i'm new to bmx and i needed to learn how to bunnyhop proper way because my friends say im doing it wrong. I've been lifting the whole bike up! Thanks for the video, i'll try it next time
lol @ this being the video that legit taught me how to bunny hop. this actually started my bmx career. thats crazy that i think 2 years ago i was watching this, struggling with it.
yep. I managed to do it today. The idea is not just bending the feet downwards. The most important part si to quickly throw you from the back of your bike to the front and after that , lifting the back part will always turn great.
The trick to the bunny hop is weight transfer...Pull up with elbows bent on handle bars and pull your front end up, while extending your arms...Then the thing no one ever tells you is the secret, bring your backside towards your rear tire, and this will then bring up your back tire...So pull, bring body forward, and then once you've got desired height on the front, sit back in the saddle, and your back wheel will leave the ground.. Hope this helps.. :)
watch his arms closely every time he bunny hops. I've only ever seen it mentioned in one video that I've found, but something else that helps is "throwing" your arms (essentially the handlebars) forward after pulling them up into your chest or gut. Think about it next time you ride, it helped me gain a few inches thinking about it every time I bunny hopped.
Nice, thanks for that, never knew about the scoop thing... my feet usually come off the pedals & I can never get the back wheel high enough. Now I'm off to practice.
Oh man thanks alot, that helped me LOTS. I had no idea what did people mean by saying "lift your legs up", duh.. Thanks for showing the pedal-lifting thingy. Cheers.
I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of instructions, but never did anyone say nothing about bringing the bike up with the pedals :O I hope this tip will hepl, because I'm having great difficulties hopping higher than 3-4 inches :( It also really helps to put the seat in the most lower position!
best bike is a specialized P1 dj bike like that one in the vid. single speed and it does aything. bike ladders jumps hops the whole scoop. also just cause its a hardtail doesnt mean it sucks for drop offs. iv done about 4 foot to flat concret and it was smooth! back to learning bunny hops now!!!
I guess that they're just spongy, and that are slightly pushed down when you're riding normally. Therefore, if you take weight off them, they expand and make the tig sound. Check all of your nuts, bolts, quick realeases or anything else though just incase :)
heres a tip BMX,, crouch down just before you attempt it while leaning back a small amount and then lift your front wheel of the ground and while doing that jump in a sort of forward position and pull the handle bars with you with all your strength and that should do the trick Dirt Jump,, do the same as a bmx but push down on your front suspension (the forks) so you have abit more momentum and then do the same as i mentioned about the bmx hope i helped
no don't pull your back brake, because the last thing you want is to forget to let it go once you land and then your more likely to fall, also when the wheels aren't spinning in mid air you actually lose momentum and speed because with the brake pulled the tire won't move, and you will always go faster when the tire is moving and cutting through the air. i learned to bunny hop about a year ago and now i can hop at about 2-3 feet
@w8253106 Yes, the "legit" way entails use your feel to apply upward pressure on the pedals. You're not going to get the most out of the hop if you don't apply some pressure to get the tail of the bike up.
I think I have a solution for your problem. I also had that problem. This solution worked for me. Try leaning forward as far as you can. Next, try putting back the wheel by just jumping with your legs. Try it a few times and just try to get the whole bike in the air.
it's simply known as a jump bike buddy. It's a bmx frame, with and extended top tube, 24in wheels rather than the 20in on bmx and 26in on mtb. they have forks as well with roughly 80mm-100mm of travel, with stiff rebound :)
Thank you for showing this you tell more better then any one i found in youtube becouse i understand what you mean but thaks for you learning every one!
It probably helped me. I still can't do it, but now atleast I know how to do it. Yesterday I was "jumping" around in the yard with my XC... but I finished, when I hit my knee into stem/headset... Ouchie!
@peter3337 hey man, bunnyhop is possible on any bike, it's just down to proper weight shifting, the weight of the bike doesn't matter that much. cheers!
@YourGamingTeam try pushing down on your pedal to get your front wheel higher , then pushing the bars forward, thats how i learned to bunnyhop on a mtb bike
you dont need special boots but some shoes are better than others. i prefer any style of vans with gum soles. they just grip onto the pins so nice for me....
i have tempest 3.0 and is easy to hop---lift up front wheel angle your pedals and push forward and up on the pedals angle your pedals almost vertically
just to let everyone know its a Jump bike. used in street park and some dirt and trials. Its a typical single speed jump bike. Looks like a very expensive one

Amazing tutorial, I didn't know how to lift the back wheel lol , thanks to him I now know :D .
heres a tip
BMX,, crouch down just before you attempt it while leaning back a small amount and then lift your front wheel of the ground and while doing that jump in a sort of forward position and pull the handle bars with you with all your strength and that should do the trick
Dirt Jump,, do the same as a bmx but push down on your front suspension (the forks) so you have abit more momentum and then do the same as i mentioned about the bmx
hope i helped
My son has the same bike and it's heavier than my wife's steel frame Giant Boulder. If you can bunny hop a Wal Mart Mongoose you are a bad dude.
