- Learning to Mountain Bike is insanely fun. The most fun I have had thus far when it comes to learning to mountain bike is learning to bunnyhop. The style of bunnyhop in this video is called the "American Bunnyhop. the skills and techniques in this video are geared towards teaching a beginner mountain biker to perform an American bunnyhop on a Mountain Bike. The first time you are able to get both tires in the air, marks the point at which you are ready to begin pushing yourself to getting over bigger and more dangerous obstacles. This video will show you how to progress to the very beginning and take your bunnyhop skills to the next level.

Hey guys share this vid everywhere you can for me, let's blow this channel up!!!!
damn, my left ear really enjoyed that audio :P
Lol sorry man I did t take into account headphones I guess lol
I was listening with only right earbud and was like..."There's no voice! only music," then I see your comment. Left earbud on.
Scione S I'm deaf in my left ear lol
Learning to bunny hop has been about the hardest thing I've tried to do on a bike. Still suck but I'm not giving up. 60 now, maybe by the time I'm 65...?!
lol, you'll get it I have faith ya, its just dedication everyday for at least 10 to 15 min, if you have not tried being consistent on a daily basis for two to three weeks try it even if its at night when you get home.
John West lol
John West
Don't give up!
It's not mentioned in this vid but if you move your seat down your legs & body can move more freely (have a look at the video again and see how his seat is out of the way).
Great video and I hope my little tip helps even tho it's a little late.
John West -- I can totally relate. I watch these videos breaking it down, but I just don't get it. The technique is really subtle, but I just can't get it. What's especially frustrating is when I go to this bicycle park, which has these series of wooden small table-top jumps. I see other guys getting air and landing on the downside. I carry more and more speed, but can't elevate to land on the downside. If I ever understand how to do the bunny hop, I believe the same technique is what's needed to elevate off the small jumps.
Hey there Im a fellow oldie, 53 I cant imagine how your back feels after practicing Bunny Hops. At my age its really painful :)
A good tip is to point your toes down scoop with your feet backwards on the pedals to help bring the back of the bike up to your ass when youve brought the handlebars to your waist and you are standing full upright on the pedals and pushing the handlebars forward to level out the bike, PS. its easier to practice bunnyhops on grass with any kind of ramp or bump.
Good video. I'll take a lesson from somebody who's humble about their abilities rather than somebody who tells me that "it just takes practice to get as good as me."
Lol 😂😂 thanks brother!!!
I found this video to be very helpful. I've watched Seth and Phil's videos as well. Nether said anything about coming off the back and that in itself has helped me and my daughter both.
Thanks man
Wow man that is a huge compliment and I'm so stoked you and your daughter were able to glean something !! That makes my day!
your daughter rides? soo cool
Watch GMBN, they tell you every detail to bunny hop.
Jam Banjango yeah they were the best before I found this one, but this one really went into lots of tips and stuff.
Out of all the bunny hop videos I’ve watched, I feel like this one broke it down and explained it to me the best. Time to go out and practice now!
I love that bush tip, dude! Great video, man. Evolution!
Awesome was hoping that would stand out because that helped me a lot!!! Ha ha 💪💪💪💪😎😎😎
If you really have that kind of bushes. If I look around, all I can see are bushes who probably grab your bike and will send you into the air hehe. Still good tip..
lol yeah bushes very you'll have to find that special bush
Great Idea especially if you set the bush on fire😄
If you don’t have a good bush, you can use a reusable shopping bag. I used one from Trader Joe’s. It was stiff enough to stay up, but soft enough to compress if you don’t get your back tire up. You can also adjust the height easily as you progress.
I will say your bunny hopping skills have improved a lot. The biggest key is to just get out there and try, the more you try the better you get. The bar movement tutorial is great and easy to follow. I think what people miss is just how fast and how explosive the movement really is to get really high. Hope you have a great holiday season my man.
Thank you Justin did you feel the tips were somewhat insightful tried to provide as much value as I could 👍 Thank you justin!!!
You presented a great how to video on how to Bunny Hop. Better than some others I have seen. Nice Work. Hope to see more.
Wow mark thank you so much so stoked you enjoyed the vid, your comment means a lot especially since doing a vid like this really puts ya out there for criticism 👍🤗
There are always the huge channels that do the best “how too’s” but you do the best out of everyone Ive seen
Wow man thank you!
