not pedaling?

[@angelofio]

The sound comes from the hubs on your wheels, the hub spins while the gears stay still. This is what makes that buzzing/clicking noise.
