[@SethsBikeHacks]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥best, most complete jumping tutorial on KZbin... well done Phil!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

+Seth's Bike Hacks Coming from you that means a lot! Thanks Seth!

[@Jack1dg]

Please can you two stop posting comments on each other's videos rimming each other, I love both ur videos but the comments u two post are getting a tad cringey

[@LupichTube]

+Jack D Gray Don't be so negative.

[@Create_o_raptor]

+Jack D Gray there's nothing wrong. he's just telling the fact.

[@flow2tech]

+Jack D Gray Stop drinking the haterade! shit will rot ur damn teeth out yo!

[@The_Sampler]

I agree with Seth - this and the video on manuals are a step above the rest. It is evident how much thought you put into the demonstrations and breakdowns. Extremely approachable, very informative, and also entertaining!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

+The Singletrack Sampler You comment made my day. Thank you =]

[@The_Sampler]

+Phil Kmetz MTB Ride on dude, it was well deserved. Hey, what do you think about doing a video on tire selection? I know it's a more specific topic, but I also know that your racing background means you have some great working knowledge to share.

I have met extremely skilled riders and none of them can literally explain how they do what they do. It is actually a talent to be able to explain it.....cheers

[@71hernandez]

I'm 47 and trying to learn how to jump along with my 8 year old son , this video has been by far the best explanation of the mechanics of how to jump . Thanks Phil ! Also great to see you used Noonday , one of our local tracks , in the video .

[@Arno-wr8vz]

Hey man you're not alone I'm 47 and I'm learning how to jump along with my 7 year old son. Cheers from France!

[@petercasey3052]

How yee doing now?

[@williambutler1955]

I just got my dirt jumper from a friend two days ago. I used to ride 15 years ago. My son who is 11 now wants me to ride the park with him. Can’t wait to see his face when he sees me dust off the cobwebs

[@dukeofmtb]

So...it's been a year now. How did it go? I've been seriously practicing jumps for a half a year now and I still can't clear jumps. I'll get a good one here and there, but I usually case. Ugh, it's so frustrating.

[@AngelSantos-vi6qd]

The Duke of MTB don’t worry, I’m still trying to wheelie my bike 😂

[@bkxc]

Phil's killin' it on the hill. Jumps and wheelies just don't come natural, gotta put in some work this summer.

[@alfiejw5534]

Hmm no comments that’s weird

[@Twizz1979]

"Jumping the bike" at 2:05. Fantastic! I was laughing so hard.

[@ryansahd1]

I am starting out as a 40 year old trying to learn bmx and DJ- I have watched pretty much every video on Jumping And Bunny Hopping that KZbin has to offer. This is the best video I have seen. Excellent work.

[@pablobasstb]

NO-ONE explains things as good as you do. Thanks Bro!!

[@trailladymtb7700]

Hi Phil! I've been using your tutorials to learn and relearn skills I need to brush up on (and wasn't good at in the first place) . Ive been off a MTB for more than 15 years and its so good to be back..although I am now 51. yrs old . I'm being more careful by riding smarter.... but I feel with my brand new, and much better bike(, 29er kicks butt! )and being a rejuvenated rejuvenile rider... makes me feel young! I now access skill improvement videos,,,I have been able to ride sections I wasn't confident to ride before.....and also one thing I remember from Mo Awesome....head up... looking where you want to go. thanks for the help and keep em" coming Phil!!

[@bartkerswell]

just became new to mtb and this video helped alot

[@LuisGonzalez-le5tn]

I hit my first jumps yesterday for the first time ever! Using your pump technique helped me greatly! I looped over and over again on the same section of trail!😂😂😂 Thank you!

[@brandonbrumley4896]

In all seriousness this has been the most informative jump video I've seen. The "lever" analogy really helped it click for me.

[@cfith22]

Phil, great video man. Thanks for taking the time to help others get better at skills and ultimately enjoy MTB more. You rock, keep it up bro!

[@OTBregularly]

Thanks for the video. I’ve been at it for a year and I’m in my mid 40’s. Your Whistler videos have my youngest son wanting to get involved which means we get to learn and progress together. For that, I can’t thank you enough.

[@fedecira]

You explained to me in 5 minutes what I have not understood in years. Thank you

[@willcat636]

This tutorial is amazingly clear and well put together. Great job!! Thank you!!

[@cdwag23]

Hey Phil! I'm just getting back into riding MTB after 5 years. Always struggled with jumps but I remembered what you said about pulling up on the bars and pushing them forward, and I've successfully cleared a black diamond jump trail!! I was so pumped man! I'd give you a hug if I could. This really helped me out

[@markfromtinder9616]

So I just discovered this video. When you said that we shouldn't have to jump the back tire and it should flow with the front that is the information I needed. THANK YOU PHILL

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Stoked to hear that ~7 years later this video is still helping :) Happy riding Mark!

[@anthonyhernandez6521]

Best tutorial on bunny hops, thanks.

[@MattGillam]

Superb, short, simple and to the point. Thank you.

[@craftedworkshop]

Great video as usual, Phil. I need to find a BMX track in my area to practice on!

[@Safewoood]

Finally someone talks about bunnyhops in a jumping video this is how i explain how to jump myself

[@Scott-mk7tz]

Man that reverse rowing action make a HUGE difference!!! Not only did it increase my height but it also seems to stabilize the bike in the air. In the past I've sort of lost my balance in the air.

