Me : knows how to bunny hop Also me : watch a bunny hop tutorial because Phil explains well

Phil I just learned how to bunny hop in less than 10 minutes thanks to this video and I am just commenting this now but it has been a couple weeks since I watched this and have gotten a lot better and gotten a lot of practical use on the trails out of it and wanted to say thanks.

"Most of us has a full suspension bike" *me cries in broke*

This was honestly the best and most comprehensive bunny hop tutorial I've ever come across. Thanks Phil!

This is the best bunny hop video for learners so far. The essential Phil!

Phil, just as with so many of your videos before, you are the master at analyzing and explaining how to think, and practice the bunny hop. You're the man, thanks a lot, and please keep doing them.

I love how he explains the why in each step. Makes it much easier to understand

Great breakdown of all the mechanics that it takes to do a Bunnyhop. I love all the detail and how you walked through it step-by-step. Thanks.

When Phil posts a video, that's one of my favorite parts of the day.

Missed the “let’s just hop into it” line haha

I've spent a good 2 hours watching dozens of videos on bunny hopping to figure out what I'm doing wrong. So many videos by the "pros" and even more videos by the "guys who will tell you what the pros don't tell you", but THIS is by far the most thorough explanation; you don't gloss over a single detail. Thank you!

This was one of the most thorough videos. Teaching, and breaking things down that you know really well is very difficult, but you did such a great job. Thanks for making this.

I'll be bookmarking this.

Dude that’s the best description of the mechanics and movements I’ve seen yet! Perfectly explained👍

Love the breakdown and explanation of the various components required to bunny hope successfully. Great video thanks.

You have a gift of explaining things and breaking them down effectively, as a newbie to the sport, I appreciate all your tutorials.

Best explenation on the internet.... especially like the preload section and how a ahrd tail differs from a full suss... thanks very much.

The most comprehensive bunny hop vid yet, and explained so well. As always, you're Phil Kmetz, and you are Phil with skills. 🤘

Thank you so much, Phil This was by far the most analytical breakdown of the bunny hop that I have seen on YT. I really needed this.

Thanks for that Phil. The best and clearest breakdown/dissection and analysis of a Bunny Hop I've seen to date. I'd given up, but you've motivated me to persevere!

Had my first proper summer shred today, got home, the SO had a delicious salad ready, the beer was cold and Phil has uploaded a new vid! today is gid!

Tutorial for dummies, yes!!!! I so needed this. Thank you so much

Ok, This is by far the best video for explaining bunny hops. Thank you!!!

I’ve been down the YT bunnyhop rabbit-hole for a few days now and I’m surprised the algo didn’t offer up this excellent video much sooner as it’s one of the best. You really answered all the questions I still had about all the subtle small movements - and explained why they work.

Thank you for all you do for the MTB and BMX community Phil. Your teaching is top notch. Still refining this skill on my BMX. We live in amazing times with referencing like this and the ability to video ourselves for technique correction.

Dude, that was fantastic. I’m going to learn to do a bunny hop before this season ends. Thx man!

Brilliant Phil. This is the best break-down of the bunny hop I've seen.

I've seen a lot of bunnyhop teaching videos, but this one is by far the best, most detailed and nailed the specifics of truly achieving it! Can't wait to try it now! Thanks man!

Thank you Phil! I honestly miss these tutorials. Your insights really help us learn. Next level. 😎 Awesome! -Sam

Never heard the lifting the front wheel as a way to gain more movement from your legs before. Great explanation.

100% one of the best videos on how to bunny hop. The slow motion showing the body movements are so useful. Same for the other howto videos, you're very good at that Phil :)

I've been able to do bunny hops. Started with the 2 wheels off at the time time but really struggled with front wheel first then followed by the rear. This video explains it so much more clearly for me than other videos. Thanks so much Phil.

I've ridden bikes for years, mainly bmx. I can still remember how much I struggled to learn my first bunny hops. This video is the best explanation I have ever seen. Comparing it to a regular jump with your feet is such a good idea to visualize and understand what you have to to. Great job!