Hey it was great hearing these instructions from someone who was just learning this themselves as an adult and not trying to explain something they've been doing since they were a kid. Nothing wrong with them exactly, but they tend to take some things for granted.
It’s really true right on glad to help 😎🤘
IMO, your best video to date. Your love, sincerity and genuine enthusiasm comes out loud and clear. Thanks for the tips.
Lionel thank you, you have no idea how much this comment meant to me!!!
Fantastic video, man. I appreciate how honest and humble you are, despite the fact that you bunny hop better than probably 80% of the people watching!
One is greater than zero. No point in waiting for perfection. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the inspirational video.
Ha ha right on brother anytime 😎🤘
👍🏻📹
Really great tips!
I ride mtb for about 10 years.
I can't wheelie, can't manual, can't bunny hop 😉
hope fully now that you have my vvid you will get it lol, right on man you'll get it
MTBdropIN 😄
I've been riding for 6 months now on a consistent basis and I need to get my bunny hop skills dialed in and this is a great video. I appreciate you.
You can do it!
10,000% agreed use flats people! Every thing else was spot on as well good job!
Dude right on thank you so much!!!
Clear, positive and optimistic mind ! The idea behind the bush is fenomenal!
ha ha, right on an thank you so man levels man, hope to hear from you more on a live stream and in further comments :)
dude the way you did that shit with just the handlebars in your hands, and did the motions and explained what your feet are doing at various stages of the bunnyhop was spot on. thanx man.
Dude right on brother so glad to have helped
Really enjoyed the video! I definitely like the way you broke it down. Best way I've heard it explained. Plus you showed each step and shared your experience. I'm fairly new to mountain biking (just a year of being a weekend warrior). I have watched so many videos and think I should get it with a couple hours of serious practice. When talking about the standing up part I think you said something like...'It literally took me only 2 months of practice.' Thanks for putting it into perspective and putting out this video!
Your crazy welcome, your comment really was super inspiring thank you
This guy is not a pro or a neutral and that's what make his instructions so good. He understands the hurdles of learning the skill and how to overcome them. Well done. Can be a litle shorter with less irrelevant chat. Thanks mate.
ha ha, right on man, your comment meant so much man thank you, Im sorry it was a little chatty my vids are kinda like that. Anyway man im so glad you found it useful. So stoked to hang with ya further as the channel progresses.
I've watched a lot of bunny hop videos...this is by far the most useful one I've watched, thanks for the specificity...particularly the moves when just holding the handlebars with no bike attached. Thanks!
Dude no worries thank you for letting me know
This was by far the most helpful video for learning a bunny hop
wow thanks brother, hope to hear about your progress soon!
@@MTBdropIN I practiced a lot yesterday, and I managed to get the right technique for getting the front wheel of the ground. I just need to get the back wheel off the ground too.
right on dude can't wait to see it on instagram
You broke down the steps really well. I'm glad you said it took you a while to learn. Someone in these comments said they learned in a day. Not helpful. I saw a video where the guy said he learned in a half hour! LOL I guess I suck but it's still fun practicing,.
Yeah dude no way I learned that quick not even close havah
I have been trying bunnyhops for a month with different videos. I have finally done it with this video thanks a lot.
What the hell, dude thank you for letting me know spread the word 😁👍
great tutorial, especially if that's your first! I have two extra pointers for bunnyhopping(?)
1. Your second tip - bailing of the back - can be broken down into two steps: stepping of the back of an overcooked wheelie, and jumping off the back of an overcooked manual. The first is easy, the second doesn't come naturally if (like me) you didn't ride skateboard/bmx as a kid. It's not like jumping into the air, it's pulling your feet quickly off the pedals and putting them on the ground before your ass gets there. subtle difference.
2. practicing bunnyhop on a natural dirt step up is a lot more forgiving than street features with hard square edges, and the soft edges kind of push the bike into the hop and help you get a feeling for the right technique.
Dave thank you for the awesome tips and recommendations I appreciate them a lot 😎👍
This is a great video. One mental block for me was getting my back tire off. Doing a little endo-ish thing by bending my knees and standing up was a great way for me to get over that mental block in my head.
Dude that’s amazing thank you for sharing this with me and share this with friends if you felt it helpful 😎🤘
I just learned the bunny hop over quarantine. This tutorial is spot on.
