    Just learned proper bunny hops by watching what you did at 2:58 at 4x slow and regular several times. You can see that you do not lean very far back behind your seat like so many vids say to do, in fact your pull hard towards your waste with your arms which seems to provide 70% or more of the lift for the front wheel. Thank you man!

  • @lovelyjade3149

  • @tachusischus

  • @dukeofmtb

    • @SkillsWithPhil
      @SkillsWithPhil  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thank you! It's not a process that I'd be able to document (at least not easily). My train of thought is very very scattered and it takes me quite some time to sort it all out. Even when I'm done in not super satisfied with the end product. I'd give this video a 6/10. There's so much more i wanted to include but it got to the point where I had to call it good enough. I can always expand in another video.

    • @dukeofmtb
      @dukeofmtb 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, I understand. I've only made a handful of videos so far. No real plan. I just record everything and figure it out in post. The one video I actually tried planning( A Rylo360 Review) ended up like garbage(do not watch that video). Then again, that was my first video. I've yet to find a balance. You made this video seem so fluid and polished. I'm sure there was a ton of work involved. The whole "Alberta Trip" series I made must have taken me 120+ hours of sitting in front of my computer, trying to put together a story from days of footage. I imagine a similar amount of effort was poured into this tutorial. At some point, you do have to call it good enough. Of course, your good enough equals amazing. :-)
