Me : knows how to bunny hop
Also me : watch a bunny hop tutorial because Phil explains well
cy toplasme lol same
Is this format really the only way to say what u just said?
@@theevster3413 no it isn't
Same
Yup!
Phil I just learned how to bunny hop in less than 10 minutes thanks to this video and I am just commenting this now but it has been a couple weeks since I watched this and have gotten a lot better and gotten a lot of practical use on the trails out of it and wanted to say thanks.
That's sick mate.
Way to go Noah

Sweet🤩
You must be the chosen one. 😮,10inutes,yea ,sure...
"Most of us has a full suspension bike"
*me cries in broke*
Easier to learn to bunny on a hardtail. Skills and strength are basically free. Get on your bike.
I prefer hard tails personally. Feel like every time I stand and peddle up a Hill on a full suspension, you might as well be peddling into the ground.
@@reboundrides8132 yeah if you have your suspension in the back really soft then yeah but you can harden it to basically make it a hardtail
@@CommanderQuest My bottle with water weights more than the rear shock
djlespommes That must be why every one of these videos is done on a full-suspension...
*Phil* : Explains it expertly
*Me* : Oh, that's simple, I get it!!
*Also Me* : _Goes Outside_ - Proceeds to smash rear wheel into curbs *_sigh_*
Its nuts man. It looks so straight forward and you're sure you can do it, but your body just doesn't produce! >:(
@@CrimsonReaper83 I feel you. It's exactly the same for me.
Do you ever practice in the street, and then go fast and practice in the street, and then feel like you can do it up the curb without knowing the pain your back wheel is about to suffer?
@@theobirdsong2022 bro that's is me on bikes and boards 😂
@@theobirdsong2022 Nothing parties like a rental... w. the insurance!
This is the best bunny hop video for learners so far. The essential Phil!
Tommi Korhonen where are you from?
@@nicki3305 why would you want to know that?
@@senpai3556 because I can
@@nicki3305 thats not a proper explanation for why you would want to know
@@senpai3556 I'm curious where he's from because his name sounds Finnish
Phil, just as with so many of your videos before, you are the master at analyzing and explaining how to think, and practice the bunny hop. You're the man, thanks a lot, and please keep doing them.
When I first watched bunny hop tutorials I used to think "that's physically impossible." This video does a great job of explaining why it is possible.
@@speedster2 Just do what you can't do...in the words of Fabio Wibmer
@@speedster2 Same
Yes. This.
I've spent a good 2 hours watching dozens of videos on bunny hopping to figure out what I'm doing wrong. So many videos by the "pros" and even more videos by the "guys who will tell you what the pros don't tell you", but THIS is by far the most thorough explanation; you don't gloss over a single detail. Thank you!
This was honestly the best and most comprehensive bunny hop tutorial I've ever come across. Thanks Phil!
Spring-assisted kookery,
Missed the “let’s just hop into it” line haha
Doh 🤦♂️
Missed opportunities
I'm still pretty hoppy with the content
@@ryry5249 Great, uplifting, attitude.
When Phil posts a video, that's one of my favorite parts of the day.
Thanks Phil! Keep up the content!
Extremely well explained, thank you!
I'll be bookmarking this.
Dude that’s the best description of the mechanics and movements I’ve seen yet! Perfectly explained👍
Spot on explanation Phil!
Hey Phil, I love your how to videos! They are so helpful. Keep them coming. Thanks!
Had my first proper summer shred today, got home, the SO had a delicious salad ready, the beer was cold and Phil has uploaded a new vid! today is gid!
The most comprehensive bunny hop vid yet, and explained so well. As always, you're Phil Kmetz, and you are Phil with skills. 🤘
Appreciated the breakdown of the different motions. Can’t wait to go try it!
Thank you for explaining and showing the progression.
Thank you Phil! I honestly miss these tutorials. Your insights really help us learn. Next level. 😎 Awesome!
-Sam
Dude, that was fantastic. I’m going to learn to do a bunny hop before this season ends. Thx man!