Right on thank you for this amazing feedback
You did a good job man. Seriously though, don't sweat what other people are going to say. That just opens you up to a$$holes looking to rip you. Truth is people are going to give you $hit whether you give them permission or not.
Ha ha, dude really needed this comment before the storm man thank you so much !!!! You are a good man !!!!
One of your better videos IMO. seemed really genuine and had some helpfult tips. thanks for sharing!
Right on man so glad you liked it hope to bring more videos that you enjoy man thank you again!
I learnt how to English bunnyhop when I was a teenager and didn't know that that there was any other way to do until I started watching Skills with Phil on RUclips. Now I am having to unlearn everything that i ever knew to get the much better American bunnyhop down.
Yeah the English bunny hop just comes far more naturally 😁 Phil is the man hope he gets more serious about his channel in the future dude is my favorite
Just wanted to say that you put out a nice video on this. It’s good to see someone trying to progress through this like the vast majority of us. 👍
Dude I really appreciate it man. You have no idea how appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you think!!!
@MTBdropIN Its cool you said it took you couple of months to get it to happen. Every other video ive watched makes it sound like youll be up hopping in 15 minutes after watching their vid. And it frustrates me as i never am, so i stop trying and consequently still cant hop. After your candid and likely more realistic time fram i think i will try again just knowing that this is how long it will take, it is not that I am meant to remain earth bound.
Cheers
ha ha right on man let me know how the progress goes thank you for this awesome comment and feedback
Just a little comment I watched so many videos about how to's yours wasn't that professional but it was real. Like you I am struggling to wheelie, manual but my bunny hops are in control. But it felt good to see a video about a real guy trying to get better. This is what I need to continue the progress and continue enjoying myself. At the end of the day this is what we do this for
Thumbs up keeping it real!
Thank you Eric that really tells me a lot about the direction of my channel, im so glad that im communicating with you guys on our level, awesome eric, thank you for the kind words!!!
Dude kudos to you. This vid was more informative than most of the 5 min vids that does nothing but confuse beginners.
Lol right on man thank you 😎🤘
The best bunny hoop tutorial hands down!
Thanks brotha !!!
@@MTBdropIN you're welcome bruh!
Great video! A+ for the Bush and jumping off the back tip, very relatable.
Ha ha right on brother let me know if I can help in anyway
I learnt a little differently to you. I put a stick on the ground, practiced doing the manual over the stick and let the rear wheel roll over the stick. Got used to this then practiced lifting the rear wheel on its own by approaching the stick in a manual position (both wheels still rolling on the ground), then when the front wheel rolled over the stick I would stand up straight and nose my head forward a little to bring up the rear wheel. Next I would approach the stick slow, do the manual lift then do the rear wheel lift as a separate move so both wheels got over the stick.
Get used to this then all you do is gradually build up your approach speed, the two moves will blend together and you'll start to get a proper bunny hop.
Top improve height I recommend making a small 'high jump' style hurdle where the bar will fall off easily when you knock it. I made one out of electrical conduit and it is totally safe to use.
MTB Ryder these are all amazing tips, thank you so much for sharing them, thank you for taking the time this will prove to help others in the community for sure.
Good job. I’ve only been riding a few months but I can bunny hop well so take this as just a helpful tip for you: suck up. You can go so high if you do. I’m probably 80 pounds more than you and can go higher because I suck up. You’ll notice a big difference.
Your form is really good and clean but you hold the manual part for a little long. The ONLY issue you’ll find is that you lose a little of your body momentum versus if you did it all in one swoop of compress, lean back, scoop and suck up.
I say just try the sucking up and scooping the most and watch yourself gain 3-6 inches on it. Good luck man!
Dude great critique man I will be sucking up more could you elaborate on what you mean more by that just so I can be sure
MTBdropIN sure. So when watching you I see you bend your legs at about a 45 degree angle. That’s great for curbs and honestly most trail riding that’ll suffice because you can often find obstacles to pop off of to give you some extra lift. Instead of bending at 45 degrees try sucking your knees more to your chest (while learning your feet may come off the pedals some so that’s why you need to use your toes to scoop the pedals up too) and you should see some height gains in just a few tries. I drop my seat and I literally make sure my seat taps my gooch (lol) but really it helps
Thank you very much for this!!
