To me, this is the most important how-to I've ever made. I've been putting it off for ages waiting for a perfect opportunity, but that wasn't helping anyone. I got out of bed this morning with a mission to make the best how-to bunnyhop on TH-cam. Did I succeed? You be the judge :)
This is the first of what I hope to become a series of sequential beginner how-tos. Each week I want to have a new how-to that builds off the last one, or that is a logical trick to learn next. That way our fans who are new to bmx can learn along the way! (This does not mean less of other videos at all).
I might want to note that I don't really plan or script any of the weird random things in the video. It's more of a - this is really boring what can I grab off the kitchen table - type deal. I try to make all my how-to interesting and entertaining even if you already know how to do the trick. It's funny because I completely forgot how much I enjoy making how-tos, but this video rekindled the fire. I'm stoked!!!!
If you do already know how to bunnyhop, please give a quick read through the comments section and give ONE PERSON who has a question a helpful reply. We all know what it was like to be at that beginner stage eager to learn however possible. As easy and self explanatory as a bunny hop may be for some of us, it may be challenging enough to discourage some people from really getting into bmx. Let's help each other and keep BMX strong.
I've also enabled community contributions, which will allow you guys to add subtitles and closed captions. You don't have to, but if you speak another language and could translate it I'm sure it would be beyond helpful to some of our international viewers!
Thanks for watching!

Skylos Foxtrot u cant fail at parkour its not that hard

Parkour is youst obsticle run is easy bro

“You might be a failed skateboarder” me: I don’t want to talk about it
Ah yes a fellow maggot

I was 32 in 2019. Pandemic hit. Things locked down. Had no job but plenty of money saved thanks to my minimalistic lifestyle. Forked out $1200 for a custom bmx. Started riding after 6 years off. Today, I can do a huge array of tricks, grinds, manual for 100 yards. Refound my love for bikes again.
I still can't do a bunny hop :(
@@jerrysgotapewpew Keep trying. It helped me to get the bike up off the ground by working out my shoulders and back at the gym two days a week. give it a shot :)
based oldhead
im 34 now, just started riding after 2 decades...
@@yams_za God bless you man. Keep it up, it is such a great activity and makes you feel like a kid again! Keep that going as long as you can: life is short man. Peace ✌️
“ the bunny hop is the easiest trick” me: shiiiiiiiit I can’t even do a wheelie
lol same i cant wheelie either
I can but can’t bhop
Practice to do a manual and then paddle
I can manual but can't wheelie lmfao
Same😂😂😂
I can bunny hop but I’m just watching this 4 years later in quarantine 😂

