I just started and I rode for at least a couple hours 3 days in a row. My whole body hurt for 2 days. So yeah people says "you don't need strength." I don't think that's entirely true. You still gotta be fit enough.
wtf, this low key a blessing. I just bought a bike today, taught my self how to do a weak bunny hop. This was great, tomorrow practice all day with the new tips. Thanks Alfredo.
quick tip: if you don't know what foot you want to have forward, just imagine sliding on ice with your feet :^) that's what I learned on longboarding and it helped me
Alfredo you make me happy to be old...I'll be 31 next week started riding at age 7 and when my counterparts at work and in social groups ask me what I like to do.... I tell them bikes and they assume road cycling however I quickly clarify BMX and they look at me like I'm crazy... I guess not many insurance agents ride bmx but it's my thang bruh. Old dude BMX for life !!!!
I really like this tutorial because I feel like a lot of bunny hop tutorials, they don’t give a good description on how to lift up your back tire. Great job man
This is the best video I have seen properly teaching bunny hop. It was not like most of the videos where they pretend to teach you bunny hop at one go.
This is the first video I see where the function and motion of the feet are properly explained. I had a feeling it was gonna be like that, so it's cool to see that affirmed. Thanks man, good job!
Alf I went into my dad's garage last week and dug my old BMX out from when I was like 15 ( I'm 28 now ) thanks for the inspiration and showing me it can be done in all your videos. later bro
I used to ride when i was a kid and taught myself a weak hop. Lately I've been watching BMX how-to videos and found your explanations to be one of the best! I'm considering getting back into it but I think 36 might be too old to be learning all over again lol
Yo yo. Your are def right with the practice hopping over something. It gives you the visuals you need to get the concept much easier and quicker. Rather than just hopping in th air with nothing under you. Also get strong with your grip strength and upper body and the most important thing to do before doing ANY tricks is to stretch out. Not fun when ya pull something and then riding isn't as fun. Peace out my dude. ✌️.
You are maybe the only BMX how to bunnyhop tutorial mention using feet to help with a bunnyhop, this technique helped me gain another couple inches of lift, thanks
This video is great. I can already bunny hop but have a 2017 goal of being able to bunny hop onto a public park table. I want to hop higher. The flick of the wrist and foot scooping technique is something I haven't seen in other bunny hop videos so this helps. I'm going to practice the heck out of this . Thanks Alfredo!
I'm glad you did this now because my bhops are horrendous. they use to be okay-ish but once i learned 180s i stopped hopping as much and i can't hop as high anymore. So, thank you Alf!
I love seeing all of you saying that you're going to go out and try it now or that you're trying it already. i believe in all of you, it's a tough process but very rewarding
so freaking cold in Seattle right now. i hit the gym then went out for 30 minutes practicing bunny hops. I actually got it down, baby hops. I'm trying to get a good hobby going to stay in shape. I feel like I'm to big for skateboarding these days, I'm very rusty.
Man I wish you would do all the how too’s nothing against begin or any of the other homies but you just explain it so good. This video just changed my hop game , now I get enough air to bar !!!!!!!
This is probably the best tutorial I have watched on bunny hopping congratulations you did a fantastic job explaining it. I think my bike maybe a little heavy but I might just be nervous and whatever who knows.
Been up all night watching your videos, great stuff. Really makes me want to start riding a bmx bike again. Being 6 foot 215lbs just not sure I would fit one anymore.
Nice man, I pick up some aspect of every trick regardless of how good I think I am at it. The best how-to's hands down! You da man ALF. Keep spreadin that BMX knowledge
This tutorial helped me, I use to only be able to lift the front wheel up but the back wheel i could only lift up a few mm but now i can do pretty good bunny hops cheers bro
u are the best teacher! some guys teach a lil bit then more to show how good there do and how higher there can do 😂.. thanks bro now im going to ride n try to practise !
Really nice video as always Alf! One thing to mention is that the audio balance of this video is far off to the left (happens in more of your vids), you could either change the balance or switch to mono since its voice only. Keep up the good work man, we watching you in Europe!
Idk if you will see this but been trying bunny hops for 2 years never could get em but after watching the video and demonstration at 0:24 learned one in 10 mins bro I really appreciate it's amazing how easy something so difficult for me is
Breaking it down into parts helped loads. Using things like drink cans to jump over helps a lot. It occurred to me that I've been doing bunny hops long before I ever rode a BMX. If I come to a curb I want to get up I have always lifted the front wheel then the rear. I never consciously thought about it, I used to just want to avoid buckled wheels. How to get the back end of a bike up is really hard to explain.
