@@lee_likes_bikes Hope all is well. Father God, bring peace to Lee and get him through this challenging time in his life. Thank you God for his mental toughness and focus. Bless him with a personal knowledge of you. In Jesus mighty name Amen. Love ya Lee & thanks for all the wisdom
I've been listening to Less explain the row/Anti-Row for years. And TODAY was the first time it clicked that I haven't been able to separate my pushing and pulling mechanisms in my brain. Thanks to you both. Stay rad.
Yes! Many of us have a global push command -- we push with legs and arms. For the most part, legs and arms should be operating out of phase with each other. Stay tuned for a crazy video about that.
Just got done reading Lee's book. I've been riding for 2 years and my mind is blow. Just signed up for his online courses as well. Great source of knowledge and helping me really enjoy the sport (while being safe). Thanks Lee!
When I watched these videos I can actually see myself in them and so I went out and tried to separate my push to pull mechanics and my wheel just popped right in the air. WOOP! I was completely surprised and found myself implementing the row/anti-row in the process. The key for me is getting that initial pop off the ground and was not able to do that because I was pushing my legs and the bar down at the same time. Thanks!
@@lee_likes_bikes I’ll be on the lookout, I live to watch coaching, I’m all about spotting the details at this point. It’s just fun to me anyway, noting the vocabulary/language to explain these movement patterns. Thanks for the comment 👊✊🤙
Lee, I don't think you realise how much of a compliment this actually is. If an Aussie calls you a "Top bloke" and says "I'd have a beer with you anyday" Man, that's as good as it gets!
@@davidwhite9817 just watched you videos in Ballarat! I had no idea how good a trail system there was in black hill! I'm in Geelong so I will have to check out Ballarat now! Great riding by the way mate!
Love ya Lee! Thanks for all the wisdom! you & Alex are sharing. I'm looking at getting my 1st Dirt jumper coming from a road bike. I've been binge watching yours & Alex's over 40 series (I'm 50).
What a brilliant coaching session. I'm loving this technique, although I'm still learning it the old fashioned way. Lee's way looks much better and would definitely be a safer, more realistic option on the trail, However one bonus of learning the old fashioned way is that I've suddenly learned how to pop up easily into a manual, which I hadn't previously been able to do after a year of trying to learn it. Go figure!
Man this and Joy of Bike are the two biggest finds for me on TH-cam. Looks like I'm rowing kettlebells from the hinge for the foreseeable future to get my strength and stamina up.
Just started to learn the bunny hop the old way with leaning back as I read in your book. Glad there is a easier way to hop by standing in the middle of the bike. Why there aren't such talented mtb teachers in Germany!? :P
I stand taller when I bring the bars to my hips, pretty much like standing straight and get waaaaaaaay more air. Self taught though. Also from following and watching crazy good riding homeboys.
LEEEE! nice job! So excited to see this! Amazing learning tool for us mere newbies! Thank you for sharing - both you and student! GREAT lessons! I'm looking forward to trying the exercise I just learned!
I gotta say , the bike moving around the BB is true on the pump track and general riding , but for bunny hops I feel it's on the rear axle , because when I pull the way you describe i feel so much weight on my pedals 🙇♂️
@@lee_likes_bikes Thank you for the info. I’m a 50yr old returning mt biker and find the wide bars are killing my joints. I really don’t give a f*ck what anyone says about bar ends. Keep the excellent content coming Lee!!
@Lee McCormack. Helpful stuff. When I do row anti row hinges off the bike, I am goofy foot. Same for surfing and (bad) skateboarding. However I get on the bike and I notice I tend to be right foot back. Thoughts? Thanks.
@@lee_likes_bikes my other have is always telling me to think before I say anything. She says I have a strange sense of humour. Apologies if I’ve offended.
@@TheAsbrooks No problem man. This is where I am right now. Still paying for the big house on the mountain but living in my friend's basement. I am grateful.
Pull with your back. Way bigger muscles and they are over the center. Absolute no reason to use those small muscles. Everybody learn how to do proper pull ups and start knocking them out. I guarantee you will become a lot stronger of a rider. And that muscle will protect you when you wipe out.
Not the way "they" teach it, no. The way we do hops, the preload is part of the baby dolphin heavy/light row/anti-row cycle. Learn all the goodies, with complete explanations and a tidy system, at www.llbmtb.com Enjoy a free month with the code FREETRIAL.
Most people overdo that hip extension, and it messes up their hops. If you need MAX pop that's the way to go, but it's not necessary for most hops, and it slows down learning (for most folks). These days we go there once the basics are wired in.

Do the bunny hop! Hilarious old music! Thanks for debunking old myths about HOPS!!!

Nice!
I enjoy Lee’s content so much I watch them on the TV with my wife. Even she’s into the stoke.
@@gte717v it's exactly how I learn things. The philosophy that's provided with everything makes me understand things on a deeper level.
Nice. I've been using bands anchored low in front of me.
Excellent, headed outside now!
Very helpful Lee! Can’t wait to try it out

You are welcome!!
"Making babies."...and I don't think I'll ever get that out of my mind when thinking about bunny hops...and vice versa.
Ha!
Passionate....im a fan amigo
Thank you sir!!
Wow, super quick progress
Good Stuff, this works well.
Great stuff from the Kung Fu Master Lee
Thank you!!
Where’s Alex Bokusky? Trying to see his videos and you?
Very nice!
Hi Lee, great content love joy of bike too... quick question what do you mean by “tune out the pre push?”... thanks!
Try not to pre-push any more.
I gotta say , the bike moving around the BB is true on the pump track and general riding , but for bunny hops I feel it's on the rear axle , because when I pull the way you describe i feel so much weight on my pedals 🙇♂️
Between us, you're right. But the BB concept helps people learn -- and it's an important constant.
@@lee_likes_bikes "Between us..."
Nobody saw nuttin!

Nice bike. What band and model is that?
why not stand up straight after the initial pop and row the bars into your hips? it looks like he’s staying in the hinged position

Try & not to get the pop by compressing the fork.