Me too😂
Yup

Adam: 3:38 "Thats Not Gonna Happen, I promise"
Me: Tries it
Also Me: *Faceplants on the ground*
Dont let it stop you the only way to get better is by face planting on the ground 😂
Lol keep trying
Oh god I was about to try it........
@@zahrah4504 bro don't (about to try ) in bmx ur gonna get injured look up any bkx rider vids it takes multiple tries to get that perfect shot for the cam and wrecks happen . Hell look up bro bmx riders and the injuries they've sustained. If u want to get better don't be scared
Oof
When he said most of you are failed skateboarders I felt that. 😂
Damm that happened to me but I stopped because I was breaking so much skates and I couldn't afford buying one per month
Same and I don't wanna talk about it
Well ....... that’s me
Been skating for 10 years but shattered my ankle so I got a bunch of metal in it and no full movement so I bought a second hand bmx to have something else to ride and strengthen my ankle
I was a kid and I couldnt skate so I went bmx 😂😂
3:38
Adam: "I promise that's not gonna happen to you."
Me: *In the hospital*.
5:17 how did you know
On 4/4/19 was the happiest day of my life, I had a Walmart bike and when I was riding down hill fast and the chain popped off I fell off then the bike the just ate it. So as I was walking home I see this bike on the side of the road that was box, so ask a neighbor if it was anybody’s bike and he said so no and let me keep it. Right now I’m fixing it up 😃
And soo bryson started his bike stealing lifestyle
On that day, Bryson didn’t want to play Fortnite anymore, he wanted to be a thief.
Ok guys stop if you read it clearly the neighbor said that somebody did not own it and he let me keep
@@brycewantland1804 lol nice story bro lol they clearly didn't read your whole story
AlpineSpiritualist 91 yeah
Im just starting to ride again after almost 15 years. My first day in the park I kept popping both wheels at once, and not going very high. After watching this video I started practicing doing front wheel then back wheel (even just over a crack in the sidewalk) and that was the biggest help to me. By the end of todays session I was bunny hopping properly over a line of water bottles (standing upright!). It's not huge but it's big for me! Thanks for the tips!
“You’re probably a failed skater”
Me: nah bro what are you talking about 😅
Me to!!
"You're either too lazy or don't wanna find out how to do it yourself."
*Well you listen here, buckaroo. I just got my first actual BMX so I don't know how to do shit.*
Your Boi Ethan's Super Awesome Radical Unboxings. I fucking dying of laughter
Your Boi Ethan's Super Awesome Radical Unboxings. that username tho
Sharp Ha if the tire didn’t get off the ground he’s probably talking shit. The tire may had had too much air in it.
Yo just be cool no hate in this game just chill homie
5:16 I've never been so personally offended
GET OUT SKATER
I also got offended lmao, I stopped skateboarding because of a back injury tho
bruh i was searching for somone who said that 😭😂
🤣🤣🤣
Same hahahahaha xd bruh but I'm not gonna stop skating xd. I'll just have fun LoL
8 years ago...
thanks man I really appreciate this! I’ve been practicing for a few days and now I can do really high bunny hops!
My problem is that my bunny hops are actually too high. I easily clear anything I try to hop (garbage cans, 12 stairs, moving vehicles, national monuments...) riding has become stale. Is there any way to make your bunny hops lower to the ground?
+Poppa Punker put less effort in the height and power you put in the bunny hop to go so high but more in the technique that way your bunny hops will look a lot better but they're lower
hahahahahahahahahahaha
+Poppa Punker Try taking your toes and not pointing them down to the ground as much
Just keep going higher, try hopping on and off of your house.
+Poppa Punker don't shift your weight as much really. For me the height of the front tire, which pretty much dictates how high youll prob be jumping, make it not go as high as you probably do. So once the front is like a couple inches off the ground starting picking up the back. The back can only go so high before your nose diving.
,,Too lazy to learn it yourself...''
,,Failed skater...''
*I'm in this picture and i don't like it.*

Sameee
Hello there
I have the high ground
Dude your so lazy you used the high ground to win a fight pathetic
Old but Gold :D Thank your for this "How to" ! I bought my first BMX today and after ~1h i masterd to hop over the piece of wood without touching :P
The thing that he said at the end was so true this has really helped my confidence as a totally new rider and aster like 10 minutes of trying and failing I finally pulled my handle bars up really excited to keep going and learn so much more. Thanks so much 👍
After about a 1.5wks of slow progress, I got a lil bunny hop. On the way.
How is it now
@@rafifathoni635 i ain't rode on a bit, but I'm understanding how to throw my weight better so I'm not using my arms.

Try jumping objects it works start small It helps to make yourself lift higher it works for me and I can’t bunny hop too high I hurt my back on a bad landing 😞 but I love bmx 🤙
Adam, I’m 25. I’ve never bmx’d in my life. But watching your videos even your old ones are inspiring me to get into the sport.
"im just gonna use my bunny you guys can use your dog your cat" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ive never rode a bmx, first day i got on one (skipped step 3-4) and got it the third try, less than minute. This def works.
much luv
my hamster is dead because of you
How
he squished it trying to go over😂( he's joking ....hopefully)@@landon.armbrustarmbrust672

Mine too because I tried to teach him how to bunnyhop
Step 1. Buy Vans
Step 2. Buy skinny jeans
= bunny hop pro
helped so much thank you
hmm i followed those exact steps but it doesn't seem to be working? any help?
steo 3. buy a bmx?
ahhhhh right that's where I'm going wrong.
actually vans have a really good grip
I've been riding BMX for about two years and I've never been able to bunny hop mostly because no one taught me I've always just forced my bike off the ground both wheels at the same time. So thx for the vid helped so much
I didn't fail skateboarding. I failed bmx in the 90's when there were no TH-cam tutorials. LOL! I'm ready to try it again. Thanks for the tips. :)
my friend in india don't have bunny, they have an elephant... I see the problem already.
oh shit
Elephant hop
Xyrium elephants can’t jump
@[ Neas ] hahaha
Ha.....ha
Wow I'm a skateboarder and just learned how to bunny hop in 5 minutes thanks to this video. It's just like the Ollie but with body weight instead of legs.
DirtyGhettoBirds itz dat easy? Damn 😂😂😂 fuckz wit dat name tho
It really is lol fuck
I did it in under 10 tries. I just got the hang of it. Ez af.
Sup I'm from the future
@@DiegoHernandez-mi5xs oh no
Just discovering you and your videos. Coming up on 49 years old and, yeah, I can bunnyhop, but your videos are awesome and your personality is amazing!! All hail being helpful :) :) :)
Bro just want to drop a comment here. Thanks for the vid. I just got my Dirt jumper. Been hiatus for almost 14years now and this give me some good idea how to bunnyhop. Thank you so much bro. Keep up the good work. :D
I’m trying to teach my son...this is a great tutorial. Top man

