Roxy, your one of the only , maybe the only, you tubers that isn’t using a smaller bike . Most of the instructional videos have guys using bikes that seem small compared to the rider. On the other hand, now I can’t use the excuse why I can’t do this stuff on my full suspension cross country 29 er!
Haha 😆 yeah i used to use excuses, too 😅 But in fact, it is a matter of practicing :-)
You have such a clear and schematic way of teaching that I really can understand and create in my mind the succession of movements for that trick. Finally!! I am tring to learn this passages during this quarantene weeks and I think I am going to see this video of yours a thousand times!! The BEST video on the front wheel lift in the whole web ever!!!!
Thank you so much ☺️
thank you.
Hello again Scoiattolo - I don't know if you've seen - I know have even clearer tutorials and reveal my coaching secrets: roxybike.podia.com/front-wheel-lifts-skills-course-learn-4-techniques-to-lift-the-front-wheel-of-your-mountain-bike
Enjoy!
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I now see how to improve what I was doing wrong.
Thanks a lot, Stephen. If you’d like to work with my proven step by step drills to learn even faster, do check out my courses on www.Roxybike-Coaching.com and you can always complement your practice with personal coaching, too. Enjoy practicing 👏
this is very comprehensive. Thank you!
Thank you ever so much, Cranklin.
Best explanation on the Internet. Showing the progression of lifts is great!
Thanks! Happy to help. Progressions are essential for success - in my Coachings and online courses have more and personalized ones, too ☺️
your tuition is probably the best I have seen so far, and I have watched loads .......
Thank you SO much, Gary! I also have a patreon channel now, where I share even more expertise 😍 www.patreon.com/rideandinspire. Will upload 2-3 videos monthly there 😍 thanks again!
This video is so helpful because it breaks down the different techniques and when to use them. Many other lift/bunny hop videos seem to pick one as "the way" but as you say, doing a manual lift at low beginner speeds is not practical and there are better ways to learn.
Thanks. So happy to hear it’s helpful!
So sweet! Thank you❤️
Awesome as always Roxy!
Love your channel! Your teaching style is very intuitive and thoughtful.
Adrenaline Is Life thank you so much ☺️
2021 still looks cool Roxy

5:24 I do that but I did not know how to lift the rear but now I see how.
its a movement that pelt the body to the front in a jump. thanks Roxy 😎
very helpful video! these are things i often overlook..I'm gonna need more practice. 🤟😁
POVteer thanks! Practice makes progression 😊
So glad I found your video. Honestly I've always lifted the handlebar and I now feel so pumped to try after watching your videos! I love the way you explained this and your camera angle makes it so easy to see how you're doing it. Much prefer your video over others! Will be watching your other videos as well. MTB is soooooo fun but challenging!

Outstanding detailed yet very simply explained video tutorial. All the videos I've seen on wheel lifts have never gone into the various types of wheel lifts broken down into simple easy to understand achievable methods as you have explained. As a new mountain biker this is so very helpful. Thank you so very much ‼️❤️
So happy to hear! Thank you for your lovely comment!

good video...thank you!
Thank you for taking the time for commenting!
You're the best! Thx! Yeah, I also need the knee/shin guards.
Can truly recommend them! 😊😊
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire thanks!!! Yes, amazon... They are in my "cart". I also have impact pants. The burden is having to put the stuff on, and the restrictions, perhaps. So, I wasn't wearing them and sure enough, a *very* slight fall last weekend which my thigh is now paying for! Nothing major, but really, when will I learn. I am going to go in a tangent now, but I've always wanted to do wheelies, and am almost there, and thanks to youtube and vids like yours...truly a gift! Being in my mid 40s now, I'm really trying to play it smart. I also just bought an adv motorcycle which im also afraid of, but something keeps me going. Oh well. But your vids have inspired to get a newrer mtb, bc mine is a canondale from mid 90s. Its badass though! Anyway, have a great weekend and thx again for your vids 😊
@@bennryan2 thanks Ryan! Stay safe ☺️
Thank you for your input on this topic. I am struggling to lift the front wheel for several months without much progress.
Looking forward to what you say once you’ve followed the steps in this video. You can do it ✊👏
Great vid 👌🏽
Thanks!
I dont know exactly what it is, but this is the easiest and clearest I've seen, thanks! Subbed
Thanks so much! So happy to hear. That’s the goal of my channel 😊💞 making learning easy by applying what neuroscience and psychology find.

