  • Hi everybody, today's video is all about bunnyhops!
    I've seen there are lots of videos on CZcams about how to bunnyhop but I've yet to see one that tells you all the tips needed to get MASSIVE ones. I figured as they're one of my favourite tricks and I can go pretty high (125cm personal best, not seen many people in the world go higher than that) I would try and explain how to do it.
    I've included the very basics as well as the techniques needed to get 120cm+ so hopefully there's something for everyone.
    Please give the video a watch and let me know if it helps you, also if you want your own bunnyhop bar to practice on, click the link below to my previous video showing you how to build your own portable, light and cheap bar setup.

      @ShermanSitter Před 6 lety

      i agree! I have road bicycles and thought it might be a good idea for my commuting to be able to do a modest, beginner height bunny hop...I've tried and failed, but you explained it so well i may try again. Mostly fear of falling backwards stops me even though my light bicycle has tried to wheelie by itself when i put a lot of pressure on a fast start. :)

    I just figured out how to do a tiny bunnyhop on my friends bike yesterday.

    Very good lesson. I just started riding trials about two weeks ago. So I'm just learning to bunny hop (and unlearning SPD bunny hop) and other stunts. It's difficult, but I hope that next summer I've learned something.
    I'd also like to see more of your lessons.

    Bro, best tutorial I've seen... you have a new subscriber! Please do more how to videos. I just started getting in to MTB and I want to do those stuff even though I'm old, lol

    Excellent... appreciated the super slow motion to help learn the technique.
