I have watched so many bunny hop videos. This is my new favorite. I have been taking a similar approach, and it’s inspiring to see that you look like I look in the early stages, but you end up at a place I want to get to, which gives me confidence that I am on the right path. I need to add the rest days. I’ve been pushing myself a bit too hard and my body is paying for it.
Man, the best thing about your video is to see how things actually happen, because in the vast majority of tutorials, progress happens in a matter of minutes, I mean, the guy starts with the manual then goes to the rear lift, puts the two together and by magic he's jumping two feet. Thank you.
Good to see your struggles and progress, watching the pro vids makes you think you should be getting 2ft in half an hour! Taken me a lot more than 4 days to get half as high as you, though.
Yeah I had little improvement the first few days and it feels like nothing is happening because it is so gradual. Only looking at the recordings could I tell. I had to rest a lot in between
Dude, you gave me a ‘lightbulb’ moment! I just started riding again after many years and I just can’t get the tail up like I used to. I need to practice scooping more and the ‘tuck’ to feel where I need to be on the bike when I lift up the rear. This makes me want to practice more. Thanks!
You dont suck. I recorded every training session and watched it over. That way i could compare it to what i shape I was supposed to be making, reducing the amount of training I needed to do. Maybe try recording youself and see it from another angle
@@111jkjk I started BMX ~1 week ago and hell yeah "creaky with age" but ginger tea/water (cold or hot) gave me some good results for recovery. I'm 33y. and its hard to get the muscle in the shape to feel comfortable + to repeat the propper technique . Warming up with Manual trys, esspecial trying to loop out for safty makes me feel bunny hops work better after it. Keep on rolling :)
The scoops are great! What i think its important to practice is to just raise the front hand high, to get used to max/almost max range before looping out.
I start started 1 month ago ( I ride/rode scooters many years tho) And Im just learning from 0 again honestly ;D I can hope up 3 stairs but without an obstecle Im not in control all the time, gonna practice some scoops too! Also the hand placement helped me the past week a lot dude, like, do some fakies and see how u keep ur hands, then kind of do the same when bunnyh too. It dictates the way u balance urself, i dont have probs with looping out but i do nose dive sometimes still ;D Basically(for myself) -raise front end practice -scooping practice -balance practice (hand positiong, stabilizing in the air @@111jkjk
Great video. I liked it. I’m at the same stage as you and can not seem to make the transition from pounding to smooth. My hops look/feel clunky while others are smooth as ice. Oh well, I’ll keep on practicing.
Ok so I’m 12 and I got a new BMX bike and I’ve been practicing bunny hops for a few weeks and I’m getting no air Time so can somebody tells me how to do it.
I think that it’s realy important to get the front whee off of the ground with the prelod and push L shapetechnique which you would use to start a manual, although I might be wrong because I practice on a mountain bike. If you just lifted the front wheel with a jump, you might be held back a bit with the front wheel still being on the ground and the energy used for jump would be more distributed for getting the front and back wheel off the ground, whereas if you were to use the manual preload L shape technique, the jump which follows it is used more on actually getting your body and just the rear wheel high up.
That is right. This video was a while back. Another poster suggested I practise manualing and after making the L shape it made my bunny hops a lot less effort and higher than these ones
just a tip for when your trying to jump over something try jumping before you get to the thing your gonna jump because your jumping so close to it if it was something bigger you would nose case and stack but great work keep it up
The thing that makes me get a nice bunny hop is the rear lift I do rear lift and front lift and after that I try to do a bunny hop and I successfully do it together
Bizarre d'attendre d'être sur le manche de pelle pour déclencher le mouvement . j'aurais tendance à déclencher avant d'arriver sur l'obstacle pour le survoler sans le toucher . Je vais quand même essayer de reproduire comme sur cette vidéo pour voir ce que ça peut m'apporter .
hey man, you know manual? when you will bob, try to do a little manual to lift your front tire, push your front wheel with your wrist, after that shrink your legs and have fun
@@111jkjk for a manual just make sure your arms are locked and straight when you transfer your weight over the rear axle, to control it use your knees, if your front wheel gets too high then use your knees and stand up a little. You will find the balance point eventually. Youre doing great with bunny hops, awesome job man!!
@@trinaeset thanks man! Much appreciated. I am going to eventually try the manual. It looks pretty hard but when I get time I will follow what you said and give it a go and make another video.
Your problem is the 3 day rest everyday that goes by is everyday you loose muscle memory, and for a bunny hop you don’t need days of rest I’m getting bar spins down and I try them all day everyday one day after another no days off only if your really bout it tho 👀 cus fuck rest fuck sleep that for the weak
Good for you man. Keep pushing whatever it is you are passionate about 🤙 I have not ridden the pushy since this video as I been on the motorized bike. Sleep is an important process to recover the nervous system. When new connections are made, byproducts are produced which need to be removed. That is why babies sleep so much, due to the amount of learning they do. A lack of sleep results in diminished gains and a complete lack of sleep will lead to deteriorating motor control and ultimately death if sleep is not permitted. Sleep also is a time when the body recovers alongside the activity in the brain. Without sleep, your muscles and joints will not be able to repair themselves.
Maybe you do lose something by resting a couple of days, but if I keep doing them every day I get worse. Muscles need to rest. Doesn't help being in my 40s..

