Everyone knows it's easier to bunnyhop on a bike you don't have

[@RiderBlitz1.0]

Wth😂😂😂

Yes... especially on those ultra expensive carbon ones😁😁

[@benjaminhuberty5888]

I don't mean to brag, but I can get the front wheel off the ground almost every attempt 😁 andddd that's about it.

[@notsupr7721]

Oh yeah, well I can front flip it to my face on flat.

[@minifireball1170]

@@notsupr7721 Dang bro how did you learn that one? I’ve been practicing for ages but I can’t seem to stick the landing with my face

[@luminousfractal420]

after you set into your little compression and lift up..its just pushing the bike forward while taking the weight of your feet, the rear end will follow naturally, you dont really have to do anything else.

[@fanclubcgm4861]

WOW😮

Duuude the trampoline makes it so intuitive! Awesome!

[@LittMTB]

Love that you are back to teaching skills!

[@sapinva]

More please.

[@Bruhmatty]

I mean he's called Skills with Phil for a reason

[@TheCaptainsCog]

Genius!!! Great way to demonstrate the "preload" needed to hop a full suspension.

[@MitchzPlayground]

This is a skill a lot of us take for granted. Try and teach someone who has never done one before, then you'll appreciate its value.

[@gkrefft]

Saw the bunny hop tutorial literally yesterday and wondered about the mentioned difference to the hardtail. Thanks a lot!

[@matthewcoffin7292]

Wow I have a background in bmx and recently got a dh bike (I ride at highland and thunder) and I could hop but not great and that trampoline analogy was absolutely terrific thanks

[@SkillsWithPhil]

Thanks Mathew, glad the analogy landed. Maybe we'll cross paths at highland, cheers.

[@jothamoliver3918]

I love these short vids, Phil. Well done.

[@billysbikes8671]

maybe he could collect all the short vids and put them together to make a decent watchable youtube video! please stop this trend of turning youtube into tiktok or intagram!

[@karljuan8908]

I love Phil 😻

[@tylerstevenson6404]

I’ve been looking for a simple video like this. Yea, I can bunny hop on my hardtail, but there’s still too much arm involved I feel. And this made it so clear! Thanks Phil!!

[@rick4677]

i feel like it’s easier to learn to bunny hop on full sus but when you’re good you can go higher on a hardtail

[@Livinthelife5116]

Dude, you literally just helped me do my first bunny hop, Thank you!!!

[@SkillsWithPhil]

That is awesome, I'm glad to hear that :)

[@sk8deadphil]

This is such an eloquent way to express this!!! Rad!

[@jamessigler1004]

I have been bad at bunny hopping on my full suspension for years. You just fixed my problem in one minute! Thanks Phil! Love the content!

[@uattias]

Yo thanks man!
I had no idea on how to jump on flat ground with a hard tail.
This helped a lot!

[@alphafpsttv7768]

Great explanation 🤘🏼

[@drewziraldo5407]

That was an amazing comparison Phil. Love it!

[@DavidMaruca_]

these shorts are pretty cool! thanks for the uploads!

[@andrewpm2]

Awesome analogy. I've been trying to teach my son how to bunnyhop higher but could never quite explain it to him how to do it. I'm sure this will help him

[@captjerski4165]

straight to the point Phil, good job

[@dplayz555]

I learned to bunny hop on a full suspension bike tho

[@illuminatifatman5480]

Easily the best MTB youtuber

[@shitfaced1337]

this is how you tutorial. 1 min videos for the win!

[@omfgiwantausername21]

I've missed your tutorials - that's what drew me to your channel years ago

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

The bunny hop has finally clicked🤙 you sir, explain it weller then most..😁

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

This is awesome!

[@Eduardo1007]

Just discovered the channel and can't wait until morning to try out some of these tips. Thanks!

[@nickel3223]

Your the only reason I can bunny hop onto a bench ngl

[@rachbonifacio]

That was so helpful. Thanks!!

[@i8nm3gp]

playing around with the lockout switch will give you an advantage on a course.

[@adolfomoralesrivera7184]

The explanation with the trampoline was brilliant!

