hey what;s up guys I so next tip that you guys were asking for
was how to do a bunny hop. So here we are, I'm going to try and teach you how to do a bunny hop
Music: "oh yeahhhh"
So there are two types a bunny hops, the English bunny hop and
then there's the American bunny hop
The bunny hop is when you get both wheels off the ground at the same time
the American bunny hop is when you lift the front wheel
before you lift the rear wheel. The english bunny hop is easier to learn
but less useful. It's mainly used to go over small objects
or as a stepping stone on the way to learning the American bunny hop
to do the english bunny hop the first step is to preload. By bring your chest down to the
bars
and bending at your knees. Then expload upwards
and once your legs are arms are straight bring the bike up with you.
keep your toes pointed and you should find that the bike will come up
naturally
Common mistakes with the english bunny hop is bringing the bars into your chest
relying too much on clipless pedals to pull the bike up
the american bunny hop is the type of bunny hop people are usually referring to.
It's extremely practical used to go over objects and up
ledges; however the American bunny hop is a little bit more complex
so let's first examine how it works. There are three ways to get your back
wheel off the ground
there's a POP the SCOOP in the SHOVE
So the first step is the POP. Preload by dropping chest down to your bars
and bending at your knees. Then push off your bars and rock your weight backwards
getting your butt behind the rear axle. As your arms straighten
stand-up explosively bringing the bars into your lap and pulling the bike up
with you. Once the front wheel is off the groundm we need to get the back wheel
up. This is done by pointing your back foot and scooping your legs upward.
The third phase at the shove. As you scoop your legs up,
push the handle bars forward and get your butt behind your seat.
If you want to do high bunny hop you have to use all the skills in conjunction,
however if you don't want to jump that high
you may rely on one of these movements more than the other. So to learn the american
bunny hop try this following progression using a bike with a low seat
short stem, and platform pedals.
Draw a line in the ground or use a stick to give yourself something to aim for.
Practice picking your front wheel over the line by preloading in rocking your way
backwards this step resembles a manual. Second
practice picking your back wheel up by rocking your weght forwards and scooping
your legs up
and ensuring your back foot is pointed. Third
practice both movements together by getting your front wheel
over the line and then your back wheel. fourth practice getting your
front wheel over the line, but
before you allow your front wheel to touch the ground try getting your back
wheel in the air.
At this point, you should be getting both of your wheels off the ground at the same time
so one things that you can do if you are having trouble with the fourth step
is practicing the wrist motion standing off the bike.
The motion you make with your arms
is almost like rowing. Some common mistakes when learning how to do the
american bunny hop include
being scared get your butt behind your seat lending with your front wheel first,
which happens when your don't shove and jerking the bike upwards.
All the movements in american bunny hop should feel relatively fluid
If you don't get this trick right away don't get discouraged, really focus on
learning
one step at a time and take things slowl. The hardest part about learning
the American bunny hop
is timing and muscle memory. Once you've mastered this trick you'll find yourself
jumping over everything
two by fours, stuffed animals, and even your girlfriend.