when you bunnyhop once you pull up, within that moment when your front wheel is in the air, have both your hands push forward as if your double punching. thats when the rear wheel will lift up, it works
hey bro.. should i wait until my bars get high or i should quickly hop my back wheel as my front tire is not that going high yet.. is it two motion or one? tnx
I keep centered and lean forward and pull back and get the front up Fine. But when I try and pull the Back Tire up I fail and the tire doesn’t even come off the ground. Any Tips??🙁
I have done bunny hops with the wrong motions and now I have a habit to doing it the wrong way while it still is a bunny hop it won’t let me get any higher than 20 inches any tips on how to relearn the right way?
I used to ride a s&m holmes back in the day,2000ish era. I've rode since I was teeny tiny. Stopped riding as I got older. I'm now 36. I just got a used 2017 kink gap Xl. It's been roughly 17,18 yrs since I rode. Took a few days to get used to doing a Manuel again and bunny hops I'm still trying to get comfortable doing again. I can do them but sometimes I yank too hard without bringing the back up fast enough and end up landing very vertical and needing to jump off the back. I think the biggest thing I'm dealing with now is simply fear of falling. As a kid, were fearless, now I'm afraid of breaking a bone or injuring myself,lol.
I just recently like two days ago started learning and I can get a little off the ground but I feel like I’m impatient and don’t wait to get the front wheel high enough before I pick up the back so I guess it’s kinda all one motion. I thought learning manuals would help but I can’t seem to keep the front wheel from going back down right away. I even tried looping out on purpose to get a better feel of where the balance point is but nothing seems to work. I also have shitty balance I suppose. Any advice?
great vid fredo!!! I got it!!! but im having hard time with my manual aand ive been trying for 2 summers this will be 3 summers coming up....live ib Pgh. PA....i can get maybe 2...3 parking spots but just cant get that balance! any pointers???
thanks for the advices. I am very new to BMX. I broke my wrist my first day of skateboarding, and when i first tried bunny hops like 18 months later, i noticed my wrists hurt a lot. But after a week the right one's pain went off but not the left one which is the one i injured, and now it's not healing again. I didn't know bunny hops would hurt your wrists. Could you teach or tell us how not to hurt your wrists when landing bmx tricks please? thank you
yo alfredo,I tried everything you said.I can to the pull up and the rear pull up but im struggling to do the bunny hop,but I think my bike is to heavy.I have the new Mongoose Legion L40 bmx.
I commented this on Adam Lz's video on bunny hops, but I'll post it here as well. Here's tip guys: Film yourself doing a bunny op(or any trick really). Have a look at what you are doing throughout the stages of the trick, and compare and contrast it to what Alfredo is doing. Are you pointing your toes? Pulling your knees up? Whatever it might be, it's helped me pick up on what I'm actually doing and not what I THINK I'm doing. Then to focus and fix things! To be honest, it's actually really helped me know were I'm going wrong on my bunny hops. Let me know what you think? Hope this helped:).
For my first 2 months riding pretty much all I did was bunny hop. You kinda learn how you want to do it your style, and one you get it you can go super high
I really want to go to the skatepark to practice but I feel like around my area so many people judge so it makes me uncomfortable/:
Juan Ruiz who gives a fuck what they think do whatever makes you happy
TheWehttam97123 thanks bro ✊🏼
just do your thing man!!
Same dude...
Juan Ruiz the key to success is only care about your self and not let others opinions affect you
I also think working out and getting in shape helps a lot with doing tricks.
I just started and I rode for at least a couple hours 3 days in a row. My whole body hurt for 2 days. So yeah people says "you don't need strength." I don't think that's entirely true. You still gotta be fit enough.
I've watched like 15 videos of how to bunny hop and your the only one who actually helped me, Thx
wtf, this low key a blessing. I just bought a bike today, taught my self how to do a weak bunny hop. This was great, tomorrow practice all day with the new tips. Thanks Alfredo.
Unique Amigo it’s been 11 months, did you learn it? (God bless)
It’s been 1 year did u learn it ?
Its almost 2 years have you learned?
Golden gamer75 he wuit
It’s been 3 years, did you learn it?
I've been trying to teach my 10 year old nephew how to bunnyhop and I've discovered I'm a shit teacher. I'll definitely be showing him this video.
I'm hoping if I can get him bunny hopping it'll keep him off a scooter.
Nicisgod lmao ahahahahahahahhaah
Not all heroes wear capes. It's for his own good.
Nicisgod scootering helped me learn to bunny hop on a bike
quick tip:
if you don't know what foot you want to have forward, just imagine sliding on ice with your feet :^) that's what I learned on longboarding and it helped me
Alfredo you make me happy to be old...I'll be 31 next week started riding at age 7 and when my counterparts at work and in social groups ask me what I like to do....