I have been practicing bike technic for year with inconsistent results and I have had coaching too. Since watch your fundamentals videos I finally get it thanks soo much. I tried to buy you a coffee but I do not have a credit card only Paypal. If I can use Paypal let me know how thanks.
Hi Stuart, so so happy you’ve been getting better at your skills! Whoop! Way to go 😍😍

Thank you SO much 😍🥰🥰
Hey Roxy, ne Klasse Serie! Mache weiter so, habe ein Abo da gelassen! Hoffe man sieht sich noch mal in Zukunft ;-) Ist schon zu lange her...
Thorsten Bethe danke dir 😀 ja würde mich auch freuen.
Thank you! This is so helpful. What about seat height? I never know if I should have my seat up or down.
Casey Bowman for all three of these skills I would recommend it low :-)
Hey.....travel to South India, I will buy coffee ❤️
Hehe thanks! I doubt the coffee will still be warm until I arrive 😄
Wow, just found this and subbed ... Makes logical sense! Can u pls suggest what knee pads and shin guards u r using? Can’t see them in your list?
I am using the ENDURA knee pads - all
Of them are great 😍
Happy you like my channel. Welcome :-)
Hello Roxy, very informative and well executed demonstrations. I would ask that you use a mic for you audios as it would enhance the demos. Some of the videos are difficult to hear for us older folks. It would be appreciated!
Hi Eric, Thanks for your comment!
Happy you like my content. As my channel is not monetized (the channel lives from coffee donations over www.buymeacoffee.com 🤗) I didn’t have the money for a mic back then, as I was in full lockdown which forced my business into standstill.
All my newer videos have better audio :-)
Enjoy and have fun practicing!
Very nice tutorial, Thank you. I am doing your basic skills online course. These moves are very tempting. Shall I wait before attempting them?
Also do you have recommendations about the rebound damping of the suspension to help popping the wheels up?
Hi thierry,
Wheel lifts are great to complement your Fundamentals course and I have a new wheel lifts course in my online coaching platform coming soon.
But sure, go ahead!
I recommend setting your suspension just like you’d normally ride it.
5:14 ok I will practice all of them now I see wat I did bad,
My body has to be to the front, and I carri it back like a if its a whelley.
Thanks. I am 40 and learning, I see That I could up there were I want to reach.
1:39 mmm ok yes I am doing it good.
Regarding step 1: You do need to pull on the handlebars! The front wheel won't lift itself. Just don't bend your elbows or rather don't pull with your biceps.
BTW that Jersey looks so cool.
Hi Daniel, thank you for your tip - did you listen to the instruction? For smaller FWL you are totally right - and that is what I am demonstrating first - no pull, just explode - front wheel lifts "by itself". But for higher front wheel lifts, especially if you want to go UPWARDS (like I am demonstrating) it is better to also pull and soften knees - because then you are BALANCED in your bike (centered over cranks) and therefore in the ideal location to add a classic rear wheel lift.
Thanks - yes I love my ENDURA Jerseys :-)
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire I did watch the whole video. My point is, unless you apply some force to the handlebars, the front wheel won't come off of the ground. You pull by hanging onto the handlebars and thereby transfer your body's momentum, but you DO pull on the bars. Merely loading your bike won't do anything for the front wheel.
Someone told me not to pull on the handlebars and this kept me from learning this technique for months. I was so focused on not transferring any force to the handlebars and tried just do it by loading the bike.
Daniel hi Daniel - oh thank you for clarifying.
I agree and disagree at the same time 😀
If you watch my 1st FWL then the front wheel lift is occurring without an ACTIVE pull first. As in - no need to bend your arms and perform a pulling motion. (Just as you are saying).
The handlebar will lift, because your hands are attached to the handlebars like strings. Of course, you are totally right, this being attached feels like a pull in your fingers 😊 However you are not actively pulling with your arms - yet. This comes in the next step.
So I do like to differentiate. Because without the load and explode (= extending arms and legs WITHOUT actively pulling) the pull would cancel the lift.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! These are very helpful. I totally agree that it may cause confusion.
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire That's why I wrote in my first comment "Regarding Step1... ....DON'T bend your elbows or rather DON'T pull with your biceps". :)
So I think we mean the same thing.
Thanks anyway for your effort and awesome instruction videos.
I have seen a vid that showed bike sitting on a scale with rider abord. heels up and down. when heels went down weight increased on rear wheel. And when pedaling having heels down they they said you use bigger mucel group in the back of your legs instead of shin mucel.
True!
Hallo Roxy. Coole, lehrreiche und informative Videos von Dir. Ist angedacht, diese mit Deutschen Untertiteln zu versehen? Mindestens eines gibt es ja schon. Viele Grüsse. Dani
Hi Dani! Danke für deinen Kommentar - freut mich, dass dir meine Videos gefallen. Die älteren Videos wahrscheinlich nicht, da ich seit über 1 Jahr fast alle Videos doppelt bringe (1 auf Englisch und dasselbe auf Deutsch) - daher findest du fast alle Inhalte dann nach und nach auf Deutsch. Liebe Grüße, roxy
Enjoyed your videos, great content and inspiring. I have started learning mtb skills particularly manual front wheel lift which I believe I am making progress but very slow. Wanted to progress to do bunny hop :)