ty bro i just tried bmx'ng and i have had one for 3 weeks and i already can do a bunny hop much love
This is so help full I watched the video twice and bunny hopped on my 3 rd try thank you I just recently got into bmx because of a friend
Haha you're a wizard. I am definitely a failed skateboarder
fuck off
im not a failed skateboarder im just taking a break from i know cuz my knees have gotten reallly bad from it since its suck a high impact sport. recently ive been trying to get better at bmx xuz its kinda fun
+Clay Mork nope im a failed skater
I'm a non failed skateboarder that wants to bmx and it's way harder than skateboarding lol
i kinda think its a bit easier to bmx than skateboard. but so far im only on the bunny hop so im not going to judge yet
Im starting to BMX, transferring from skating because I wanna try something new
Mr.BrandonTV dude same
I snowboard too. And have been for 6 years, but when there is no snow, I want an action sport
Mr.BrandonTV same and i think it looks cool
Mr.BrandonTV same
Mr.BrandonTV Same I like skating but I want to try Bmx
Not a failed skateboarder been there done that :-) great fun.
My kids are getting into BMX so I want to show them how liberating a free style sport can be e.g.: skateboaring, bmx, scooter, rollerblading. (yes in that order) and I will only show the first 2 :-)
This video is, imho, the most instructive and most from the beginners viewpoint... great job.
Thank you, this video helped me a lot. I was sure I couldn't do a bunny hop because of the weight of my bmx but yesterday I saw this video, today I went out and hit my first little bunny hop. Now I'll work to do it better but thank you again
4:04 instructions unclear my dog died
Sad
Oooooof for you
XD
_gran bruh momento_
Rip
I don't have a bmx bike and I really want one and I'm watching this
(Edit) I have a subrosa bike now and thanks for all the likes and replys
Max Koenig same but im buying next week
Well their really cheap at Walmart
@@oldhandsanitizer6990 and really bad
Max Koenig I started by just using Walmart bikes but they brake fast but if u go online u can find really good mongoose bikes between $130 to $170 and they are just like real bmx bikes they last forever
if you are a beginner you could probably start on a kink gap or whip those are both really good beginner bikes for their price
This was helpful thx. I’m 46 and just got my first bmx. Huge thumbs up
I know this as a prohop. I learn myself the same way but over a 2×4 price of wood. I can't actually "bunny hop" over 2 inches to save my life. But that trick you said with pointing your toes down now I can prohop or whatever over a foot high on flat ground thankyou
I’m that much of a failed skateboarder that I broke my arm doing a ollie
Running olie?
I almost did and not moving but my skate broke
Haha
dude my first day i broke my wrist on a freaking manual! 😄
Haha
I thought you were jumping over the car in the thumbnail

