i found an easier way to get me and my bike over a high obstacle: 1. Step off your bike 2. Grab bike wind up and spin 360 degrees and throw your bike over obstacle 3. Climb over obstacle
I really learn a lot from your videos Phil. Thank you. Keep them coming. This training format with clips of real people trying to learn a skill is very effective.
Have not seen anyone else point out bringing your chest down to the bar when compressing / preloading, and when shoving the bars forward. I'm finding that so helpful to pay attention to when working on bunny hops. Thanks Phil!
Phil, amazing high quality tutorials! Your use of editing tricks and graphics (stick figures) allows me to really visualize the entire process with great detail. Thanks for your time and effort to teach your skills to others!
Phil your demeanor is probably my favorite part of your videos. You just give off a nice guy vibe, with no ego. It's also awesome you point out your own flaws. Thanks!
I've been bmx ing for 5 years and this has by far been the best explanation of how to bunny hop I've have ever heard. Next time a little kid asks me how to I'm just going to point them in this direction
+Moose I try to. Having watched plenty of tutorial on other non bike subjects, I find a lot of people gloss over important details and just make videos to make videos.
Phil, Thank You for your skills tutorials I started mountain biking two months ago at 56 years old, your videos have made my trail riding more fun, faster and safer. I did some nice rock drops and hops over logs yesterday Thanks to You! WOW what a great feeling of accomplishment. I was riding the Emma Carlin trails in S.E. Wisconsin. Thank You so much.
Thanks Phil! I did my first proper bunny hop today with the help of this video! It felt great! I have been battling for ages with the bunny hop but I think I may have finally figured it out with your help. Thanks so much Phil!
the best video about a bunny hop I have ever seen... about all for dummies like me. Now I need to practice taking into account these tips... lets see if it works, some times I am totally desesperated
I'm learning bunny hops on bmx and Ive got to say this has got to be the most well described, clearly shown video.Even though it's not specifically bmx the diagrams are fantastic.
This is a greatest video about "how to Bunny Hop a MTB" in the whole world. Thanks, great job! Really, i can't find some better explanation to understand that jump.
I can bunnyhop on my hardtail but have a really hard time hopping my dh bike. It it possible that my slow rebound (i ride flats and love to plow through rough stuff) takes the energy out of my hop? Suspension is made to keep you in place so it probably doesnt really help when going tricks and bunny hops.
Need that video. Thanks Phil keep it up. Seem a few tutorial but when you show submitted vids of viewers and point the mistakes it really helps. I still cannot pop a manual or do a wheelie and csn only bunny hop a curb but I am just starting this years and havent practice a whole lot. But not giving up!!!
Great vid - it's really helpful to see you critique riders who are at a similar stage to me. Slo-mo, graphics showing body alignment - all REALLY helpful!
Best bunny hop tutorial I've seen so far. Showing the examples with the mistakes just perfect! I could even see myself in one of the examples and now I know how to improve :)
+Tamas Varga The hardest part of making these videos if figuring out the best way to get the viewer to notice the thing I want them to see. Very glad this worked for you!
finally a video that explains the steps of the action I was always thinking I could never bunnyhope my XC hardtail, but now I see there's a way to do that I'll try as soon as possible... thanks man
Just got a friend into mountain biking and was looking for some good channels. And then I found you, Phil. Subscribed and like. Awesome channel, man. Thanks for sharing. Mountain biking is SO much fun. Cheers mate.
You got my subscription. This was the best bunny hop video i've ever seen, and I could easily spot my mistakes as the same as the ones you lightned up in the video. Thank you Phil! Your job is done here. Cheers from Brazil.
I'm practicing the "lifting with hips" movement using a broom also lol, and I just can't believe how useful it is! Thanks Phil. I keep coming back to this video to improve the bunny hop.
#1 is exactly my mistake, and what better way to explain it than this! Now all I need to manage is to frickin' USE what I learned and that always seems to be the hardest part!
Hi Phil, thank you for this excellent video. It's already helped me get more height. The format and use of slow motion is excellent. Condolences for your recent loss this can knock you around for quite a while, I hope you are managing well and that we can see some more of your videos again soon. Cheers Scott, Brisbane Australia
+Phil Kmetz MTB Well, I primarily was focused on getting all those steps done into one single, fluid motion. But noticed -after I recorded several attempts- that my initiation (and therefore overal height) could use some work. Now I know it needs more chest lowering and more drive from my hips. Just as some of the examples in this video. So it was very helpful.
Hahaha, now I realize that I need to work on the pre-load, the hips extension and the delay between movements. Really appreciate your tutorials man!! Thanks alot Phil ;) Bunny hop seems easy, but it's definitely not!!
This was the most informative description of what to do that I have seen! Thanks you have answered a few questions I have had about trying to get more height. I am in the camp of extending my legs with my arms, apparently I am using my legs to get the front wheel up higher which is limiting my ability to get back up and explode the hips forward! Gotta go out and practice now! Thanks!
I've watch a lot of bunny hop videos and this is the most detailed explanation of how it is done with that slowmo. Thanks, but I still can't lift both wheels off the ground.
Great video. I think this helped me figure out what I have going wrong. I don't full extend my arms and lock them. I also do the arm and leg movments at the same time.
Hej Phil, like your vids. Learned the bunny hop, clean and smooth, took me abt 3 month ;) But worth every try when you success at the end! Keep on posting. THX
This is so nerdy. You make many videos about b-hop, made it out in pieces and this is really respectful! Sorry for bad english and big thanks to you for what you doing.
I knew it!!!, i thought and notice this today, with some videos but i begin to try the bunny hop since one week ago, jumping first a wheel and putting up the another one after, but when i'm verticaly it scares me xD... i can't wait for tomorrow to try again with your video on my mind, i'm 27 years old, very good video and sorry for my bad english, from Venezuela
Best video about the bunny hop I've seen so far. And I've watched a LOT of them. Still can't hop :) This video gives me hop. I mean hope. Subscribed too, of course.
U are amazing dude, for reals tho, some youtubers are just plain lazy and don't even put much efforts in there videos, but u sir, is legend, I learned how to bunny hop in just 1 week
I’ve got a problem among the rest I realised I have watching this video. So my most “annoying” problem is the landing. I simply land like I’m about to crush anything under. And I can’t find a way not to. I’d really enjoy your help :D Thanks in advance! Great videos! Keep it up! And proud to be a subscriber B|
This is super helpful!! I’ve watched so many other videos about bunny hops but your video explained it the best. I really liked how you broke it into the different parts and the the slow-motion helped a ton! Thank you!!
my god that lifting with the hips advice is great, i've been practicing all month and that is definitely my barrier i need to break through
i found an easier way to get me and my bike over a high obstacle:
1. Step off your bike
2. Grab bike wind up and spin 360 degrees and throw your bike over obstacle
3. Climb over obstacle
Linuxx 🤣😂 that’s my mum
EPIC GAME no I mean that’s what my mum does, not my mum is an operating system 🤣
Not when you got a $ 2,000 + bike LOL.
I really learn a lot from your videos Phil. Thank you. Keep them coming. This training format with clips of real people trying to learn a skill is very effective.
you are welcome, keeping people stoked on riding bikes and having fun is my goal :)
@@SkillsWithPhil goal is very much acheive but keep it up... I will record myself and compare with my own technique.
One of the best instructional videos I've reviewed on Bunny Hoping........ really breaks it down instructionally and through video pics.
Have not seen anyone else point out bringing your chest down to the bar when compressing / preloading, and when shoving the bars forward. I'm finding that so helpful to pay attention to when working on bunny hops. Thanks Phil!
Phil, amazing high quality tutorials! Your use of editing tricks and graphics (stick figures) allows me to really visualize the entire process with great detail. Thanks for your time and effort to teach your skills to others!
The way you explain things in these videos, makes this one of if not the best online tutorials. Thanks
I'm happy to hear you think so, Thank you Legolas!
Phil your demeanor is probably my favorite part of your videos. You just give off a nice guy vibe, with no ego. It's also awesome you point out your own flaws. Thanks!
I've been bmx ing for 5 years and this has by far been the best explanation of how to bunny hop I've have ever heard. Next time a little kid asks me how to I'm just going to point them in this direction