When you mentioned the 'L' shape I new that you were going to show a bunnyhop with proper technique. Thanks. I've got all the theory now, I just need to keep practicing!
Ha ha right on man let me know how it continues to go
Detailed! One of the most essential skills to learn so you can jump pointy rocks and avoid flats at a minimum.
I'm still learning it and have slashed 3 tires so far, so it saves money too! lol
lol, ha ha I have never realized that, that would have been a great benefit to list. Thank you francisco for the comment man.
Your tips are great and your attitude is even better! It’s nice to get basic tips from someone who is humble...keep up the good work.
wow steve thank you so much for those crazy, kind words!! Thank you sir!
I watched lots of tutorials for past two years but this one is the best, especially part with handlebar only... gj
Dude thanks a lot man crazy cool makes me feel the love ha ha
Best advice so far across the web. I need those baby steps
Ha ha right on brotha 😉
Now there's a detailed way to bunny hop good job!!
Ha ha 🔥🤘🤪😎 yes sir
Great How-To! I hate flats, but I do force myself to ride them every once in a while for technique. It’s so important
Dude seriously I can already see myself struggling to maintain good technique!!! Thanks for the comment!!!
Prob the BEST turorial on bunny hop ive seen!!
Right on brother thank you
This is real good man, I’m 45 and just getting back out on my bike and you have just made it click in my head. Watched all the others and they are great but your manner and little tips .... the L shape , jumping off the back learning to manual and wheelie in there too, and the bush is fantastic. We used to do this in the 80s on BMX bounce through the tops of bushes like The A-Team opening credits. ( ok it’s a mid-life crises but I’m having fun). Your advice made all those tricks combine....finally. I know where I’ll be tomorrow morning...nursing a sore back from looping out probably.
Cheers from Scotland
wow this has been some of the coolest feedback I have ever received on this video thank you and keep me informed on y0ur progress
You did a good job breaking the overall process into steps. I was able to think about improving each step and also where my hop was breaking down as a whole.
that was really the goal of this vid was to give you guys specific things to practice where you are at individually thank you so much for the feedback in regards to this it makes me feel great that you are getting something from this. So stoked!
Nice to see a rider that is learning give their feed back about what works for them and explain their experience. Some of the other videos covering these maneuvers are done by Professional riders with lots of Trials experience. They can jump up onto or over obstacles like a cat. While they are very impressive it is difficult for a beginner or average rider to relate to their phenomenal talent. I think you did a great job for you target audience.
ha ha thank you Thomas!!!
Just watching this again and I realize how good this video is. Thank you.
Haha thanks brotha!
Great vid, here are a few more tips. If using full suspension, practice with bike in medium firm mode because full open mode will try to soak up your compression. Second, really exaggerate the pre load phase. Third, keep arms straight - if you try to pull back your body moves forward and the front won’t come up. Fourth look straight ahead. Fifth, Seth’s bike hacks has a great meerkat explanation - basically visualize a meerkat standing up with the bars across your lap at the top of the movement before you shove them forward. Sixth, that L shape is key. Most have a tendency to not go straight back but down, then move the hips back at an upward angle. That will make it harder to do the move. So straight down, and straight back with the hips.
right on man solid tips, i will take them, right on Peter
OMG THANK YOU for taking the time to do this!! Best bunny hop vid I have watched to date. Thanks!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Like the video Budd practice makes perfect, I’m back starting to ride after 16yr hiatus so I’m going to taste these tips and practice how yo bunny hope at 46yrs of age. Keep those skills video coming
Right on brother will do
Right on brother will do
Tony, sweet video man....since i am new to the sport i need all the help i can get and this was SUPER helpful.....thanks for making this video dude!
Wow, can't describe how great it feels to help you guys, can't wait to do a wheelie vid when I master them 👍😁
that makes 2 of us lol!
This are the best tips I've watched on bunny hop. Even compared to the famous RUclips bike channels. The bush tip is brilliant.
Great job and thank you!
we have a great bike community here, and I usually never see any negative comments, why? because we all have the same passion for biking, and supporting each other. MERRY CHRISTMAS Tony to you, and your family
You know what you are right, it's very rare for people to be rude you guys are awesome!!! Thank you and be safe this Christmas!!