[@andrewferguson9823]

Good one. I have never thought of it this way

[@bostidsen5071]

This video is awesome. That’s probably the best explanation of bunny hopping I’ve ever heard

[@felixfam0481]

Thats what I thought, I find it alot harder to bunny hop a hardtail as high as a full suspension and it makes perfect sense, a bunny hopping a full suspension is like jumping on a trampoline, while a hardtail is like jumping off the ground normally

[@bear2959]

What? There’s no way! I bunny hop waaay higher on my buddies hardtail and on my personal BMX I can bunny hop real high too! My full squish? Yeah right lol

[@felixfam0481]

@@bear2959 most people think im crazy for that but I bunny hop significantly higher on my full squish than my hardtail 😂

[@adamweb]

Whoa, you mean it's possible to explain something well in 1 minute instead of 1 hour (with 50 minutes of ads) ??? :)

[@davinreeves]

Thanks for playing bikes with me today! I love that.

[@CarsPaint]

Omg you make it look so easy 🤣 I've almost lost my balls so many times trying this 🥲 but I'll be sure to keep trying , glad I just found this channel so you can teach me 😅🙌

[@west.lloyd.official]

I have known this for a while now but it was super cool to see it explained to this way!🤘

What a great analogy, thanks for the tip!

Love the shorts

[@AaronCurtin]

Great video!

[@MichaelRei99]

Thanks for the knowledge Captain Phil!!

[@Fenris1on1]

All the summers on the Snowboard on the trampoline in the 80s made the switch so easy 4 me in the 90s,, 😊

[@someoneelse1904]

Fantastic tutorial, Phil 👍🏼

[@raheemgahelable]

Gold as always! Phil!

[@ChuckNorris-wp7cc]

He’s back!!

[@i8nm3gp]

The full susser absorbs that hops. Got to lockout the switch

[@Jay_radd]

If you have the rebound set to be fast, it will return a lot of that energy and you can actually get loads of pop out of it

[@angush2040]

Love the short shorts

[@paulwintermute1495]

This is huge! Can't believe I never seen this before.

[@GWizzYT]

Thx that makes alot more sense thx for helping us

[@maxdesancha6025]

Dear Phil, is there any chance on the horizon that we might get to see you shred it - on a gravel or cyclocross bike?

[@stevenmora971]

I like your bikes😍, Gt!!!!

[@ChronoCard]

You should definitely do a series called 60-second skills.

[@charleysweet]

well put!

[@midkort]

Clear explanation. Thank you!

[@danshilling4240]

I can Bunny Hop a BMX bike just fine but when it comes to a mountain bike I can only get the front end lifted up

Holy S!!! This might actually help me. I can decently hop on a bmx or my DJ mtb, but my Enduro I struggle to do hop or manual well. Never thought of it this way!

[@samuelkinsey-turner7688]

Very well explained

[@joesanger0]

How has the wait reduction effected your riding Phil? Hope your brake hack worked !!

[@epic_cj3856]

thanks phil 🙏

[@benlikebike]

Its easy to use the full squish concept on a hardtail or a fully rigid bike if you have plus size tires and run low pressure. Its just the same but a little less give and spring back

[@benlikebike]

Requires an actual ramp and lip to work yo the best extent. Flat ground is waaaaay muted

[@gabriel7242]

Bro is preaching the truth

[@Neopaintballofficial]

Now make a video about the advantages of full Suspenion

[@mohammedlabeeb]

I was very distracted by how handsome he is.

[@clocktower8634]

nice one phil never thought of it like a trampoline nice

[@Ducky0734]

Full suspension is beter because you don’t have to really use that much force to jump the with a hardtail-for people who don’t understand 😅

[@themtbproject1422]

Please do one about cornering 🙏

[@1970pizza]

I wish I had known this information 40 yrs ago when I had my mountain bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gunshipanropace2gunshipand119]

He is so good at it wish i could bunnyhop too

[@miraclemansgarage5647]

The drop technique works with both and u can get bigger hops on a hard tail if u do!

[@sodagembirajos]

Very hard work

[@andrewd7860]

Thought that was called a j-hop. Back in the bmx days it was called a j-hop and bunny hop was when you lift the entire bike at once.

[@C1Ansy]

But how to get your tail up without clip pedals? Just push down the front bar when it's in the air?

[@JOEBOWERY]

I miss the hair! Good point

[@elendoev]

thank for your help

[@BobbyB24601]

Do people bunny hop before big jumps, is that how you make it over the jumps?

[@junny11211]

Pls more please

[@notfamous_yt1630]

this actually taught me to bunny hop on hard tail and dual sus

[@izabelalidzbarska1657]

I learned bunny hop on hartail. On a fullsus you need that timing. It took a bit time for me to do hing bunny hop on a full sus.