Fresh new to BMX racing and I need to learn bunnyhop so I can clear jumps, gonna practice thanks to your video 😁
This helped me how to bunny hop. It makes more sence now. I used to only be able to lift my front and hitting obstacles with my back tire. Thank you
Hey Adam and I just wanted to let you know that u inspired me to start biking and I just wanted to thank u for that because u cheered me up and keep up the good work have a very nice day and congrats on your engagement
Me too
+Gaven Lavers Same he inspired me to start bmxing
Omg me too :)
And yes thank you
Same here
+Gaven Lavers me to
I have been doing bhops all my life. They always felt somewhat stiff, and a little hard. My maximum height was around 85 cm. BUT holy shit, I have been holding my wrists wrong my entire life... That easy trick made it sooo much easier and more natural... Way to go Adam, cheers for the vid!
Adam: You will be able to do it in 10 minutes
Me: Been trying for over a year and have not been able to do a single bunny hop xD
skill issue
Thank you for this man, new to bmx yes after being a failed skateboarder but your video helped alot 😂
Classic aaron kyro title
+Angus Millar So true! xD
+Angus Millar hes so annoying
***** you're***
Hate when kids do that ^^^
+Angus Millar true
Do I look pro yet
Me:u look better than me on the bmx
thank you a lot! I am a 10 year old and I've been bmxing since I was 4 but I'm just now learning how to bunny hop. I can lift my front wheel up, but I've been doing it the bad way and I really needed some pointers on how to bunnyhop.
I’m 22 years old and man do I wish we had TH-cam and cellphones like this growing up☠️☠️ literally taught myself hours in the street and now these kids are literally learning under 10min🤣🤣🤣 I was a failed BMX turned skateboarder/snowboarder and now I’m trying to get back into it
you're good at explaining stuff, thank you
Brayden Nienhuser, me and you have the same name Bray-den
@@MxdzGaming yup
Brayden Nienhuser yup I know
Thank you so Much for this video, you added a lot of great tips that we’re not in other videos, I learned how to Bunnyhop an egg carton in not even like 20 minutes.
I came from a trials background and I was searching up tutorials on bunny hops so I could effectively explain it to my students but I know in trials we put about a quarter turn on the cranks while on the back wheel to get our extra high side hops so the steps for a standard american bunny hop in trials is lift front wheel turn crank to flat shift your weight forward and anywhere else at the same time if you need to do a side hop or 180
You are an amazing teacher learn't in like 10 minutes thank you so much love your channel
Thanks man much appreciated! Btw great video love the editing and funny parts lol.
Thank you!
Subbed! You have lots of helpful videos. Easy to understand and they are broken down well with some humor. Some of the best how to bmx vids I can find! :)
+Adam LZ your amazig
+Krissy Carr I agree
+Adam LZ what is your bike size
I cant lift my back wheel up. Even though u tought us how i cant.😫 and im getting frustrated
You have to picture your bike moving in a rainbow shape. When you are in the air push the bars forward and if you have enough height your bike should naturally pull the back wheel into the air following the rest of the bike through the rainbow shape. If you are just lifting the front wheel, maybe you have too much body weight forward and bending your arms, which will just make the wheel slam right back down quickly. You can also use the rubber grip on your shoes to help lift the bike with the pedals
I used my leg muscles and i tried it today but i still don't know how to combine them
Maybe you need a lighter bike
@@davidrivera6465 He should be able to do it with a heavy bike because its possible to do it with any bike. When he's older he'll buy a lighter bike and do it even better because he had to learn on whatever he had available.
@@UhtredOfBamburgh oh
I just bought a bmx! I’m excited to do this today!!!!
Found a mongoose in the trash and been watching videos on how to wheelie and bunny hop. Bikes dumb heavy but reminds me of a GT performer I had back in the day. Thanks for the tips. Hopefully I can teach my kids when I master the bunny hop.
Had my son who’s 12, watch this and now he can hop more than 12”... on day 2. Thanks a ton Adam!!
Cap
You’ve always been my favorite, I’ve been watching you since 7th grade and got me into bmx, and I I couldn’t bunny hop until I watched this video about 3 years ago and now I’m in 11th grade! It’s just so cool coming back and watching this video
thanks for doing this video.I think that it will help me.This is one of the easiest ways that i have seen yet
I learned to bunny hop about 34 years ago. I watched the video to see it explained. Good video 👍
yo dude can you help me like lifting the back of my bike?
DUDE FIRST YOU GOT ME INTO BMX WHEN I WAS 10 NOW YOU GOT ME INTO CARS!
Lmao I love the call out in the middle video saying most people anyways came from skateboarding because they failed and sure enough that describes me ha.

Lol guys, I am a mountain biker, and ik how to bunny hop and everything on a mountain bike, but then I got this amazing idea I wanted to get a BMX bike.... Hasn't worked out too well just yet. I can't do anything on a BMX yet.
My brother got into bmx after he stopped skating. I still skate but he hates skating! This looks pretty cool dude
I could only ever J hop as a kid, ten mins of practicing the front wheel followed by back wheel thing and now I’ve got the bunny hop! (Aged 40!!) thanks, I can show off to my 8 year old son now….now for the bunny hop higher video….
Very educational!!!! I can now do bunny hops because of this video!!!🔥💯
this is the best tutorial ever!Thanks for all these helpfull advices.I learned how to bunny hop in one hour
There needs to be more tutorials in this type of style. Even if you already know how to do it this is still a good video to watch
Thank you so much! I learned the bunny hop within 10 minutes😊
Can u do a dual car check yours and Nicole's?
yesss
Tri car check with the 240

