I just wanted to say that although bmx may not be your favorite thing CURRENTLY, these videos really have helped my progression a lot. I'm 23y/o and decided to pick up bmx again the other day after not having ridden for over 10 years. Thanks Adam!

[@TheQuantumFart]

Waiting for my bike and I'm gonna be doing the same thing. I haven't rode bmx since Scotty cranmers crash. I'm basically gonna have to relearn everything. I was briefly on one last year and couldn't even bunnyhop anymore. Not even the small hop😂

[@neji5163]

Jessica Tackett after i learned a trick for bunny hopping up a curb i can now do it up foot high boxes. They only thing i can say for advice is do a small manual up to it and get your front wheel over the curb then do a late bunny hop before you back tire touches the curb. it takes way less energy then really trying to muscle your way through it

[@notsofairisit]

Another method that I used and helped me so much while learning to hop higher is lowering your rear tire pressure. it acts almost like a spring and once you get it down go back to whatever you were at before and it really helps. ( I went from 80 to 40 )

[@Andrei-cp5jr]

+TaffyCo. Try taking the wheels and sprocket off your bike, and the practice hop bars on a matress. But first put something on the tip of the forks to prevent damage. ;) I did that and it really helped learning barspins fast (like 3-4 weeks) ;).

Great video man. This is the most useful tutorial I've watched so far. I'm trying to bunny hop on a 26'' bike, no suspension etc, and it's probably harder to do than on a bmx, but so far I've tried all day just to lift my front and back wheel up separately, and what I found out on my own is the same what you said about pushing down into the bike is what gives you the momentum to go up. And I wasn't really sure if I'm doin it right, cos in all the other tutorials I've watched they said you needed to move your weight back in order to lift the front wheel. So... I really find your how to-s very very helpful , thanks

[@thomasjtn4232]

those bikes are harder because they are longer so you need more strength and momentum to get them up. like its easier on a shorter frame and the wheel dimensions also make the bike longer. I can bunny hop my mountain bike but I can bunny hop my old 20 inch fit bike like 10x higher

[@Th3MysticGam3rs]

is physics different in the USA because in England you learn newtons laws in year 7 which is when you're 11

[@EliteSniperTV]

It's like that but our education is dog shit and physics is in high school

[@furfur13]

well i learned newtons laws when i was 8 in texas but learning newtons laws isnt learning physics. Physics is so much more than learning 3 simple rules.

[@EliteSniperTV]

+crimsontide_15 yeah it probably depends on the textbook over here

[@tdunster2011]

Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi. As Newton wrote it in 1687 . However, after 1820 or so we tend to learn the 3rd law from the work of secondary texts more so than the work of Newton himself as latin and the use of fluxions and fluents is not widely understood anymore.

[@bethanybmx8877]

+Nsr jack&zac Never stop riding Go a little faster, and don't stop turning your head. What I did was, I would ride towards something like a tree, for example, and then I would go to do a 3 and I would turn my head until I saw the tree. That's a good way to try to learn it. It's just all about keeping your head turned. Check out our channel! We were actually considering making a few new how to's so maybe we will make one on hop 3s.
