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

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!

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!

[@stevent1565]

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.

[@joaquinexequiellaput2475]

Probably the best tutorial on youtube

[@DaSketable]

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 :)

[@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

[@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.

[@EoZDesign]

ty so much, single tutorial on youtube from where i learnt how to bhop!

[@mmptony]

The sofa example is a blast

[@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!

[@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💙

[@waveonaut8044]

finally! I did it :D after a few days of trying and today I watched your video and it gave me support needed to get out today with my bike.. And I got it! Thanks man I am so happy right now.. this video helped me piece it all together :)

[@TomCardy]

[@HeathenRides]

I thought i knew all about bunny hops, clearly I didn't, i never lifted the bike with my feet just like an Ollie, this is probably the best i seen I didn't even know it was possible to do 360

[@TasosKatsaros275]

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

[@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!!

[@roelsmasterpiece9986]

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

[@LeCHRISFF]

Don't know how massively the rebound from suspension helps you to cheat, but I find full suspension trail bike easiest to bunny hop. Great guide!

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?

Which one better to do a bunny hop.. the bike you use or big flyer? Pls answer im confused

[@tennis5126]

I noticed that your left foot is in front of the right foot, is that universal for left and right foot dominate people? Or only for left foot dominate people?

[@albertooha]

Thank you so much

[@TomCardy]

Thanks bro!

[@jihadachkar6781]

Awesome video! Question: is it better to lock up the front suspension to stiffen the bike, or keep it to help with the compression before popping front wheel up?

[@jbw5485]

Jihad Achkar try it both ways and see what feels best. I’d say lock the front out.

[@noahnoyce7917]

I think he said its best to stiffen up the forks so you don't waste the energy on the forks compressing

[@audiovisualenquito]

Excellent!

[@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? =)

[@Liamrtghhjjtrrhvefbutrhv]

When you are on step 2 and you’re riding do you press both pedals equally ??

[@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 ?

[@vedanshbarge4580]

Hey Tom I just try to lift my front wheel up but just cannot hold it for long time. So, please can you give me suggestions about it.......

[@JuanEnriqueSerra]

Excellent!!

[@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! :)

[@ijosephng]

Wow that is amazing👍

[@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 😂

[@asroyasrul441]

Hi ! ! My Height is 1.62m & i wish to get a HardTail Mountain Bike.. Can u give me advise what Wheel Size should i get ? Is it 26" or 27.5 " Wheel Size ? I used to ride BMX many years ago so i want to start back cycling & relearn the Bunny Hop..

[@liangpeng9511]

What rim is required for intensive bunny hopping? How strong should my hub axles be in order to bear the shock from every bunny hopping? What I am having are 9mm hub axles and they are quick release. Thank you!

[@mravenger3070]

I have a stiff bike but I think it is heavy can I know how heavy is yours for comparison

[@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

[@WuYiQing]

Is there any relation, to learn wheelie first before trying to practice bunny hop tech? Does it make learning bunny hop easier? Or it is not necessarily so, to master wheelie first?

[@heathnortonflag]

The wheelie really doesn't help with your bunny hop. The manual helps though, in fact it is the same technique for lifting the front wheel.

[@TomCardy]

Exactly dude!