🤣i am happy that my video is helpful even though the actual skill level is not high. I made it so I can see my own progression.
Thanks for this...im 42 and trying to learn this...joints hurt but ill ease my way bit by bit...
This is good..showing the real deal..reality

It is quite refreshing to see someone else's progression raw, keep it up man, i like the make shift axe ramp aswel! 😂
This dude has achieved more in four 15 minute sessions than I have in weeks of grinding this trick. Man, I suck.
You dont suck. I recorded every training session and watched it over. That way i could compare it to what i shape I was supposed to be making, reducing the amount of training I needed to do. Maybe try recording youself and see it from another angle
Pull up the bar to your waist then bend your knees and hop with the bike
Man you just gave me a lot of motivation to pursue on learning this fundamental trick, thanks! ❤️
dang, this video is more helpful to me than the other videos with talking points........... good job documenting every progression
this is me soon! Wish me good luck and keep it real
Good luck bruh you got this 💪💪💪
how the muscle joint going? mine was sore like hell 🥲
Haha yeah when I practised I couldnt do it everyday straight as my wrist joints got sore. Getting creaky with age

good shit man keep grinding at it
Good job Bro👍👍👍
This is dope I’m working on bunnyhops myself
Sweet! Really cool to see your progression and how you creatively used the axe to help with learning form. Thanks for referencing my video as well!
Thank you for doing the how to do. It helped heaps and it was fun to give it a go!
nice progress! your stamina is insane
Takes big balls to show the nasty work and reps behind the scenes. Great F'ng job!

This is awesome
I'm learning on my heavy-ass old school BMX so later I can do it on heavy and light BMX bikes
that's really cool man
The thing that makes me get a nice bunny hop is the rear lift I do rear lift and front lift and after that I try to do a bunny hop and I successfully do it together
This has helped me to split it in two
One top practice curbs and other objects that helped me a lot. And wear a helmet!!!
Tip*
Yeah you right I do need a helmet 🤣
Helmets make my head so fucking itchy though so I don’t wear them
@@lewlew5478 I agree, I had a spill, banged my head, now I don't even feel my head anymore, Who needs helmet, not you and I .....
Breaks or no breaks. Which is better for a first time BMX rider in his 40s
Mad vid bro.
Your profile pic is nuts 🤯🤩

were your shoulders sore as hell after the first day of repeated bunny hops? mine sure were! i decided to start BMX at 46. lol loving it though!!
They sure were! Never too late to have fun
try to have a "flow", when you land, shrink your legs again, if you dont do that your bike can jump and you will fall
It take times to make boundary with your bike.
I am your 200 subcriber
🤣🤣🤣you are indeed
nice bro keep it up
Thanks bro!
My wrists hurt just watching this
bro i cant get my back wheel up any tips anyone?
Lift ur weight above the front wheel and just pull it up with ur feet.
Al tirarlo muy encorbado al principio te resta mucha altura...
nice work
he manages to jump over and also hit the the axe with both tires at the same time
I changed the likes from 666 to 667

Ill try with an axe too 🥶
Mi mama hijo que le paso al palo de escoba yo nose
4 days????
I had three rest days in between. so like two weeks in time passed. But it was four days of actual riding. It wasnt that bad.
Tell met the secrete how are your rims not bent and destroyed while min dont last a month
I dont ride much and I dont do crazy stuff. 🤣
Why does your buke sound so clunky , is something loose in it. Nice wactgjng the progression thiugh . Gteat video and inspiration
nice
Why I'm I scared to jump over a thing? But I can do it without the thing
You could try purposefully running over a flat plank or stick many times until the fear of touching has gone away.
Good😊
the truck door open is giving me nightmares...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gooodd nice
to anyone who is reading this you must lean back as you pullup the scoop
Yes 100%. Im not leaning back in this video. Might need to make an update.
After 3 months of consistently riding bmx I can’t get my back wheel off the ground
Watch the how to videos where they break it up into two parts. Try focusing on lifting just the rear wheel only for a whole day
Don’t worry bro it took me six months to get my back wheel off the ground
@@polymerusthe3rd465 it’s weird because I learned fakies and fly outs before bunny hops
lods high bunnyhop you can see that when you bunnyhop you find the wood you should lods mad advance ghehehe
what??
Good,,
Supoort you 👍and me
Nice but ur form is off. Use ur body more instead. Less pulling up with the arms
Ill give that a go. Another poster told me topractise manuals too to try fix that
15 minutes i have 6 hours for training that fucking bunnyhop
Who tf needs a 3 day rest after doing 15 minutes of bunny hops???
Me
How in 4 days m8 took me way longer
4 days 3 days rest inbetween so more like two weeks in total in that video.
