Old skooler here, just getting back into 20". I used to bunnyhop picnic tables, the front of an MG miget car, and my highest was 49 inches. Been off 20" for 5 years. Can barely manual, much less bunnyhop with any fire. Mountain bikes make you lazy and weak. Late 50s and I'm still moving right, just the body is weak. Never quit riding the 20s!!
The fact that your wife gives it a shot is awesome. I raced since I was 5 or something, 42 now, but it took me 20 yrs to get my wife to race and now we do it as a family with our two kids great family sport!
im glad you mention the correlation of bunny hopping and jumping. i notice there are others putting out videos on how to jump and dont mention the importance of bunny hopping and some will even go as far as to say not to bunny hop while taking off of a jump.
These videos are excellent. My son is 11 and every kid his age wants to clear a table, but its way easier to learn when you understand and can explain the mechanics. Thanks for taking the time!
Bunny hops are the best trick ever in bmx, you need it for almost everything I've been practicing bunny hops since 2010 and they are hard. Most I have ever jumped was 50 inches
Great video with a lot of good advice but I love the love you two have for each other and how you two didn't get mad at each other especially when she falsified the snake threat which is a serious threat!! Congrats on your itty bitty
Great shout! Luckily I have an agility set for the dog that will do nicely! Also, I heard a coach say to break that manual movement when going back into 2 movements. Down, then back like an L. That changed everything for me. Thank dude! Keep it up 🔥
Great video mate & joins the dots for me along with your jumping video 👍🤟 I already have a bunny hop bar and when I get it right loading & fully standing up , catches me by surprise when it doubles my height ! So much awsome info breaking it down , with slow Mo all makes sense ! Thanks 😎
I am going to build this. I am 49, been riding (more daydreaming) for 45 years. I have always had a BMX bike. 22 years in the Marines caused a break in progression. The quality of the bikes have increased with age and income, but the riding stays a little stagnant due to phobias. Biggest phobia is my hands slipping from my grips as I pull to hop (gloves help with confidence). Another phobia is slipping off my pedals (Vans work best for this as we all know). This level set up could help though. Thanks for the video. Your family is awesome man.
You might wanna consider wearing shinpads for a while if you're worried about slipping off your pedals. I got a nasty shinner a few weeks ago practicing bunny hops.
Hi Barry, Fantastic video and fantastic teacher. If I may, someone of you guys (the pros) should teach us in a video how to move our weight (and bicycle) when jumping in a curved jump, let's say to the left, and right after the landing is in a curve that goes to the right. I am having troubles with that. Peace!
It's been my experience that when you move from flat's to clipless but haven't started clearing jumps, bad things happen. I grew up with flats and 'real' clips, there was no such thing as clipless. In the mid 90's I started to see them out at ABA tracks and within a couple of years everyone was running clipless. The thing was people would try to use the clipless system to help them jump and I saw so many people endo because they never got the basics using flats. Learn to jump on flats and when you switch over your technique will be sound. Yes there are 'this person did...' stories but on average flats are the way to learn.
I never understood. How is it that people can bunnyhop with a bike higher than they can jump w/o a bike? The logic doesn't make sense to me. Weighted vs no weight but the weighted (on bike) can jump higher? Maybe if I understood the logic better, I can maybe have a higher chance of performing. Good video.
What kind of bike is barry riding. I am very old and like it pretty much. I would like to try some things for fun. In regard of my body-size a BMX is obviously a bit small for me. I assume that some sortiert of mtb / dirtbike (I have no Idea!) would be far better for me. Maybe someone can help.

So sick dude! We are gonna have to build one this winter!

I raced over 25 years...and watched this video to the end. Good job, Slamma!
Great shout! Luckily I have an agility set for the dog that will do nicely!

I'm a midlife biker I've built a jump and a manual machine now I need a bunny hop stand !
Love these videos very clear and concise 🤘
Great video mate & joins the dots for me along with your jumping video 👍🤟
I already have a bunny hop bar and when I get it right loading & fully standing up , catches me by surprise when it doubles my height !
So much awsome info breaking it down , with slow Mo all makes sense ! Thanks 😎
Very clear, simple instruction.
So awesome to see you built it! I can't wait to come hop it! 👊🏻
Good stuff!!! Great instructions. Keep ‘em comin 👍🏻
Huge help thanks Barry.
great and easy explanation. thanks Barry

I like the way you teach Bro! I learned from it so easily. Keep it up! 👍
Good stuff man. Thanks for the advice. I had a bad crash learning to jump along time ago and it still messes with my head.

These are really helpful, ❤️ from Malaysia.
Barry is the man. Trust me.
Awesome vid.
Great vid
The goat at work 👌👌
The "Snake" was a Bonus!!! :D

Good info, thanks
Just found your channel and love the content. Definitely will be building a jump bar. I can barely jump dirt jumps. My goal is darkfest. 😆
very helpful！！！🤘
Y’all are just too cute!
You're wife is such a sport . Congrats on the little one. And maybe the jump shoes would have made a difference lol
Awesome bro
Hey barry cool video it helped alot quick question what is the music in the background??? Not the intro
New 2 u,old bmx racer..cute family..c ant bunny hop anymore but use to b really good..think I might build that
Damn I want to come ride for a day....or two!
Awesome
Whip technique please
Muito massa 😱🏁🎸✨👍👍🍀
Good for you two, I can’t teach my wife to load the dish washer much less ride a bike
More detail on arm movement might be helpful. Kind of a "C" shape. In up and push out. Rinse and repeat..
It's two years later. Have you made a track for your daughter to practice on yet?
I never understood. How is it that people can bunnyhop with a bike higher than they can jump w/o a bike? The logic doesn't make sense to me. Weighted vs no weight but the weighted (on bike) can jump higher? Maybe if I understood the logic better, I can maybe have a higher chance of performing. Good video.
Is that a single speed full suspension
Yep! I put gears in it for race season
Do you build ramps for people too?!
Frem slope nya apa?
Are you clipped into the pedals?
No. Absolutely not. I highly suggest practice jumping WITHOUT clips

This is a 26” Haro thread
@@barrynobles95 thank you very much! Nice greetings from Germany! 🙂🖐
6:13 example slo mo
can you do a how to pump
That one is actually in my to do list!
That music tho
Well looks like I'm going to home depot.
Haha nice
Do some whips. Get her a full face to protect her beautiful head.
The weight of your bike also makes a huge difference, a lighter bike will be essentially easier to lift.
She did that after just recovering from having a kid! Respect 🫡
