as someone whos learning how to properly bunny hop rn not doing 2 wheels at the same time anymore, (i learned how to PROPERLY get them almost every time now today) all i did at first to get the motion was lift the front a tiny bit as if ur doing like a manny for even half a second then just hop up n suck ur feet, even the smallest amount. I know its hard for people to understand sometimes when the teacher is so good at something n forgets tips, but all this is fresh in my head (by no means am i a pro lmao) but hopefully anyone who hasnt bunny hopped yet that helped

Please keep doing this. Giving people access, especially kids, to tips that are clear and easy to understand, outside of the parks that few of us have east access to,..is in my opinion fantastic. I've been riding for well since the 80s and I find these tips refreshing and just really cool. You are doing a great thing. Be well

Thanks to your video, I finally learned how to bunny hop! I admit, it's only a 5-6 inches so far but, early days :) One little tip that I found out that I was getting wrong at first, was that I was putting all my weight on the pedals whilst trying to pull up the bars. Wrong. When you go to pull up the bars, you almost have to 'jump up' off the pedals whilst you lift the bars. That way you'll get much more height, and the bike will come up with you.

@bonusroundgamevids2 жыл бұрын
This was helpful. I'm one of those who learned the wrong way to hop with both wheels. I have been struggling to properly hop, but I never stopped to think that the motion of a bunny hop or J-hop is almost identical to go over any jump, or bump-jump for that matter. Maybe all I need to do is approach it like a bump jump, just without a bump.
@StupidMTB Жыл бұрын
I learned the same way back in the day. And now that I'm 31 and back at it, wondering why I can't get height like my friends; some months ago I learn that there's this motion! And it makes more sense now. But I'm still struggling for height and form. I found this video today. When he brought up the bump jump, it all clicked. I can't wait to go try like I'm bump jumping with no bump!

@Defender784 жыл бұрын
To get the back wheel up, u have to jump, you need to bring your knees up high. The pulling motion of your handlebars will bring the front wheel up, but if your legs don’t springing upwards immediately after, then the back wheel isn’t going anywhere. Rear end will lift up if you pull up the handlebars and jump with your legs this way the rear end becomes “weightless“ and will follow the upwards motion caused by the pulling up of the handlebars. Billy explains at 3:57 how to get the back wheel up, with feet pointing slightly down (pedals level) and he definitely shows it several times. Look at the slow-motion part where they jump over the cone and you’ll see how they bring their knees up towards their chest. I’m 42 years old and today I pulled off my first Bunnyhop.