Awesome explanation! Cant wait to try it!
Very clearly explained! Thanks Phil 👍🏼
Tutorial for dummies, yes!!!! I so needed this. Thank you so much
Best explenation on the internet.... especially like the preload section and how a ahrd tail differs from a full suss... thanks very much.
Another Amazing video Phil!!!!
Wow! Such a great, detailed video. Thanks Phil!
Thank you for all you do for the MTB and BMX community Phil. Your teaching is top notch. Still refining this skill on my BMX. We live in amazing times with referencing like this and the ability to video ourselves for technique correction.
Never heard the lifting the front wheel as a way to gain more movement from your legs before. Great explanation.
Great video; very thorough. Can't wait to try. 👍👍👍
Love you, Phil. This is a great video.
I've ridden bikes for years, mainly bmx. I can still remember how much I struggled to learn my first bunny hops.
This video is the best explanation I have ever seen. Comparing it to a regular jump with your feet is such a good idea to visualize and understand what you have to to.
Great job!
Man, this is BY SOOOO FAR the best bunny hop tutorial out there, I love your way of explaining stuff!
Great explanation and break down of the steps, thanks!
Very good discription! Helps me a lot! Thank U!
This is the absolute best bunny hop analysis/tutorial I've seen by far. Phil, you are awesome. Keep up the great work!
It's great when you know how to do a move, like a Bunny Hop, but go back & watch a well-directed video on the subject to refresh on key fundamentals. I ride clipped in, so bunny hopping is like cheating now & you tend to lose focus on fundamentals, such as weight transfer (since in most use cases, you can rely on your front wheel to come up & the use of the clips/reverse squatting to bring the rear tire up). The extra weight transfer/preloading allows you to fully trampoline upward, whereas making your clips/legs do all the work brings you up less. Thanks for a good stay-at-home drill to practice Phil!
Explained really well, thanks Phil 👏👍
thanks for the tips and can't wait to practice this tomorrow
Phil you're the man
This was actually a nice breakdown and tutorial. Back in the day I could bunny hop a bmx bike easy. Fast forward years later I was having a hard time on a full suspension. This video helped out a lot
I was just going to write this same idea, better to just to agree with you here. Learned on a bmx and I started mt. biking on a rigid, just got back into the sport 3 years ago but going full sus. So good to have a refresher on how to do this and the mechanics of the "new tech" we're riding! BTW I rode my first mt bike recently, a 1988 Diamond Back, very very different! #Ilikesuspension
Great tutorial! One of the best out there. Thanks for the work!
Great video Phil! A lot of info I’ve never heard before
i know im late on commenting to this but this video did so much for me!
Perfect timing, Phil. I was just rewatching all bunny hop videos I know before I go out to ride and practice.
It's three hours later, I'm back at home and actually got a little better. You are a gifted teacher, Phil. Especially the "don't pull, just carry your bike with you." part gave me the right perspective and I had some small but significant progress today.
The best bunny hop explanation. Thanks!
Good stuff Phil! Can’t wait to practice now!
The track stand and the bunny hop are two of the most important skills in my book for riding any kind bike on dirt.
Nevermind dirt. Even on the the streets they are both handy skills to have.
100% I was riding a pretty long and narrow skinny and this guy asked how I learned to do that. I told him keep your eyes looking ahead and practice track stands as much as possible.
@@kudosbudo If you say so, the only time I ride on the street is to get from one dirt jump spot to the next. lol
That is incredibly well-explained ! I appreciate how you put things in perspective by relating each movement to Physic. +1 like and subscribe :D
Excellent video. Great job explaining it all.
Great explanations on the different aspects, made a lot of sense in my mind. Thanks Phil!
I really liked this vid even though I already know how to bunny hop
i like how this comes out the day i'm trying to learn the american bunny hop
Very well explained and demonstrated, thanks!
thanks phil! as always lovely explained.