Yup

+TWILIGHT GARISON me too i dont even know the basics
I'm a downhill mountain biker. I ride a 20 kilogram enduro bike. Tried a friend's BMX for the first time in my life, went for a bunny hop on my first 5 seconds on it, looped out really really hard cause I'm used to my long, heavy bike, and fell on my tailbone. 2 weeks later, still unable to ride or lift anything or do any physical activity because of pain. 10/10
Your video really helped me alot, Im still a beginner but now I can take my bunny hop higher
I have a question...
if you're doing a bunny hop and you are coming down
on which wheel do you need to land on?
the front wheel or the back? or both on the same time , or doesn't it matter???
Both wheels for style, back wheel for comfort!
Adam LZ Thankyou , good videos the're verry helpful , I'm 13 and from THE netherlands , byeee
Adam LZ I can finally do one thank you so much
it doesn't matter
Ruben Oerlemans it does not matter a lot but usually you try to land on either the back or both.
where was this video 4 years ago when I needed it??
Appreciate your work man, thank you! Learning this tomorrow.
are you and nicole gonna ride bikes down the aisle
That would be awesome if they did
ADAM NOTICE THIS COMMENT xD
Such a good idea!
That would be the best wedding haha
ADAM READ THIS MANS COMMENT!!!
i have some problems getting my back wheel up, I NEED SOMEBODY HELP!
make sure your arms are straight and you are leaning all the way back, then just push up and out
The Meme Informer ty m8
DazViktor np
DazViktor and also do punch your toes down. At first you might only be able to get it it one inch off the ground but that's fine. Keep practicing it and get comfortable and then hopping higher will get really easy
pnani lk ye dude, i have finally got the hang of it!
i love you man from youtube, and yes, i failed trying skateboarding
Hey, a bunny hop video that finally made sense. Thanks.
This is a great tutorial!
I have watched many tutorials but this is the best!
I will say this my friends!
Been on mountain bikes too long lol. Wanna bmx
LMAO!!!!!!!

Yes please thanks
I was learning today bunnyhop from your video and ut takes like 1-2 hours and i done my first bunny hop ever
I used this video and was able to learn how to bunny hop after an hour of practicing the way Adam explained
legend, this was really simple and I regained my confidence.
my biggest problem is I can't lift the handle bars high enough to be able to push forward and mack the back come up can someone please help me
Nate Shovelton same
Nate Shovelton don't be scared
NGS pull harder and lean back a little bit
try to pedal slow and bend your elbows then pull
try using s bump or something of the sort to get your bars high enough. I used the ledge going into my gararg.
i actually learned my first bunny hop from this thank you so much man i never thought i could bunny hop
the shifting my weight to my front wheel to pick my back wheel up really helped and i bunny hopped
Your so brutally honest... I love it
I literally bunny hopped in 5 minutes 😭 I didn’t know it was that easy
Black Nemo did you use these techniques
Midori Avila no tbh just ride and lift your front tire and just push forward it’s probably the simplest way to say it but I jump over benches now and it’s so fun 😂
@@VictorLopez-li3em ikr
How high
@@TheTrueSleezy tiny for me
I CANT LIFT BACK WHEEL UP GOD DAMMIT!!!
Itz Muneeb lifting the back wheel is the hardest thing to learn..but I think I can help..if you can get the front up which almost anyone can manage..sometimes it's easier to learn how to get the back wheel up by riding fast over a driveway or curb incline..because if you relax and just hold onto the bike and ride fast over the incline and put your feet level the bike will do all the work just when you jump the incline level out..meaning center your weight on the bike..once you can do that you will almost automatically subconsciously feel what you need to do..because the incline jump will cause you to lift the front and once the front is up level out your feet as your rear tire leaves the incline and push out or forward on the bars a little and your back will come up..hope this helps..
First try to lift up only your back wheel (should take a few minutes with the right technique)
Then try to lift up both your wheels at the same time.
Finally adjust the timing and do a bunny hop.
That's how I learned them
Itz Muneeb are you yousing a bmx because I tried without a bmx and I failed
Itz Muneeb sane
P.S I’m not a Bmx rider but here’s some tips 1) Maybe you don’t have a Bmx bike 2) try just lifting your back wheel up 3) Try watiching more videos on this 4) Don’t get frustrated you will lose your confidence and give up. Hope these help
lol this dude is funny and has a good on-screen personality. Good shii boiii
Very thorough explanation thank you. A quick side note. This is a j-hop or pro hop not a bunny hop. Bunny hops require both tires to come off the ground simultaneously. What you’re doing here is a j-hop or pro-hop.
lol r u joking
I'm intermediate skater going to bmx plainly cause I'm bored of skating..been skating all my life
Same path, I am 24, started skatingat 13, just picked up my first bmx and damn it is hard
It's hard until u get use to it but I don't have a bmx bike and I want one