Love to hear that Scott! Wear your BMX pride with honor man, we're out here doing everyday and so can you! Much love!
I really like this tutorial because I feel like a lot of bunny hop tutorials, they don’t give a good description on how to lift up your back tire. Great job man
Thank you! Hope it helps :))

This is the first video I see where the function and motion of the feet are properly explained. I had a feeling it was gonna be like that, so it's cool to see that affirmed. Thanks man, good job!
This is great! Maybe the best explaining I have seen. Very few people talking about the importance of the wrist.
Thank you for the kind words :)
Alf I went into my dad's garage last week and dug my old BMX out from when I was like 15 ( I'm 28 now ) thanks for the inspiration and showing me it can be done in all your videos. later bro
Haha, I learned how to hop with Adam lzs video, now I can hop 3 feet. I like that you made this video!
the LZ how to's are really good!
Simon Lanes same dude
I subscribe to him
Even though I know how to bunny hop I am still going to watch it #ALFGANG
Your like the only person on TH-cam who talked about the wrist motion in a bunny hop how-to, it's about time someone actually said it
I used to ride when i was a kid and taught myself a weak hop. Lately I've been watching BMX how-to videos and found your explanations to be one of the best!
I'm considering getting back into it but I think 36 might be too old to be learning all over again lol
Maybe if a get in early Alf will notice me. Love the vids man, always keen for Tuesday
Hahaa I notice all you guys my dude!+TheOnlyEnclave
This has got to be the best tutorial I have ever seen, so in depth!
I need help! Its like impossible for me to lift the back Wheeling up, and for him its so easy
This video helped me picture what to do with the sheer amount of detail on how to do a bunny hop like I can see myself doing it now just gotta try it
sick video dude, never stop doing these man, youve came in clutch like 3 times already lol :D
Yo yo. Your are def right with the practice hopping over something. It gives you the visuals you need to get the concept much easier and quicker. Rather than just hopping in th air with nothing under you.
Also get strong with your grip strength and upper body and the most important thing to do before doing ANY tricks is to stretch out. Not fun when ya pull something and then riding isn't as fun.

I love seeing all of you saying that you're going to go out and try it now or that you're trying it already. i believe in all of you, it's a tough process but very rewarding
For me the best tutorial in TH-cam on how to bunnyhop.
so freaking cold in Seattle right now. i hit the gym then went out for 30 minutes practicing bunny hops. I actually got it down, baby hops. I'm trying to get a good hobby going to stay in shape. I feel like I'm to big for skateboarding these days, I'm very rusty.
No skateboarding is for all ages

BEST FUCKEN VIDEO EVER INVENTED I LEARNED HOW TO BUNNY HOP IN 30 mins

Danm... I can even lift the back wheel
Jolento i cant lift the back either
This video is old but it's Soo good I'm new to riding and this video just helped me get the manual and bunny hop lol he explains with so much detail
I think learning to hop on a scooter helps because it is Easier to learn but it gives you an idea as to how you are supposed to do it
Been up all night watching your videos, great stuff. Really makes me want to start riding a bmx bike again. Being 6 foot 215lbs just not sure I would fit one anymore.
Best bunny 🐰hop tutorial ever Alfredo!!! Keep the awesome work going 👌
The best how-to's on TH-cam! Keep it up Alf.
Thanks so much :)
Nice man, I pick up some aspect of every trick regardless of how good I think I am at it. The best how-to's hands down! You da man ALF. Keep spreadin that BMX knowledge
Hey I learned the bunny hop thanks so dam much I feel like a badass now hopping up curbs in the streets 😂😂
This tutorial helped me, I use to only be able to lift the front wheel up but the back wheel i could only lift up a few mm but now i can do pretty good bunny hops cheers bro

Hey Alfredo, I really appreciate the tutorials and Vlogs! Helps me resist the urge to bike while nursing my concussion!
I'm 36 years old I'm hope to be 37 next month, it's never too late to start some really cool shit! This is a really cool how to!
Really nice video as always Alf! One thing to mention is that the audio balance of this video is far off to the left (happens in more of your vids), you could either change the balance or switch to mono since its voice only. Keep up the good work man, we watching you in Europe!
Idk if you will see this but been trying bunny hops for 2 years never could get em but after watching the video and demonstration at 0:24 learned one in 10 mins bro I really appreciate it's amazing how easy something so difficult for me is
I always try to do everything at once, so I can only hop about 6" lol. This was a great video and now I know what I need to work on. Thanks bro!!!!
Breaking it down into parts helped loads. Using things like drink cans to jump over helps a lot. It occurred to me that I've been doing bunny hops long before I ever rode a BMX.