I rode a lot of MTB trials as a kid and young adult, but life got busy and here I am 15 years later watching a bunny hop tutorial 🤣
My issue is specifically as I’ve moved from a fully rigid, to a full suspension bike and this video really helped me understand why my bunnyhops are lacking pop. Great explanation of a subtly different technique, I’ll put some of this into practice tomorrow, thanks 👍🏻
4 bunny hop videos in and finally got the aha at 5:20 where you don’t pull with your arms as much
What an exceptional tutorial. Thanks Phil!
Excellent narration and video footage. Thank you.
This is great to have mtn bike youtubers like yourself. Because when I was getting into mtn biking trying to learn the skills I would ask my friends that are experienced riders how to do something and they just say idk I just kinda do it. So to this day (i’ve been mtn biking for 2 years now) i can bunny hop 2ft high and when someone ask me how I do a skill I really don’t know.😂 It’s one of those things that just comes natural.
Lakeside Launchers yo what’s up man I noticed you live in tennessee, I live in northern alabama and I ride white oak all the time.
when a physics teacher learns to bike to fit in with the students
Great vid, your the man for explaining in clear steps
Great addition to all other bunny hop videos. This is A number one!
I just realized he filmed this in my local park
Hes done a few here, last one with his bride. Recognize that green shed..lol
@@jb-il3vh do you live near there too?
@@ianfergerson2884 I'm in the Pioneer Valley right near VT and its killing me because I know I recognize the area, but it could be anywhere around here.
@@porchecayman93 I don't want to give up the exact location, but it is in Chittenend county VT, and I have seen Phil around town multiple times, and at our ski mountain.
@@ianfergerson2884 aaahhhhh alright! I used to live up there now I'm back in north western mass. These hills and fields all have the same feel and vibe.
Can you do the “level up” challenge but with bunny hopping 😂
Great explainer Phil! Thanks for all your helpful video tutorials!
I enjoy the explanation. Thank's for your sharing Phil. 😇
I’ve been bunny hopping on my hard tail for years but last weekend I got the chance to ride a full suspension bike for the first time and instantly thought “I bet I can bunny hop way higher on this than my hard tail” honestly bunny hopping on a hard tail feels way more rewarding and is a much quicker motion so just remember you don’t need a full suspension bike to get off the ground
The issue I have found with pulling my back wheel into the air with my feet pointed forwards is, I somehow pull to hard and my feet slip off the pedal bar thing doing a full 360 hitting me in the shine. OW It happened 3 times same exact spot, idk if it's because i'm using a hard tale? I don't have a full suspension to expensive... Help?
Dnh Bear I’ve found that you just have to get the timing right I’ve done that before too it sucks maybe practice on plastic pedals it might help with learning without killing your shins I k ow they aren’t great but it might help
Brody Romano Thanks I will work on my timing and practice more. But the thing was I was using plastic pedals that have some insane teeth. I was thinking about using shine guards until I get the hang of it? Thanks for the advise!
Dnh Bear yep shin gaurs are always a good idea
When bunny hopping with a hardtail, are the mechanics exactly the same as you describe in this video? If so, how does the rear wheel get preloaded without a suspension?
Think about it in this way: Jumping [without a bike] on a trampoline vs jumping on firm ground. When jumping on flat ground, you still crouch down before pushing off the ground. When jumping on a trampoline, you need to drop down into a crouching position which will stretch the netting and spring before you jump upwards. The only difference is really in how you get into a crouching position whether on or off a bike. Hopefully that makes sense
Wow I had the same question, thanks for answer phill
Great information. Very well explained!
love the detailed break down, specially the toe pointing! thank you!
i bet 80% of people watching this know how to bunny hop already
I'm trying to get higher on this redline pl26 I bought. Lol thought this would help. It's a way longer bike than I'm used to. The basics always help me
Thank you for the lesson, very well explained.
Well done! You broke it down perfectly.
Thanks Phil, you are an excellent teacher!
best break down of the bunny hop I’ve seen! thank you!!
Really helpful with the mechanics and the order of them. Thank you.
Fantastic break down!
