I'm a 57 year old female who just started mtb a year ago. I got interested because the trails looked fun, so I bought a used Specialized Hard Rock and fell in love with the whole thing. One of my first trips out I accidentally went a bit airborne when I hit a rock and discovered the fun of jumping! After that I started jumping everything, not very well, not like a kid who's been doing it for years, but like an old woman who felt young again! I have been trying to bunny hop for a year, watching all the videos, especially Seth's and Phil's, and I have finally got the hang of it! I can do it! I just bought a dropper post for the Specialized Crave I now have, and am so addicted. If I can learn to bunny hop, anyone with determination can!
Mate, I’m almost 44 and have been bombing down mountains since my early 20’s (pre-wife and kids). I knew I always cheated with clip-ins and this Covid-19 lock down has given me the opportunity to rediscover my love for MTB’ing and re-learn some key basic skills. Your earlier video on how to bunny hop with the slow-mo and narrative helped tremendously...after visualising how to do it I am now bunny hopping properly and without clip-ins. Thank you....I’m still working how my wheelies and manuals.
This video has probably helped me the most in understanding how to bunnyhop. It really shows it from the perspective of a beginner and helps people understand that a small bunnyhop is better then no bunnyhop mainly because when youtubers do a bunnyhop explanation they do huge massive ones that people feel like they have to match for a bunnyhop. Thank you Seth
You can never have too many bunnyhop videos, keep them coming. Thanks to you and Phil i'm getting closer to a nice high bunnyhop, although some muscles I never knew I had are protesting.
The wonderful thing I learned about teaching (I started teaching a trade at a college 3 years ago, a trade I have done professionally for 20 years) is that it forces you to find explanations for your techniques that you probably haven't ever had to think about, you just do them. For me, teaching greatly increased my understanding of the subject matter because I had to analyze every piece of a task so that I could express the WHY behind them, instead of just saying--"do it this way". Great video, and I learn something every time I teach a class.
So true. Everyone learns in a different way because what they hear and how they put the information together in their own head is a very personal thing. Covering every angle, even those that would never occur to the teacher(ie questions asked by students), allows the student to get a lot of information and take from it what works for them. In this case it's their body/bike combo and how they can make physics work for their own situation.
I like this kind of videos. Here you see real beginners, not professional riders, who actually try to learn it like I do. This motivates me to keep practicing and prevent me from getting discouraged when I don't see any progress. For all people, who 'watch millions of vids an still can't' a specific technique... You already know all about the theory, you don't need more vids. just keep practicing - this is all you need to do.
I watch this channel since the beginning. From sandals with no helmet and now, with a proper kit, a badass bike and a skill clinic. keep up the good work man
Wow Seth I admire you for taking your time to help teach people to bunny hop. You really are a good sport and need more sportsman like you in the community. I wish I knew someone like you when I was younger, I had to learn the long and hard way to bunny hop when I was small and young. Keep up the good work Seth. And I can't believe you're nearly on 100 000 subscribers!
The bunny hop is a very subtle skill that is almost magical. It looks so easy, until you try to do it. When you watch people who have mastered it, working it into their riding, it adds a whole other level of beauty and sophistication. Watching them jump over things and clearing things with no ramp is truly magical.
Thanks for the inspiration Seth! I was sitting on my couch watching this video because I felt like I haven't been able to reach the heights that I want to on my mtb. So I went outside with a bunch of 4x4 pieces of fire wood and stacked them up, first three, then four and I even cleared 5! I haven't jumped anything that high on a mtb ever before. I still have a long way to go to match what I used to do on a bmx back in the day and at 30 I probably look ridiculous to my neighbors but today I was 14 again and that was hella fun!
Hey Seth. Nice work as always. I admire you for taking time out to help/teach all those riders. A long block of sponge/foam weighted at the bottom may work for your bunnyhop practice. Keep up the cool vids bro.
Thanks, and good idea! I find that the "limbo" style hop meters are difficult to spot for a beginner, so a solid foam piece solves both that issue and the safety concerns of solid blocks.
