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

[The_Sampler]

wow that is such an effective analogy dude!!

[benjaminhuberty]

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

Duuude the trampoline makes it so intuitive! Awesome!

[LittMTB]

Love that you are back to teaching skills!

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

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

[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.

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!!

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!

[matthewcoffin]

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

[jothamoliver]

I love these short vids, Phil. Well done.

[Livinthelife]

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

[andrewpm]

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

[skdeadphil]

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

[uattias]

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

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

[bostidsen]

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

[rick]

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

[adolfomoralesrivera]

The explanation with the trampoline was brilliant!