Sam TS damn that helps alot thxs

Best video I've seen on bunny hopping.
this is exactly what I've been waiting for. Thanks Alfredo
Waiting for this tutorial from you for months! Thanks man!
good stuff man, definitely the best tutorial out there
hey bro.. should i wait until my bars get high or i should quickly hop my back wheel as my front tire is not that going high yet.. is it two motion or one? tnx
good job explaining the bunny hop man. it's kinda hard to explain when it's so second nature to people that have been riding for years
this video will probably help a lot of people. great content keep it up
I keep centered and lean forward and pull back and get the front up Fine. But when I try and pull the Back Tire up I fail and the tire doesn’t even come off the ground. Any Tips??🙁
dude this vid was awesome you were the first tutorial to tell me to curl my wrists to get the back end up
I have done bunny hops with the wrong motions and now I have a habit to doing it the wrong way while it still is a bunny hop it won’t let me get any higher than 20 inches any tips on how to relearn the right way?

I think the biggest thing I'm dealing with now is simply fear of falling. As a kid, were fearless, now I'm afraid of breaking a bone or injuring myself,lol.
Very true, but if you follow the proper technique, you can mitigate the probability of falling to a negligible amount :)

new oss gear looks sick alf
This will help me a lot, thx for sharing the knowledge Alfredo!
thanks for the advices.
I am very new to BMX.
I broke my wrist my first day of skateboarding, and when i first tried bunny hops like 18 months later, i noticed my wrists hurt a lot. But after a week the right one's pain went off but not the left one which is the one i injured, and now it's not healing again.
I didn't know bunny hops would hurt your wrists.
Could you teach or tell us how not to hurt your wrists when landing bmx tricks please? thank you
I am still strugleing to get the back wheel off the ground do you have any more tips
notification let me down, wtf!! nice how to Alf, very shwifty!
So I just started not to long ago but question is does height of the bunny hop come right away or do you get the height as you progress??
This tutorial really helped me out a lot! I was having trouble but not anymore! Thanks
Hey alferdo, have you ever made bmx videos with spencer foresman?
never though about the weight shift physics of it before. il be sure to keep that in mind!
#alfgang
you the dude
Yo Alfredo. I was looking into getting an OSS shirt but everything is sold out. You know when stuff is coming back into stock?
Try again! All the clothes at the top of the onsomeshit.com site has everything in stock!
for ur nxt tech video could you go over the difference between male and female axles ?
I always get asked about it
yo alfredo,I tried everything you said.I can to the pull up and the rear pull up but im struggling to do the bunny hop,but I think my bike is to heavy.I have the new Mongoose Legion L40 bmx.
Joshua Dumzela i have the same issue but more of my bike being to big
Does it matter about the weight of the bike or the grips
Aye alfredo you do a good job to teach people how to do tricks especially this one 💯
I commented this on Adam Lz's video on bunny hops, but I'll post it here as well.
Here's tip guys: Film yourself doing a bunny op(or any trick really).
Have a look at what you are doing throughout the stages of the trick, and compare and contrast it to what Alfredo is doing.
Are you pointing your toes?
Pulling your knees up?
Whatever it might be, it's helped me pick up on what I'm actually doing and not what I THINK I'm doing.
Then to focus and fix things!
To be honest, it's actually really helped me know were I'm going wrong on my bunny hops.
Let me know what you think?
Hope this helped:).
Great description and method! Thanks for this!
couple more ideas.. jumping a dirt jump, dropping into a quarter pipe, handrails
Your video helped me learn to do a bunnyhop and Adam lz's video helped me to hop higher, so thank u realy much
thanks so much for the thorough video!!
You're welcome Andrew, hope it helps you guys out!
Alfredo Mancuso It helped me but it's hard for me to do it and get feedback,it's like I need someone there with me to teach me in person lol
great how too. would love to see some tech about different bike lights
when do you use your knees and spring up? I was curious
Basically at the point that you start to lean back to initiate the hop +Doc Bud
Alfredo Mancuso thank you, ill try it out first thing in the morning
Hey Alfredo i got a fit bike try bunny hopping the way u said it works thanks bro
Could you make a video of which skate parks are bike friendly in LA.
Thanks
socalskateparks.com they tell you which allow bikes!
Can you make a video on how to bunny hop and land in a manual?
just land with you arms and legs in a manual position, so lean back with your arms locked and push your legs out straight to get the front wheel up
I love bunnies so I loved that intro man
this video was definitely electrifying... muahaha
Chris Meacham punny...
lol
What seat is on that bike? And is it pivotal?
is that substation SoCal edisons or LADWP
Mill respetos alfredo!!
Gracias por el consejo
THANK YOU ALFREDO YOU ROCK
i think its always a good idea if you are learning a new trick
For my first 2 months riding pretty much all I did was bunny hop. You kinda learn how you want to do it your style, and one you get it you can go super high
"hopefully that doesent look too wrong" im dead😂😆
very insightful going to put these methods to use thanks!
7:44 wear a helmet just incase, you never know what might happen *while he isn't*
