aw man I totally feel for you. .. I spent a whole winter fixing my Motocross bike only to break my leg on the first ride of spring. I've always been able to do this bunny hop just not very high... fingers crossed I don't send myself over the bars I'm 40 years old I don't know if I can take that stuff anymore

Thnk you, Tom! Without "water" and unnecessary chatter. Much more useful than all the videos I've watched in my native language! God bless you, man! You and the queen :)

I'm gonna review this again (and again) and practice/train until I learn this MTB skill. Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines!

One of the best bunny hop tutorial on youtube. Seen many frm famous youtubers and they just tell you how to do it and show it. Your steps 1 and 2 are much better than the rest.

Thank you very much dude! Keep sending it! :)

[@mintorb1]

Best Video on Bunny hops I've seen. I have watched about 362 Videos. Lol. Ok. . Ok. . Maybe like 11. Thank you

[@danielb.4205]

+1 for the bike setup section. Thank you for your tutorial videos I really enjoy and like them. One minor thing, maybe it will help someone: I think it is a little easier to think of lifting your rear wheel in a little different way. I got this from a Berm Peak Bunny Hop tutorial (note: this should be seen as addition to this one, not as a replacement!) As you clearly can see in 5:54 Tom lifted the back wheel already before doing any curling with his feet :) - he actually lifts even the back of his bike by using his arms - the feet might support that movement but the heavy lifting or easier imho by thinking of in a different way. Hard to explain just have a look at the berm peak video. Funny thing: at 6:25 he unconsciously makes exactly that movement.

[@sapinva]

Bunny hops are the bane of my existence on a bike. If I'm blasting down a trail at 30 mph and come up on a log unexpectedly, it just seems to work. Or maybe I've been lucky so far. But in a flat parking lot I'm lucky to get over the curb. This is a slightly different way to look at it, fingers crossed.

[@TomCardy]

Yea man when there is something to jump its always easier! Keep sending dude!

[@leexiangrong1741]

I like how u made it detailed because others will just tell u to just bring the front wheel high and put the handle bars close to ur waist

[@TasosKatsaros275]

Tom you made it look so easy, can't wait to test it on my MTB. Awesome work mate, thank you

[@sybarite5videos]

I just want to say thank you. I watched EVERY freaking bunny hop video but this is the one that final got me to do it after 3months of trying! Thank you!

I’ve watched lots of how to bunny hop but this so far has been the best as mine at the moment are very low, about to head out and get some better air time

[@JohnWick-wy4ue]

Why other tutorial vid didn't teach us to jump? Only front wheel and rear wheel they teach to lift. I tried it 1 week but i can't do the bunny hop lol ..i follow the instruction ..now i can do lift the front and rear but i still can't do the bunny hop. Thank you sir for sharing us your bunny hop skill .you are the true master💙

Bunny hop tailwhip in a flatground with that long MTB is just impressive.

[@sandy_knight]

For street and DJ you don't want to be landing on your front wheel (unless you're going for a nose wheelie/front manual or whatever it's called) but in trail riding, downhill etc it's often good to get the front wheel down first, to get grip for the inevitable turn you'll need to make on landing. In those scenarios I always aim for a flat landing (parallel to the gradient) with the option to push the front end down first if I need to. You never want commit to a front wheel landing, if your head is in front of your front axle on landing you're in trouble!!

[@TheChavcho]

Thanks! Great video! Tomorrow I'm starting on the parking lot.

[@matt-g-recovers]

Keep your arms straight when pulling up. Remember the “backward L” movement.

Thank u very mutch for this video your ameazing

[@Mr.P.Griffith]

It looks like on that bike you're lifting the front wheel up high enough and jumping straight up extending your legs as hard and fast as you can with your toes pointing down.. I think that's where I get it wrong. I'm not down low enough to spring upwards. Plus I'm pretty thin for being 6ft so I don't have the centrifugal mass to launch me and the weight of the bike up too high.

[@TomCardy]

Yeo, its all about the pop, the lower you can go the more you can spring up, keep sending it dude! :)

[@JuanEnriqueSerra]

Excellent!!

[@plebism]

I just cannot get any height when lifting the front wheel 😟do you actually pull with your arms or use your body weight when moving back?

[@TomCardy]

Both dude, pull up, lean back and push your feet into the pedals

Great basic tutorial. Will it work on MTB with front and rear derailleur? Will it break the derailleur hanger, how high maximum is it safe to bunnyhop?

[@deymos2175]

Hell, nothing will break! Unless of course you got your parts from a disposal site ;)

[@rorydean2662]

Guys who can't bunnyhop read this. I've been wanting to bunnyhop for about a year and everyday I have practised and practised and I gave up a few weeks back, today I went out in the rain to practise my car park skills and I started to do an endo withought my front brake so I was pleased. Then I accidently lifted my front wheel whilst trying to do and endo and I did it, then again, and again. So the secret is give up I guess or stop trying so hard 😂

[@willclarke9777]

I’m really struggling to get my front and back wheel high could you give me some tips pls

[@danielchen8153]

THX! Really helpful! In fact, I have suffered from both nosedive and "front wheel bunny hop". So I think the point is to lift the rear wheel as soon as the front wheel reaches the maximum height? =)

[@elakObad]

I think practicing to lift your handlebars into your hips before you lift your rear is kinda good. Atleast it feels cool, I can only jump over small stuff :p

[@AlexSalikan]

For tailwhips, I can spin the bike easily with my feet on the ground, but when I try it out of a bunnyhop it always stalls halfway through the whip. Any tips?

[@TomCardy]

Yeo! Yes, try it out of a flat bank or into a flat bank first its so much easier then flat ground

[@pableitor]

Thx for the great vid, maybe the best bunnyhop howto on youtube. BTW at 3:35 I noticed you have your rear wheel brake on your left hand , and theres no front brake on your hardtail. Any reason for that ?

[@davecardy3984]

Awsome mate great explanation I need to watch my shins lol 😂