Great diagnostic video. Nice job it's the graphics and the comparison of lifting with hips vs. arms.
Great vid - it's really helpful to see you critique riders who are at a similar stage to me. Slo-mo, graphics showing body alignment - all REALLY helpful!
Phil, you are the best teacher EVER!

Thank you for uploading this, It made me go out and play all afternoon getting the initiation and timing right. Realy helpful, Thnx again!
any time, how did the tips work our for you?

the hips.... the one i forgot to focusing when doing bunny hop. thanks phil

You are a good instructor. Thanks for your time on this. Very helpful.
One of the best tutorials on TH-cam! thanks for taking the time to do this and being very thorough. subscribed.
I've watch a lot of bunny hop videos and this is the most detailed explanation of how it is done with that slowmo. Thanks, but I still can't lift both wheels off the ground.
Crazy great analysis and video production. Kick ass!
Great video. I think this helped me figure out what I have going wrong. I don't full extend my arms and lock them. I also do the arm and leg movments at the same time.
Great explanation. Most other videos on this topic are frustratingly vague, this is great.
This remains the best bunny hop tutorial ever!
Nice analysis on the hips height = bunny hop height, gotta go try this!
Awesome tutorial videos Phil. You do the best ones I've found, including Berm Peak and GMBN.
I watched all the other videos but this one helped the most!
For sure gonna use this on this street curbs
Your such a huge help! Thanks bro! - From the Philippines
I absolutely love your channel, Phil. This is a great video. Thanks for putting so much time into this.
Hey thanks man, forgot how to do this because I started riding again at 36 years old. This helped a lot.
Glad to hear that you're getting back into it and you're very welcome.
Hej Phil, like your vids. Learned the bunny hop, clean and smooth, took me abt 3 month ;) But worth every try when you success at the end! Keep on posting. THX

Excellent video. Best BH tutorial with extensive details on TH-cam.

Thanks for the advices Phil!

Awesome video! Your explanations and demos are perfect for breaking down these skills.
Very nice video. It is a subtle skill with many components and you break it down so well, and show how each component can go wrong.
Best video on the bunny hop I’ve seen as I’m trying to learn it now that I can lift the front wheel at will. Thanks for posting!
Howdy, the idea of showing real people trying stuff is great! Love the editing and explanations, will try it out as soon as possible, thanks man!
I’ve got a problem among the rest I realised I have watching this video. So my most “annoying” problem is the landing. I simply land like I’m about to crush anything under. And I can’t find a way not to. I’d really enjoy your help :D
Thanks in advance! Great videos! Keep it up! And proud to be a subscriber B|