iv been doing this for years, easy way to learn lean over bars and then try
That was great! I'll practice my ass off in the weekend :)
uhh just ridin around, bunny hop (wen i get it down!), wheelies, i make jumps in my back yard...
lol
no don't pull your back brake, because the last thing you want is to forget to let it go once you land and then your more likely to fall, also when the wheels aren't spinning in mid air you actually lose momentum and speed because with the brake pulled the tire won't move, and you will always go faster when the tire is moving and cutting through the air. i learned to bunny hop about a year ago and now i can hop at about 2-3 feet
This is 2 million times better than expert village! Thanks!
thanks pal, I learned to do the bunny hoop with you
hey man thanks, nice vid. I will show this video too some people so they can learn how to bunny hop. Greetings from Chile.
@w8253106
Yes, the "legit" way entails use your feel to apply upward pressure on the pedals. You're not going to get the most out of the hop if you don't apply some pressure to get the tail of the bike up.
His bike is a Kranked Republic 24. Ive got the same one. Its a hybrid of a bmx and a mountain bike.
this is like the best video to learn how to bunny hop thx
this is the best tutorial i have seen, thanks.
I think I have a solution for your problem. I also had that problem. This solution worked for me. Try leaning forward as far as you can. Next, try putting back the wheel by just jumping with your legs. Try it a few times and just try to get the whole bike in the air.

Best vid of a bunny hop on youtube. Thx man
wow this video helped the most out of all the hopping vids THANKS MAN!
Thank you for showing this you tell more better then any one i found in youtube becouse i understand what you mean but thaks for you learning every one!
It´s great that you show how to lift the bike off the ground
I actually learned, thanks Paul McCartney !
Great video... quite simple and very graphic
ya i really liked it most videos dont give that good of an explanation(highly recomended)
@InfernalViruz Its a stunt/jump mtb, its smaller at the back so the saddle can be lower
It probably helped me.
I still can't do it, but now atleast I know how to do it. Yesterday I was "jumping" around in the yard with my XC... but I finished, when I hit my knee into stem/headset... Ouchie!
the trusty stick never fails
I learn it thanks to this guy, thank you!
I use a disposable plastic water bottle. Makes a nice crunch/rolls when hit. Perhaps someday I'll be hopping 2 L soda bottles.
now i get it, tap your rear brake in mid air...(to get te rear up) ... cool vid!!!
nice rover you have there!! and quite well explained the bunny hop! thanks bro, from mx
hell ya i have a miraco 24! so this helped me alot
thanks my friend has been calling me an idiot for not being able to bunny hop
thank you for this fantastic tutorial, i watch it a lot, and finaly, i can do the bunny hop!
just keep lifting up forward then lean forward fast in the same action, once u done it once,u will never forget it, its like swiming
@peter3337 hey man, bunnyhop is possible on any bike, it's just down to proper weight shifting, the weight of the bike doesn't matter that much. cheers!
@YourGamingTeam try pushing down on your pedal to get your front wheel higher , then pushing the bars forward, thats how i learned to bunnyhop on a mtb bike
Bunny hops arent so bad, its those bunny hop bar spins or "hop whips" that does work...
you dont need special boots but some shoes are better than others. i prefer any style of vans with gum soles. they just grip onto the pins so nice for me....
i saw this 2 years ago i was looking for it now :)
this bunnyhop tutorial is better than the one given by Ryan Leech, and he's a pro trials rider.
thanks, it's a very good howto. I finally got it.
good work man! best bunny-hop video on you-tube
You just need to make a scrapping motion. Take it like you're scrapping the mud out of your shoe AND FOCUS! Maybe you'll get a bunny hop. :D Goodluck.
his bike is a Kranked Republic 24 ive got the same bike. And the bike is a hybrid of a bmx and a mountain bike. Its a sick bike.
thanks to this video and the uploader i've learned those tricks :D
you make it look easy!... today i tried and its harder then i though it would be
At first i thought it was one motion but you do like a manual then pull up and scoop with your feet on the pedals.
i have tempest 3.0 and is easy to hop---lift up front wheel angle your pedals and push forward and up on the pedals
angle your pedals almost vertically
just to let everyone know its a Jump bike. used in street park and some dirt and trials. Its a typical single speed jump bike. Looks like a very expensive one
Gosh! He makes it look so easy -.-
i need to practice this. i punctured my rear tire twice on gutters hoping that my rear tire didnt burst
Your bunnyhop is very very very very very very clean :P
I like how at 1:23 some random person walks bye with there dog LOL
Bunny hops are really cool, but they hurt your hands !
good directions nice bike
i saw this video,i go out with my bike and i did the bunny hop:),a prefect bunny hop:)
nice so stumpie (pullup) scoop (push back on pedals) then well landing
1:40 wow. he jumped right over a stick!
Hmm, i would say while pushing back on your bike with ur legs, you retract ur calf muscles. That way you can rly pick ur bike up.