Thank you for this tutorial, I have learnt a lot from your video. The most important thing that I have learnt from you is every failure is just 1 step closer to actually freaking making it happen.😂 Off to clock failures now✌
Great tips about bunny hops. 🤙😜
Straight forward on easiest way to learn it. Now, i gonna find a video on how to grow the right bush...
🤣
Dude, great addition to all the 'pro' vids I've been watching. Sometimes it really helps to hear from someone who is more mortal and understands how to communicate to folks who have a million, but very basic, thoughts running through our heads while learning. Perfect technique is something to strive for in some cases but a lot of us just want to be able to flow better on the trail and hop over that 6'' log rather than loosing speed dragging the rear over it. For us, this enough to greatly enhance riding. I'm not a pro racer or Danny M. I just want to improve my experience on the trail. This is a great start, nice job.
Also- I would agree to practice wheelies and manual'ing first, or at least in conjunction. I'm only in week 2 of practicing these three things after riding SPD's for 13 years. it's coming little by little but improvement is happening.
wow man thank you for this feedback it means a ton!
The manual to standing up part totally connected the dots for me.
Dude he’ll yeah thank you for letting me know this
Man, the best explanation i ever found.
dude hell yeah, thank you. let me know how the progress goes.
Very helpful video man, thanks! I'm still kinda afraid to throw my weight to the bars but I'm getting there! 💯🤘
😎🤘🤘🤘 keep going you will get it
Nice tips man! This is a skill I'm still working on nailing down :-)
Thank you Gene, greatly appreciated my friend!!!
As a beginner I thought this was a solid video. Good on you. The bit with the handlebar was unique and insightful. have a great 2018 on the bike!
Howard, thank you so much in regards to the feedback, really means a lot man, would be cool to see your progression send me a vid clip sometime on facebook as you progress.
Great and really well explained....now to practice...a lot ! Thanks for doing it.
Anytime brother
Thank you so much!
This is the best video on how to bunny hop! Keep it up!
Right on brother thank you!!
Great video. Has given me hope. I've watched 3 or 4 videos on how to bunny hop and this is probably the best.
Let me know how the progress goes 😎🤘
Loved the just handle bar demo
Never seen it taught like that but helps more than anything else
Right on brother glad you appreciated it
Can’t believe ur commenting on ur 3yr old vids I like that
@@djfluffyc9148 always brother !
Thx buddy. Will go practice in my lunch break immediately. :)
Hells yeah 🤙🤘
Cool video and thanks for all the tips.
I got into MTB since a year and I have been practicing to bunny hop and I still could not. I'm just kid of scared to lift the front wheel and pull that to my waist. Yesterday I did make an attempt to bunny hop over the pavement and as soon as I got the front wheel up, I got scared and I did a nasty mistake of applying the brakes and the back wheel kind of stopped as soon as it hit the pavement and this action kind of pushed me forward and I was about to go over the bars. I tried avoiding going over the bars and kind of managed to fall to the side and in the process I fractured my right toe thumb. I also did some considerable damage to my rear gears, though they still are fully functional.
But despite all this, I came across this video and it just gives me confidence. So I will start practicing all over again after 3 weeks, the time my foot will take to heel!
Keep doing these videos, they are awesome!
Ha ha wow thank you so much for the encouragement can’t tell how much this means. Also yes please let me know how you progress in a few weeks from now good luck my friend
Glad this got recommended - RAD! thanks for the tips T!
Right on brother
Tip 2 is crucial for learning manuals, wheelies and hops. Definitely going to get comfortable with that before I continue practicing.
Right on Diego thank you so much for the props man let me know how it goes.
Bro you explained the best ❤
Thanks for the tutorial I think its one of the best tutorials out there and great quality. I can do a little wheelie but I am going to practice manual right now!
Right on brother let me know how it goes
I can do a bunny hop with my rear wheel like 10 cm from the ground
Just a lot of practice I think
sick!, yes practice practice, remember every failure is one step closer to making it happen!
🤗
I've watched a bunch of vids on this and yours is not bad really!
Right on brother thank you
Awesome video. Probably the best bunny hop how to.... And I've literally watched 50 of them. All I would add is a suggestion that you build the bunny hop trainer that single track sampler made! Best how to!