Seth, looked like an awesome day, and welcome to the life of an instructor. I was taught EDIP as an acronym explain, demonstrate, imitate and practice. So explain first then you'll demonstrate, your students will follow you and imitate and then you leave them practice. good luck and keep up with the clips
Dear Seth, because of one of your bunny hop videos I was able to learn and do the trick. You also taught me how to manual. Thank you so much. Keep making these sensational videos.
Holy crap, this video opened my eyes. I've tried over and over getting my rear wheel off the ground using my feet, which had never worked, and the technique you taught seems like it would work
I wanna know who gives these videos a thumbs down.... I love this channel, just about every single video you do is great! Very helpful for new riders and just fun to watch after I come home from my morning rides. While I would consider my self an advanced rider I still enjoy these videos and always tell people who are new to MTBing to check them out. How can you not like them.....
This is my favorite how to bunny hop video. It explains so good. Its crazy to see Seth back in Florida! And didn't realize but this is posted on my birthday!
It's really true, worrying about the feet too much has a negative effect. I'm just starting to practice to get better with bunny hops, and at first it was all english bunny hops. Watched about every TH-cam bunny hop video, and I finally started to get that the front wheel has to come up first. Once you do that, you really start to feel that it's all controlled through the bars, and your feet are mostly just along for the ride. Of course there's a little scoop from your feet, but I think that's the key to teaching a bunny hop, getting people to understand that, so good on ya there!
Hey guys! Here's a little bonus for today www.singletracks.com/blog/mtb-podcast/interview-with-seth-of-seths-bike-hacks/ it's a podcast with Singletracks.com
great video good teacher, Seth is a rider who care about is students a big different in this video then the one before, clear with much wisdom in learning to ride
helmets off to you Seth! its a noble thing to share your skills / talent to fellow bikers. I wish i could join your biking clinic but hey, im half way around the world. cheers from manila philippines! :)
i come from a bmx background and im looking into mountain biking. until last week i thought mountain bikers were crazy to go down a mountain like that with no traction on loose dirt and loose rocks, but my views changed when i saw two of my friends going to the beach before our class on their bikes, they asked me if i wanted to join them so i was like yeah. we took a few short cuts through bushes and a small hiking trail and hit a few jumps (messed up sidewalk blocks that formed a triangle and a few mounts form naturally in the trails) when we were riding they were pedaling pretty hard and i was trying to keep up with them and since i was focused on keeping up the whole scary part about loose dirt and rocks slipped my mind. after a few minutes into the trip i realized how much ive been enjoying it. i mean i had never done such a thing on my bmx. this was more fun cause i felt alive, the adrenalin rush made me try out a few bmx tricks while riding through a forest that was the most fun i had on a bike. now im buying a decent bike and gonna try to hit up a few trails. i go to college at upstate ny and its all mountains up here pretty sure there will be tons of trails for me to try out.
I can get over most things I encounter on my trails but want to be able to clear larger objects, plus just have more fun. Riding clipless but ordered some flats to play on as well. The manual is what I have a hard time with, think learning on flats will help that out alot.
I would pay for a clinic like that! I think it's awesome your taking the time helping others to improve! I'm currently following an instructor's course. Always line up your students in a row in front if you and if the sun is out YOU should always be the person looking into it so your students can see you! And always talk first, show them yourself and then let them try! ;-)
I'm buy ten bucks worth of stickers Seth. Not because I need that many but to support this very cool thing you are doing. You got me bunny hopping and crashing at the park with my kids! Ha!
A friend once told me a trick that helps a lot still to this day, what you need to do is look where you want to go rather than what you are doing (he told me to shout looking good to look for good lines) this helps with jumps and bunny hops because when you look at the ground you don't get anywhere near as much height
congrats on your first clinic ! They are fun and each one gets easier . Only thing i would add cuz my ladies love it , is snacks and hydration :) I usually provide a lunch then we go into the trails after our skills and drills session ( I've been able to collect donations to pay for these things and local bike shop can help of course ) can't wait to see what the future holds love how this is growing for you !