[@bbalaz]

Finally someone explaining it right! Outstanding job Phil! Thank you!

[@weekendmountainbiker9457]

After watching this tutorial I feel very confident. I will attempt to jump the shark tank tomorrow at noon. "A"👍

[@aky19832001]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO TUTORIAL EVER!! EVEN SETH AGREES. Now, if Only I had a bike!

[@Lordbunson]

This is the best video I've found for learning to jump, thanks

[@AdventurewithSimon]

This is literally the best jumping video on KZbin. The key points are the arrows how you show to pull on the bars and to push the rear wheel. The American bunny hop analogy is awesome. And the step by step approach to getting more and more air is perfect, especially with the small starting ramp. I have been looking for a video to break it down like this for years. AWESOME!! Now I have a question for you - does this same technique apply to steep dirt jumps? Would you be able to do a video on jumping steeper jumps? The ones where you go higher than you do wide? Thanks for the great video!!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

+Riding With Simon I saw you Reddit comment. I really appreciate it man. Personally I'm a very visual learner and I need arrows and graphs to help illustrate things.

[@crashblakmor6656]

Really good informative tips that I'm going to try and incorporate this weekend. Thanks!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

After watching this video I feel like I can jump better now! Thank you👍

[@zablobby1939]

Good job Phil, i appreciate how useful these videos are.

[@SkillsWithPhil]

+Zablobby Thanks man, I put a lot of time into them but the comments make it completely worth it.

[@zablobby1939]

+Phil Kmetz MTB Yeah, i watch your videos as they inform me into improving my mountain bike skills as i will soon start racing downhill. Thanks for your commitment.

[@alexanderhall4744]

"But some bikes may be harder to 'jumper' than others." Caught your slip up amigo! Loved the video though.

[@sundown8625]

I am a self taught beginner and this video helped me learn how to jump even higher. Thx

[@ogden99]

Brilliant video! I found this really helpful thanks Phil!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

+Callum Ogden Glad to hear that =]

[@headbanger1977]

This is exactly what I needed, a tutorial broken down in steps. Perfect, thanks.

[@Eurekify]

Have seen already a lot of vids but yours helps me the most .. Actually your vids forced me to comment on YT first time in my life :-D Keep us posted. Phil, great job!! THANK YOU.

[@jakubknioa1159]

I think that the way Phil described the forces with the arrows, and good wideo records of jumping like on a 3:20 make this tutorial thte best on yt. I wasn't able to jump far and high enough to clear even a small jumps, and after watching that tutorial it took me a week of practise to jump almost a 2 meter long jumps with clearing it easily.

[@srrtbb]

Yeah, I'm learning how to land a table top jumps. This helps a lot, now I just need to go out and try it.

[@peterswanson2090]

That's the best video instruction on jumping Ive seen - nice job! And love the mo!

[@mkim64]

I like your diagrammatic explanations. Keep it up!

[@WhiteDean45]

Thanks Phil!! I thought I knew how to jump until I saw this video. Very educational as well.

[@thetrailnomad]

Such a cool video. It‘s three years old but still the best out there. Thanks for making it.

[@mooganoid]

Great video! Love the humour too - good work Phil.

[@colinzeppi9371]

Rich Moog To my knowledge, on drop offs you always do something along the lines of the manual technique.

[@TheMarkoPoloProgram]

25 years old and looking to get into mountain biking sometime next year. I have a haunting memory of trying to do a jump on a small makeshift ramp as a child. I didn't do it properly so I face planted and got a concussion.

[@iceisnice61]

"...jumping your mountain bike..." now that was funny. Great vid/tutorials. Really enjoy your coaching style.

[@ChristianAchter]

Well explained with a lot of important details. Thank you.

[@brian5460]

Thanks for this Phil! Learning to jump is on the top of my list for riding skills this season. Keep up the great work!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

+Brian K Good luck! work on practicing pumping and getting that down, and then jumping in the natural progression.

Thx Phil!! The best video on how to jump I saw... Simple and intuitive explanation... Finally I understand what I'm doing wrong 👍

I think this video is far better than Phil thinks. I’d even dare say that it deserves a re-issue.

thumbs up as soon as you started jumping over the bike :D

As a dirt bike rider we learned these things when we were like 9-13 and we learned it by ourself. Today I could get over a really big kicker with my "kona shred" but today I don't do these stuffs anymore bc it got me too crazy

[@nerdexproject]

I think I will benefit from this a lot! Thanks man!

[@TheRadiopharus]

Phil I've commented on your technique before. I have learned the american bunny hop from some friends in Europe, they do it differently. Basically, they do a manual and when the front wheel is in the air they stand up and point their toes and pedals downwards

[@bikingstory1319]

best turorial that i had seen. thx yo

thanks man, I just started mountain biking and I was so lost lol. this helped alot

[@schwarnoldnarzenschwegger1886]

I always get off the pedals in air ;( my shins dont like that

[@austinhale9852]

don't clip in to do jumps you'll just hurt yourself if you aren't extremely experienced with clips, just try to let the bike come up to you in mid air and never push on it at all with your feet

[@TheDirthound]

Try rotating your feet forward as you leave the lip of the jump instead of keeping them level.
