      +Seth's Bike Hacks - The Frame by Frame is fantastic, Even more if you can do bullet time! Haha. Really really, helps... us over analytical types, haha.
      Question:
      I'm not sure if it's just my bike frame that's a little on the long side for me. As I'm not that fit to begin with (understatement) so it may just be me.
      The Issue, Is I can get my front wheel to Pop-up. But It drops down too fast and feels heavy. So I'm unable to pull it up to my waist. The only way so far that gave me some results in regards to hopping my bike, Is with the help of speed bumps to give that extra pre-load.
      Even then, I can still feel my lack of control "finesse".
      I try to push as far back as I can, but my Thighs get in the way, and hook up to my saddle, haha. I get the idea that it should be way down low, but on a regular trail ride, stopping to drop it down, is a bit meh. Especially on emergencies.

    • @andrewnorris5415
      @andrewnorris5415 9 лет назад +7

      +Simon Kendrick So don't pull the front wheel up from the bars, instead move your body back and then lock your arms to lift the front wheel. this keeps the front wheel up longer as your weight will be more back.

    • @SethsBikeHacks
      @SethsBikeHacks  9 лет назад +13

      Andrew is right, you need to pull back as far as you can with your arms straight before you start pulling the bars up.

    • @DaemonCross
      @DaemonCross 9 лет назад

      Hi! Yeah,thats my other issue. I move as far back as I could, but my Thighs get in the way, Ahaha.
      I wanted to have some manualing skill I can use on on emergencies at the time when I couldn't drop the seat down.
      So I take it, that as long as I don't drop my seat, Manualing and hopping is gonna be epic hard for a guy with thick legs? haha.

    Hello, Seth.
    Thank you for the video! It's very helpful.
    I know you have lots of experience, but I think it would be very good for you to wear at least a helmet while filming these videos. You're trying to get newbies to develop some very helpful skills, but many of them disregard the importance of safety gear, and seeing you without it might reinforce negative habits. Lead by example, you know?
    Thank you for your time. Keep up the great work!

    Seth, i've been cycling for a few years and decided to learn other bike skills aside from just sitting and pedaling around. got a new bike with good suspension fork and finally realized why they had to be good. thanks man. inspired to jump my bike (and did it!) after watching this vid.

  • @soulzerosix
    @soulzerosix 9 лет назад +3

    Congrats on the videos, they're very thorough and a good help for both newbies and more experienced riders. I really liked that you are using an entry level, off the shelf hardtail for the videos. It just proves that skills are more important than equipment (although a half decent bike is appreciated on the trail).
    What I don't like is the absence of a helmet and the "do as I preach, not as I do" disclaimer. Yes, some of us are adults, we are responsible for our own safety and take our own risks, but the combination mentioned above just doesn't work for me.
    Keep it up, but please consider using a lid.

    by the way. I noticed one thing that hurt my bunnyhop was that instead of pulling up my front wheel by leaning back. I pulled up the front wheel by bending my arms and bringing it up to my chest. This actually hurt a lot of a my bikes skill so what you need to make sure to learn that you have to lean your weigh back and only bend your arms a little. that way you have more control and space to move the bike around under you.

    Your bike frame is bending a little too- so it gives you additional preload ;)
    btw i cant pull my rear wheel up :( i think thats because my bike is little too big :/

    • @piciu256
      @piciu256 9 лет назад +1

      +Piotr Sulej actually, i did it :D it was only matter of changing shoes to grippier ones :D

    • @veezoxyt9571
      @veezoxyt9571 9 лет назад +1

      +Piotr Sulej - As much as I want to say congrats, if you achieve bunny hopping by "pulling" your back wheel up works but is not considered as good technique as weight transfer that lifts the back wheel.

    • @piciu256
      @piciu256 9 лет назад +1

      unfortunelly for other way is impossible :/

    • @veezoxyt9571

    Thanks Seth. I went out today and busted my ass and I am finally making some progress with the bunny hop. I watched all the vids a ton of times and devoted today to do nothing but nail this trick. I am not great at it yet but absolutely can see my progress from your instructions.

    Sweet hops bro. I'm 250 pounds at the moment, and a little out of shape. I just got a Trek Xcaliber 7 2018 model. Right now I'm just putting miles on it to drop weight, but as soon as I do, I'm using your tips to learn to bunny hop. Unless you think incam start right now. It might help me to lose weight too with all the enerygy thats being used to try this over and over again. Thank you so much for the video.

    • @SeForeVers
      @SeForeVers 4 года назад

      Yeah I mean, I go up and down like every 2 years and it's really not that hard to lose weight if you do something fun. The first time I did swimming, then cycling and running, really anything works( although going from 70kg to 100kg and back three times now left me with some weird looking stretch marks)

    Just picked up my first MTB - 2011 Specialized Comp Stumpjumper FRS (26") Medium. I'm 5'6" and in mid 50's. Having trouble with hopping and raising rear tire. Appears to be common for newbies. LUV your vids! Slo Mo really helps! Best on YT. I see that I'm not preloading enough or correctly and I need to lower my seat (its at hip height). Probably should have purchased a hartail first.

    @r.powell2351 8 лет назад

    I had a cross country hardtail and couldn't get the bike much more than about six or eight inches off the ground. But once I switched to a bike that was more trail oriented, with steeper geometry, I found it MUCH easier to hop higher. It made a huge difference.

    The technically minded thank you for the steps explained. I like your use of slowing it down and walking through the thought process. Very helpful. At 6'4" 190lb leg weak I've cheated for too long by only using upper body. Time to get my hop on. Thanks again for this and all your other videos!

    Excellent tutorial Seth my dude!
    Even without front suspension we still compress with our arms and obviously that compresses the front tire somewhat too. And with a fat bike you might need a little more pressure in the tires to ride street or on rocky ground. It gives more pop than when they're really squishy.

    Thank you again for another awesome video. I went out to screw around on my bike tonight, and I tried some bunny hopping. I failed a few times, and then remembered you said to pull the handlebars like a summbitch towards your chest. I tried that, I must have popped the bike a foot off the ground. This shit works man.

    @rensellvalencia7179 Год назад

    For people on a hardtail going to this video
    when preloading while on the way up just preload and moving back to raise the front will only lift it a few inches(unless you have a very light bike)
    when it starts moving up and you move back as well pull back and slightly up to move the front wheel higher (brace for rear breaks for it can make you loop out if unprepared)
    Wear a helmet and practice on FLAT ground only until you nailed it on flat then slowly go for highwr and higher objects