Great video. Looks like it was a lot of fun for all. Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos, and the bunny hop vids in particular. Between you & +ThePhilkmetz, at the age of 44 think I've finally learned how to bunny hop consistently. Maybe not quite like a boss, yet, but I'm working on it :) Cheers!
I know how to bunny hop but bunny hop to manual is something that pretty much everyone wants to master because it looks so cool! You should really do a tutorial on this
Great video. I like the idea of the stacked two by fours. If you fill it up the cooler with beer I might just have to drive down from NC. Haha! Oh wait... suppose to be family friendly! Dohhhh!!
That was interesting session, your and Phil's video about manuals have helped me a lot to get hang on to manual, but I've stopped practicing as I am having little pain in my shoulders.
My bike is a Jeep Renegade Classic i can barely get the thing to jump high at all but luckily i learned to jump over the curbs which helped a lot when there was car drivers not exactly being friendly in any way.

Great video! I think it's a great thing that you're tweaking your lessons based on the difficulties that other riders are having. I'm in IT and always find myself thinking about things like "No internet? why the hell he didn't turn wifi off then on?". It turns out we overlook things that are simple (or even automatic) to us, but not to others... BTW you could pay Vancouver - CA a visit and host a clinic one of these days :)
maybe different bikes too!!! what has worked for me was learning on a DJ bike before applying this technique to my MTB mullet bike.. a smaller bike for a bigger rider is a much easier tool to handle.. i have worked on my skills in my DJ bike and then once i have a more comprehensive concept of the movement .. i move back to my MTB bike, which allows me to develop the muscle memory for things.. a BMX bike is so easy to bail-off when manualig or bunny hopping. also for me so far, it seems that you go into a "micro" manual for a second and the movement of the handle bar pull goes with a little pedal push forward to bring that front up more! ROW/ANTI-ROW (reference to joy of bike lol..!)
THIS is totally going to help me and my challenge to go HIGHER baby!!! I can clean 17inches but not consistently and/or well. thank you. (I've been mainly doing English bunny hops, I am from the UK though)
Seth, you are real specialist! Vary talented man. I would like to be your student :) I love american mountain bikes and BMX (BMX when I was younger). Your technique is greatfull. I am watching all your videos and will try to do some simple tricks. Regards from Poland.
That full suspension fatty (salsa bucksaw?) at about 2:16, what a sweet frame color! I think that's the carbon frame that comes in red. Bet that's as nimble as fatties get though I have yet to ride one. Great video, helped my technique for sure!
Hey Seth, I just got a new bike! (stooooked). I can bunny hop alright, not anything to shout about but I've always struggled getting a decent amount of height. I was rolling around testing the new bike out (first bike i've built for myself :D) tried to hop and ignored my feet like you said, felt alot better, not sure how high i got but i will definately be trying more soon. Really liking the MTB community type work you've been doing, although i won't be taking any kids riding haha. Keep up the good work mate!
I can see that I can improve my bunny hops by forgetting about my feet. I always use them but I am British so the British bunyy is what I grew up with :-) Will try this. Nice session though.
Hi Seth. Are you doing any more clinics? I checked your website with no luck. I’m in Fort Lauderdale and would be interested in a clinic on some essential skills especially Bunny Hopping, but also descending/falling, sharp turns, etc. Thanks for the channel and any info you can give!
Hi Seth, Really enjoying your videos. I' m learning to bunny hop at the moment, any ideas on how to make an adjustable height obstacle that's easy to reset ? Joel
+Seth's Bike Hacks would you recommend saving up more for a nice bike whether it is hard tail or full suspension or go ahead and buy a cheap full suspension this is considering I don't have a mtb I have a cheap crappy bmx mongoose
Hey, I have some tips: put some small pieces of wood at the end of a long stick or plank like this |----| .. this will provide something that can be jumped over without it rolling. Then place some squeaky dog toys under this. Let people practice getting a wheel over it separately (front first, then rear, individually) and transition this into a bunny hop.
i just started trying to bunny hop last week, i can get the front end up but thats it.. ill try not to focus on my feet now and see if that works. keep up the awesome vids
hi seth absoloutely love your videos keep it up!while im bunny hopping i have no problem getting the front wheel up of the ground but its the back wheel i really struggle with,any tips?thx
Dude totally dig what you did here; I've been watching your videos to tweak my bunnyhop technique but my big problem is nobody rides trail around my area. I live in southeastern SC on an island; not far from you but isolated from other trail riders. Any advice to further develop a "bro network" of dirt guys?