Man, this is BY SOOOO FAR the best bunny hop tutorial out there, I love your way of explaining stuff!

I've been practicing myself and this was exactly what I felt like I was doing. Thanks for the explanation that goes along with my actions rather than what I've seen in other videos

Thank you Phil, I’ve watched many tutorials without success and today I did my first bunny hop after watching this.

*Phil* : Explains it expertly *Me* : Oh, that's simple, I get it!! *Also Me* : _Goes Outside_ - Proceeds to smash rear wheel into curbs *_sigh_*

This is the absolute best bunny hop analysis/tutorial I've seen by far. Phil, you are awesome. Keep up the great work!

The key to teaching is explaining and demonstrating the concept in manner your audience can understand and relate too. This video nails it. Thank you Phil.

Best bunny hop tutorial I'm seen yet. Thank you.

It's great when you know how to do a move, like a Bunny Hop, but go back & watch a well-directed video on the subject to refresh on key fundamentals. I ride clipped in, so bunny hopping is like cheating now & you tend to lose focus on fundamentals, such as weight transfer (since in most use cases, you can rely on your front wheel to come up & the use of the clips/reverse squatting to bring the rear tire up). The extra weight transfer/preloading allows you to fully trampoline upward, whereas making your clips/legs do all the work brings you up less. Thanks for a good stay-at-home drill to practice Phil!

This was actually a nice breakdown and tutorial. Back in the day I could bunny hop a bmx bike easy. Fast forward years later I was having a hard time on a full suspension. This video helped out a lot

Excellent tutorial. I love that you started in standing position explaining what a jump really is in defining preload vs not! Well done and your hops are super rad!!

This is amazing! All details step by step from different perspectives! Thank u very much

Perfect timing, Phil. I was just rewatching all bunny hop videos I know before I go out to ride and practice. It's three hours later, I'm back at home and actually got a little better. You are a gifted teacher, Phil. Especially the "don't pull, just carry your bike with you." part gave me the right perspective and I had some small but significant progress today.

Phil you're the man

Best bunny hop tutorial I've seen. Thanks!

This is definitely the most comprehensive tutorial to bunny hop. Great work!

The track stand and the bunny hop are two of the most important skills in my book for riding any kind bike on dirt.

i know im late on commenting to this but this video did so much for me!

So well explained! Your old videos on bunny were already good but this one goes deeper into the mechanics of it. Makes it so much more effective. Good job. Glad to see more of your content. Kinda missed your channel man. Keep shreding! Cheers

One of the best explained technique videos i've seen! Keep them coming!

I really liked this vid even though I already know how to bunny hop

That is incredibly well-explained ! I appreciate how you put things in perspective by relating each movement to Physic. +1 like and subscribe :D

Ah this is awesome. Thanks! I cannot wait to start practicing bunny hopping. I love how you explain the mechanics behind the movements. It makes so so so much more sense.

This is the best video I have seen that explains the mechanics and forces needed to bunny hop, thanks!

i like how this comes out the day i'm trying to learn the american bunny hop

I rode a lot of MTB trials as a kid and young adult, but life got busy and here I am 15 years later watching a bunny hop tutorial 🤣 My issue is specifically as I’ve moved from a fully rigid, to a full suspension bike and this video really helped me understand why my bunnyhops are lacking pop. Great explanation of a subtly different technique, I’ll put some of this into practice tomorrow, thanks 👍🏻

First bunny hop complete thanks to Phil and this video! Awesome instructions.

Amazing breakdown. Best tutorial by far.

This is great to have mtn bike youtubers like yourself. Because when I was getting into mtn biking trying to learn the skills I would ask my friends that are experienced riders how to do something and they just say idk I just kinda do it. So to this day (i’ve been mtn biking for 2 years now) i can bunny hop 2ft high and when someone ask me how I do a skill I really don’t know.😂 It’s one of those things that just comes natural.