I know that was not even a thing when I made this vid ha ha
Very great tutorial....Best I've ever seen ! Thank U
dude that's amazing so stoked you enjoyed it and thank you for that comment man real big thanks
Thank you, you came across very clear very easy to understand. Hopefully using your video i might get the bunny hop dialed.
Don't forget to catch me on facebook so you can send me your progression and show everyone :)
Most people tend to talk about "using your hips" at some point and I'm like.. huh? Should I hump the bike or what? Loved your explanation with the handle bar, it made it way easier to understand. I can see that you've not mastered this skill yet but for sure it looks way better compared to my bunnyhopping, which today consists of the dreaded SPD pull... now, I only need some flat pedals, good shoes and a lot of practice.
Great information. I just turned 69 and would love to learn to bunny hop before I hit 70. You make me feel like I have a chance.
Ha ha keep me posted on the progress 😎💪
Great video, one tip for you, make your audio mono, in music vocals are usually positioned mono, not left or right, rarely stereo, maybe only for effect, this will make your videos more enjoyable, cheers!
Dude thanks I was so bummed when I noticed this 😕
The bush tip is a very good idea! And original too. Thanks.
Ha ha right on man thank you so much!!! Thank you so much for leaving me a comment
wow. best bunny hop video ever.
Wow thank you you crazy appreciate let me know how the process goes
That tutorial is so fcking amazing! I mean: it shows the move without the bike (only with the bar) then with the bar. Step by step is shown very clearly, and that example of exercise to master bunny hoping...Perfectly done tutorial :D
Wow man I really appreciate that than you so much!!!
:D well done bro, well done
thank you sir!
BEST EXPLANATION ON HOW TO BUNNY HOP
So stoked you enjoyed 👍🤘😎
MTBdropIN I did. What I don’t understand is the stand up jump part to get height. I tried It today and it’s not making sense to me. I can get the wheel up in a Manuel but wen I try to jump and stand up It does nothing but up like 6 inches... I don’t get how to do all that at once to get height.
Begin practicing lifting up your rear wheel by pointing your toes down and scooping back does this make sense ?
MTBdropIN yes but I already know how to do that. What I don’t understand is the standing up motion and jumping where the legs are straight and the bars are by the hips. How do you jump from there
Tony, this was an excellent video, man.
I can bunny hop modestly (in both styles), but with lots of room for improvement. I found it extremely useful when you recommended to practice bailing from a Manual, and I think that is something that would help me considerably. I have lots of fear of looping out, so I'll try to session that some days in order to minimize that fear. Using a soft obstacle as a reference was also an interesting idea.
Thank you for the effort you put into this, man. It's much appreciated!
Wow, RG thank you so much man I really feel the love from your comment man, so stoked you enjoyed this one.
Fantastic, cleared most of the bush, better than me.
Ha ha right on brother
Very helpful bro, thank you! 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
Nice video and your video I think was very good. I am a older rider who is always trying to get better. I found building a manual machine, Mt Tonka's channel helped me a lot. Having the manual machine allows to practice and really work on my balancing point. When I started with the machine-box I would watch Skills with Phil and work on proper form. I also like that your not a pro, they sometimes make it look so easy, though for me it is not, again thanks
right on Scott so glad to be able to help
Great tips. Works for me. Thanks!
Right on JL so stoked you enjoyed the vid man!
I have seen many videos ... This is on my top 2 thanks bro..
Wow brother thank you 😎🤘
I think this video may help! But I’m outta town for a few days. Can’t wait to get back, rewatch your video again and try it out! I think the pulling straight back suggestion might help. Stay tuned!
Rich that would be amazing If I ended up helping you bunnyhopping I will stay tuned
Very helpful. If I were you I would master trackstanding. Then trackstand to wheelie chin up, less head movement. The track stands help with the extra movements
Thats funny you say that because im really working on my track standing right now and it has completely transformed my ridding capabilities, in my opinion the most under rated skill in mountain biking, dude thank you for the comment i get so stoked to hang with you guys and chat hope to talk to you more soon.
Good video it nice too see a new learning style. Also I’m working on the wheeling/manual right now.. haha. Hope you have a blast in Vegas this weekend.! 🤙🏻
Yeah I'm gonna try and get out there my knee may hold me back but we'll see how I feel in the morning , thank you so much by the way for the kudos!!!
Great job, keep sharing knowledge.