I know that this might be a stupid question, but do you need front suspension to do the thing where you push down on the handlebars to preload to bring up the front wheel?
this channel made me buy a new MTB and use it like a MTB. I wish I could learn from you directly, but your videos help quite well Greetings from Germany

what has worked for me was learning on a DJ bike before applying this technique to my MTB mullet bike..
a smaller bike for a bigger rider is a much easier tool to handle.. i have worked on my skills in my DJ bike and then once i have a more comprehensive concept of the movement ..
i move back to my MTB bike, which allows me to develop the muscle memory for things.. a BMX bike is so easy to bail-off when manualig or bunny hopping.
also for me so far, it seems that you go into a "micro" manual for a second and the movement of the handle bar pull goes with a little pedal push forward to bring that front up more!

Hey just a tip! You can add a small little ramp to help them learn before progressing to flat ground! Cheers!
I'm fairly new to MTB, and almost 25 years removed from BMX. This is the one thing I would like to get mastered in the coming weeks.
Great video man! Let us know when your next clinic is, I'll gladly drive down for that a chance to ride Virginia Key!
I would have loved to have attended that clinic.
Hi Seth. Are you doing any more clinics? I checked your website with no luck. I’m in Fort Lauderdale and would be interested in a clinic on some essential skills especially Bunny Hopping, but also descending/falling, sharp turns, etc. Thanks for the channel and any info you can give!
Hi Seth,
Really enjoying your videos. I' m learning to bunny hop at the moment, any ideas on how to make an adjustable height obstacle that's easy to reset ?
Joel
this was really helpful and simple to follow, I dont know you would respond , but thanks for making the bunny hop way easier to learn!
Just learned to bunny hop thanks to this video ;)
Great Job Everyone!💯❤️
+Seth's Bike Hacks would you recommend saving up more for a nice bike whether it is hard tail or full suspension or go ahead and buy a cheap full suspension this is considering I don't have a mtb I have a cheap crappy bmx mongoose
Seth how can I attend your next clinic?
I'm in broward also, really enjoy your videos
Hey, I have some tips: put some small pieces of wood at the end of a long stick or plank like this |----| .. this will provide something that can be jumped over without it rolling. Then place some squeaky dog toys under this. Let people practice getting a wheel over it separately (front first, then rear, individually) and transition this into a bunny hop.
i just started trying to bunny hop last week, i can get the front end up but thats it.. ill try not to focus on my feet now and see if that works. keep up the awesome vids
I can barley get the front one up lol
+Chromeguy MCPE i for some reason alway pull with my arms...... and im traveling ao much nowadays because of summer
+Chromeguy MCPE so i cant rlly practice much
hi seth absoloutely love your videos keep it up!while im bunny hopping i have no problem getting the front wheel up of the ground but its the back wheel i really struggle with,any tips?thx
Dude totally dig what you did here; I've been watching your videos to tweak my bunnyhop technique but my big problem is nobody rides trail around my area. I live in southeastern SC on an island; not far from you but isolated from other trail riders. Any advice to further develop a "bro network" of dirt guys?
I know that this might be a stupid question, but do you need front suspension to do the thing where you push down on the handlebars to preload to bring up the front wheel?
Seth is probably the nicest person I have never met.
When are u doing one in VK again? Trails have improved alot!!
I used your ramp at Virginia key Mtb park it was awesome 👌
this channel made me buy a new MTB and use it like a MTB.
I wish I could learn from you directly, but your videos help quite well