Can you do the “level up” challenge but with bunny hopping 😂

Thank you Phil for the isolation of situational awareness in regards to the potential engagement of body action required 👌 🙂

I’ve watched a lot of tutorials on how to bunny hop. This is by far the most comprehensive breakdown of the individual techniques. Thanks Phil

4 bunny hop videos in and finally got the aha at 5:20 where you don’t pull with your arms as much

When bunny hopping with a hardtail, are the mechanics exactly the same as you describe in this video? If so, how does the rear wheel get preloaded without a suspension?

I already knew how but listening to the way you explained made me understand it completely if I was a new rider, amazing job

Very well explain tutorial. I can 'hop' high enough to get onto curbs but really need to work on my technique to get higher. I've been riding for over 2 decades but have never committed learn to properly. Seeing you and Seth easily hop onto a table has motivated me to learn!

I’ve been bunny hopping on my hard tail for years but last weekend I got the chance to ride a full suspension bike for the first time and instantly thought “I bet I can bunny hop way higher on this than my hard tail” honestly bunny hopping on a hard tail feels way more rewarding and is a much quicker motion so just remember you don’t need a full suspension bike to get off the ground

when a physics teacher learns to bike to fit in with the students

Phil, your instructional videos are the best. Congratulations to you and Hailey!

I just realized he filmed this in my local park

i bet 80% of people watching this know how to bunny hop already

Nice job explaining and putting the video together Phil!

Thanks for this excellence video . I really like that you divide the complex movement into little pieces. So I can practise each little step separately. Well done!

This is simply the best breakdown and analysis of the bunny hop in terms of the body mechanics involved and how to learn to do it.

Great video breaking down the components to bunny hop. This is exactly what my son needs to help him, small achievable goals that when put together make the building blocks to a very useful skill. Thank you!

Phil, you have a great way of breaking down the elements of tricks and explain it in a way people can relate to. Like with the trampoline example and carrying vs lifting the bike. I find tons of videos of MTB tricks on KZfaq, but you stuff is great man - I keep coming back to your videos to get better.

One of the best tutorials I've seen for breaking down the motions. It makes more sense to me now. Thanks!

Great explanations on the different aspects, made a lot of sense in my mind. Thanks Phil!

What an exceptional tutorial. Thanks Phil!

Great explainer Phil! Thanks for all your helpful video tutorials!

The best bunny hop tutorial on the internet. Thanks Phil !

This is by far the best bunny hop explanation I have come across on KZfaq. Gracias!

Thanks for breaking it down really well! Best bunny hop vid by far!

Thanks Phil. Best bunnyhop explanation on youtube. Can’t wait to try

Best bunny hop video ever hands down 💯

This is probably the first bunny hop video that has ever made sense...! way to go on the verbal descriptions and examples. simple and concise. Braking it down in separate exercises makes perfect sense. awesome vid.! Subscribed!!

Out of the 4 million videos on bunny hops, this is probably the best thought-out one. Good job Phil

Very helpful! This is probably the best bunny hop video I have seen. Thanks Phil!

Very clear and comprehensive instructions. I found this way easier to understand than any of the other bunny hop videos I’ve watched because it’s broken down so analytically

Phil, you are awesome. Thanks for your content. For such a ripper you have a very humble demeanor. It’s super refreshing and much appreciated. God bless.

Very clearly explained! Thanks Phil 👍🏼

Wow! Such a great, detailed video. Thanks Phil!

The best guide I've seen, now the whole thing makes sense at last. Great guide to making youtube tutorials as well! Thanks Phil.

The best how-to bunny hop video I have seen (and I've watched a lot of them)!

This is the best tutorial I've seen yet, and I've watched A LOT of them

This was by far the best bunny hopping video I've come across on KZfaq, and I've watched a lot of them.

Great new look at something a lot of us are working on. Thanks for going back to it with more insight.

I’ve watched multiple bunny hop videos but you have a way of using normal words and it actually making sense. Thanks I’ll be getting after it when I recover from shoulder surgery
