Homie's got high hopes saying trying to bunny hop a shopping cart. My guy, I can't even bunny hop a whole curb lmfao.

Damn 6 years of riding and I've never heard of loosening your cranks so your legs have less resistance while trying to adjust position in the air. It definitely sounds like it would make a difference. I'm gonna have to try that out.

Also I remember the first day I felt like my hops were dialed enough to be able to hop up any curb in the city. I don't think I've ever been that stoked. Good times.

Even if i never learn anymore tricks i can still be hapy that at least I can bunny hop!

Your ideas and souls are great, this is an encouraging introduction and teaching to practice.

[VAustin]

have to agree with doing it on everything to gauge your bunny hop. That is how I learn and know what my limit is.

[tylerdurden]

Back to basics. Begin is such a chill guy.

[asherweck]

I remember my first days hopping up curbs 😂. I learned to hop high through the years but not Demarcus high

[tgchan]

Awesome tips. Even more awesome footage of some sick bunnyhops/

[ThatOne]

[StreetDreamzTT]

Thnx man. You got some sick hops. Currently learning them. Back on the bike at 29. 👍🏼

2:39 The jimmy hop was called the UK bunnyhop back in the day and the other bunnyhop when you lift the front wheel first was call the american bunny hop back when i first started riding when i was 7

[ChiTownGuerrilla]

Haven't touched my bike since I broke my ankle in May. Think I'll wait for spring.😣

[billygonza]

Damn nice video! I have a problem when lifting the back wheel and I really lift the front wheel first but my technique is bad tbh I’ll watch this vid later and I’ll try to follow the steps 🤟

[barlowjmb]

This was a really well made how-to. Demarcus Paul is a beast!

i tried to hop a shopping cart in 1987. i was going fast because shopping carts are wide. i clipped it with my back wheel. didn't crash but it scared me so bad i didn't try again.park benches were easy because the wide part is low. 46'' was my best measured hop. i also cleared 15 kids laying side by side on a sidewalk.if you want to race you'll be slow if you can't bunnyhop.

Where I came from a bunny hop was when you lifted both tires to the same height. What he's showing us how to do we called that a Bronco.

[moon_dowg]

More how to vids! This was hype thanks! 👊👊

[adamsevcik]

And there is 13 year old me, barely bunny hopping on my 14.4kg 2009 bmx with absolutely no grip on the pedals.

Steve Cab reference will never get old

Really good explanation. Learning to bunny hop can be the worst lol.
