    How do you plan to use this to hop higher? Comment below!

    Radial distance from contact to pedals gives leverage. As you drop and pull (preload and rotate back) you compress the rear and raise your pedal contact point (crank) then using momentum and strength, and the bind of the real wheel, you can launch up-jump- from a higher position and with the extra velocity your CG will have, from all your effort, will ballistically go up. The more you power the squash and launch and time it prrfectly the more of your bodies energy will create vertical vleocity. Vertical Projectile motion physics. The hip drop and shift back (manual ) creates a moment force. The leverage is used to recover it as velocity in the up direction. Ill have to draw a diagram . Hmmm. Love the channel. There are many ways to say the same thing but you hit on key points many miss with their "patented" terminology. 👍👍

    Literally the exact way I’ve thought about bunny hopping for 28 years, I’m 40 now.

    Thanks for this one. I will try it for sure this way.

    Love the analogy with power cleaning a bar.
    I've done both bunny hopping on a bike and Olympic weight lifting classes but have never made the connection between the two.
    It's so obvious now you've pointed it out.
    Thank you. I look forward to practicing/improving my bunny hops with this concept in mind.

      yeah - what do you think about this? www.loom.com/share/a2372302e3cb43cc80b66970209e22c8?sid=1cbd0ed2-1b3f-4ed1-adce-a74318a19cba

    Best explanation EVER.

    Same way I learnt again years ago but will say upper body strength is a massive factor in pulling that front end up to a reasonable hight, ifnyour a heavier set like I was it took alot pulling force to get that front end up but the the rear just let gravity and the rebound of the suspension work its magic but always best to learn on a bmx suspension loading is like a cruch giving you that bit of ricochet spring back but can also be a good thing to set your rebound about fast onnthe front it's hard to actually explain in a comment but just something we tought ourselves many moons ago and worked great for learning on flat slower surfaces do not keep your suspension set when hitting trails this is only for a training purpose or your end up hanging from a branch 😂

    Nice body mechanics explanation ! I do struggle with manual portion, my go to is pushing the feet forward rather than throwing the hips back. Im 5 5 on a small frame enduro bike . The long chainstay and short arms and legs make it difficult to get the hips over the rear axle. Any thoughts ?

    • @mountainbikeacademy
      @mountainbikeacademy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You can actually bunny hop straight up without a manual so much. Requires some unrelated drills I can’t explain in a text reply.

    Yeh, it's all in the technique/ motion.
    I found this vid different, from others (similar topics, 'bunny hop', which also appears, in skateboarding) via:
    - the power clean reference
    - the strong reference to jumping/ popping off the ground
    - the disctinction of 'slamming the hips' into the handlebars
    - the power pop, after (the above)
    Yeh, HUMAN MOVEMENT 1st, MOUNTAIN BIKE 2nd. A good separation of the 2. We only mountain bike - when on the bike.
    Best to stay on top of the machine, i say. Knowing what you can do, on a mtb, vs what you want to do, is important.
    Never go too far, beyond present 'levelled up' skillset.
    DISCLAIMER: Don't listen to others that - strongly encourage Rash mtb attempts, it is clear, they are not very skilled riders, themselves. LOL !!!
    A mountain bike, is a machine, worth applying yourself towards, to learn all the good stuff it teaches.
    - motivation
    - courage
    - discipline
    - health aspects
    etc. etc.
    Another well presented vid. Yeh : )

    Really nice explanation. But when I bunnyhop I’m scared of tipping backwards and landing on my back. Am I exploding the front too much? Is my timing wrong? What am I doing wrong, so my bike almost does a backflip?

    Every tubers for bunny said the same thing - jump higher. Ya! How?

    • @mountainbikeacademy
      @mountainbikeacademy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      By increasing the intensity of the downward force that pushes you up. Did you watch the whole video and try anything yet?

    • @ma-kugan4998
      @ma-kugan4998 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If I can't bring up the front into the air high how am I going to bring the handle bar towards my hip. Think this is the most common difficulty with anyone who wants to hop. Do you have other video that show this technique?

    Probably shouldn’t assume you’re the only one teaching things a certain way.

    • @mountainbikeacademy
      @mountainbikeacademy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Maybe I’ll stop saying stuff like this. I’ve been through Ryan Leech, Lee McCormack, PMBI, BICP curriculums and they dont teach it this way. I’ve watched about 30 how to bunny hop videos from lesser known channels.
      All of it is good. Just nothing I’ve seen using this specific exercise off the bike.
      However I still need to find a way to be myself without sounding slightly douchy lol

      I’ve watched a ton of bunny hop vids. I can say for certain, he’s the only one teaching this… on TH-cam.

      @@whitespiritualwonderboy8077 IMO there’s about zero original ideas left. I’m definitely not the first person to discover this.
      Just having fun staking a little claim of turf lol.
      Thanks for the comment!

    Yeah, and even then it’s not necessarily the understanding but the application, right?