Question on bike size/weight against rider’s height/weight:: Does bike size and weight matter in getting good results learning these skills? I am short 5’3” and weighs 57kgs. I am just thinking that maybe a small and light bike will be easier to play around. My bike is small trail bike but heavier than my friends Large ones. Your opinion will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for great videos.
Hi Rietschle, yes, it very much will make a difference. Great to see you working on the manual front wheel lift to bunny hop :-) in fact, height makes such a difference that we have a free course on RLC focusing on short-rider specific tips. You can access it with this link: learn.ryanleech.com/roxy plus you have a month membership for free :-)
Hi Roxy, many thanks for sending out link. I will check it out.
I am enjoying watching your other videos and I am learning a lot of important basics.
I will buy you a coffee :)
@@vilfran2002 so happy you like them! Thank you for the coffee 😍😍🥰
Roxy what kind of shin pads do you use? They look super comfortable.
They ARE super super comfortable! I wear the ENDURA shin padded socks. I can really recommend them!
Roxy's Ride & Inspire thank you Roxy
Thank you.
it looks easy, I see my self really doing it but...... I fell so heavy, I does send my uper body back but I get about 3" off the floor :/
Hi Thomas, watch the video several times, practice the steps I teach diligently and I can guarantee you, that you’ll get there. It’s all about following a structure and being persistent!
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 💙
Very helpful, thank you!i started biking 2 months ago (it was one of the nice things of the coronovirus situation) and i am trying to learn some basic tricks.the problem is that i only have an old, heavy mountain bike. Do you think thst i can do some decent practice on that or i need to buy a new one?also i am old (44) ,it matters doesn't it...?
Hi Dennis,
Great, welcome to the most amazing sport ever :-)
Before investing in a new bike, better invest in a certified skills clinic :-) the bike doesn’t really matter and neither does the age :-) it’s all about the motivation and fun!
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire thank you! !
See at 2:03 what about a bike with no suspension at all? Also what wheels are you compressing? At 2:09 I don't understand what you were trying to say about the fork. Please reply. Thanks
If you compress the bike THROUGH the feet, by applying even pressure dynamically through both feet, you will compress the bike evenly.
If you have a full-suspension bike you will compress fork, rear suspension and tires. If you have no suspension then only the tires.
It works even better with a rigid actually :-) I have a bike with no suspension, too, and the movement is the same, just the timing is faster.
Wow thank you so much! By timing do you mean straight after the compress you have to (quickly jump) back up in no suspension bike? And with suspension you compress and kind of (wait) then jump.
Parkour and Freerunning
Yes - correct! Looking forward to your progress!
Always feel free to ask :-)
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Thanks, I can do it, also can you use the classic front wheel lift for drops? Like dropping off curbs? 3-5 feet drops? And really high ones? I feel like when I do the classic front wheel lift to get over curbs or when I practise on flat ground no obstacles, it slams the front wheel down on the floor.
Parkour and Freerunning hi. No I would not suggest these front wheel lifts for drops.
The front wheel flip, is it safe? Because my mountain bike front tire clicks when I do it
LIFT*
Yes it’s safe - but please check if nothing has play, and is fixed. If the bike is not safe and things bolts are not closed, nothing is safe 😊😊
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire okay thx, maybe my bike was just new to it. Then got used to it and didn't click anymore
What kind of hub do you have on that bike because that zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sound is beautiful
Ohhhh yessss love my industry nine hubs in my NOBL wheels 😍😍😍
Yaay thanks sooo much I'll have to check it out
@@r0adrunnerwr799 you’ll get $100 discount at NOBL wheels with the code ROXYBIKECOACHING :-)
why it looks light to others but if i was lifting my front wheel, i look like a paper holding on the handle bars
Then this course will change that substantially: roxybike.podia.com/front-wheel-lifts-skills-course-learn-4-techniques-to-lift-the-front-wheel-of-your-mountain-bike
You can change it, the question is, are you ready to? 😃😊💪😍
I learned all of them but I’m still not getting the manual like I really don’t understand how to do it
What is still a mystery? Have you tried following the individual steps in this video?
What country are you in ?
Where do you ride?
I live in Mallorca and coach all over the world.
Can i get a new bike from your channel..lol jk.
Thanks 4 u video
Hehe! Thanks for your comment!
Hola has video en español por favor, eres Buena explicando pero si los haces en ingles se pierde Informacion y solo tenemos las imagen para comprender, o ponle subtitulo mi Buena Amiga
Juan manolo Monrroy Muchas Gracias Juan. Es buena razón para aprender inglés :-) Mira los vídeos varías veces y verás que todo hace sentido - por eso añado muchas fotos y vídeos para subrayar y aclarar lo que estoy hablando.
Desafortunadamente no puedo hacer todos los vídeos en varios idiomas ... pero gracias por escribir y intentaré hacer algunos.
🌞👍🚴🌷🌹🥀
My 10 yrs old bike just broke 😅😅
Sorry to hear! RIP dear Bike! 🪦
You can't do manual... Just front wheel lift
I am not showing a manual here. I am showing a manual FRONT WHEEL lift :-) that’s the title and goal of the video 😃
1:28 whaen I do that the front well comes up hahaha! 🥲😭
Wieder mal sehr lehrreich!
Wieder mal sehr lehrreich!
Sascha R. Danke sehr, Sascha :-)
