I've been riding for years but never really learned the basics, these tutorials have all been great. The fact that you actually are teaching someone who's making a lot of the same mistakes I do really makes your videos vastly better than 99% of the other videos where someone who's been doing these things since childhood is trying to explain something they don't even remember not being able to do. Keep them coming!
That is so cool to hear! Thank you :)
That's the perfect way to put it, agree 100
Agree too! This how You explain basics is very understandable for beginners 😉 keep going!
Nicely said!
totally agree, I think the thing for me is that not everyone rides a full sus and the motion is probably a tiny bit different. So thanks for these videos seeing someone who has never done a bunny hop do one relatively easily after practice is quite motivating too!
I’m literally in a nearby parking lot watching this and trying it out.
Haha that's awesome Brian!
Same
Has it worked out yet
Same it didn't help
Me too
I'm a 50 year old guy that fell in love with mountain biking just a few years ago. Your videos have helped me tremendously and have me excited to go play on my bike in the street. (I feel like my neighbors are judging me. Lol) Thank you@
That is awesome! Let them judge haha, our neighbors thing we are weird too haha
They won't be judging after they see a 50 year old guy do a 50" bunny hop or a 50' wheelie!
Keep at it!
I am not that young anymore mi self, and mi neighbours are watching me weird also. I just dont give a thing. Some ppl laugh at me some dont. Life its to short to give a damn about that sh..
I am having so much fun practicing on mi atreet trial and i won’t let anyone take that from me. Keep up doin what makes u feel alive.
Also in my early 50's, Scott. I can almost hear my neighbours sniggering when I got out in all my kit. Ya know what though? It doesn't matter. We're exercising, we're doing what we loves, and we're old enough not to give a flying toss what anyone thinks :)
Dude. The sticking your chin past the stem. That was it for me. I could sorta manual. And sorta bunny hop but struggled to get the front wheel high enough to get a serious bunny hop. That immediately fixed it. Thank you so much, A+ coaching
Right on! That is so awesome!!
The tenor of so much social media is negative and every time I watch these videos I feel so positive and stoked about going out and learning new skills. Keep up the great work!
I'm so glad! We try our best to keep things positive and supportive :) Thanks!
Dude, hands down you guys have the best tutorials!
Wow, thanks!
@@AprilRideMTB What BeerBikes And Bourbon said is true
So far, I concur!! They share details that are important like for example the arm movements. And well edited.
Kyle you deliver the instructions without being patronising or condescending, with a genuine sense of sharing, it is wonderful to hear. April you are so receptive to Kyles' advice and instruction you listen patiently and with great focus. It is a pleasure to try to put your suggestions into practice in my riding and move beyond old habits. Congrats and thanks.
Thanks so much Timothy! We really appreciate your nice comment, helps motivate us to make more videos!
Why am I internally cheering when she makes it? lol
Love the vids.
Haha probably because we have all been there and remember those feelings of stoke when you get something new :)
Watching a person actually learn these skills in a video is great. I'd love to see follow up videos for each skill to see how things progress and can be improved.
Thanks! yeah we will do some follow up videos soon too!
SKIBIDI TOILET
As a visual learner I really appreciate you adding in little things like reference lines for hips and rear axel. It helps put things into perspective and drive home the important body mechanics that are needed for these skills.
Thats awesome feedback! Thanks for always having the nicest comments Lok
i love how patient and supportive you are. the fact that your model is someone who is actually learning and not already a master helps so much as well. you're a good teacher and i can't wait to practice these tips.
Thanks so much Rachel, we hope you see improvement!
Yeah I know before they were all really good at it and messing up but they are genuinely learning
I'm watching this in pajamas and having my morning cup of tea locked down in quarantine, that hyped me to dress up, take out the bike and shred my garden. Right now.
Yes! That's awesome you got motivated. There are a lot of things you can practice at home!
We hope this video get you all bunny hopping in no time! Feel free to ask any questions below! Thanks so much for all the support!
no one:
Me:uhh ok
Is it possible to do with front suspension bike ? Rockrider st540 ... plz reply
Love you both 😍
From india
Do you have anything else that could help I can’t seem to get my back wheel up I used all the tips though
I thought I could bunny hop until I saw this video but I am finding my technique is completely wrong. I can’t manual & so I am completely missing out on shifting my weight back over the rear axle. I can muscle the front end up by compressing over the front wheel & pulling straight up. The problem I guess is that I’m allowing my speed to carry the rear over the object & not the proper technique.
Totally smiled when she cleared that box the first time. Made it look easy and showed really good progress. Lucky to be coached by someone with so much patience and encouragement who also knows his stuff.
Thank you JP :)
This is awesome! My first video to watch of yours. I've been mountain biking since the early 1990's and have never been any good at bunny hopping. Gonna give these drills a try and see how I do! Thanks Kyle and April!
That is awesome! Thank you!! It was fun chatting with you the other night!
Did it work
This video got me from practicing slightly wrong technique, not getting it and being frustrated, thinking I was never going to get it, to doing it properly in about 5 goes - as others have said, great to see a beginnner being coached and progressing - it makes it so much easier for us other beginners! Great series guys, love your work!
Thank you Vaughan, glad you saw progress after watching this!
First time I saw the video of April doing manuals on 1st attempt I said "ok easy, I can do better". I sat on my bike and realized that April is much more talented than me! :(
Your videos are really really good, Kyle is very patient in teaching all the details
haha thank you! Yeah she is really talented and makes it super easy to coach :)
She is way more talented than me too, and much stronger. I can't even do it as well as she does at the start, and I have been struggling with it for years. I don't have the explosive power to make it work.
I've always loved riding my Bike but you make me want to ride more and learn more skills on the Bike. Thank you
Thats so cool! That makes me smile!
This entire tutorial series with April is so amazing! Kyle is such a supportive , patient teacher. It's amazing to have a pro be so genuinely excited over baby steps in basic skills. This also sets the right expectations of progress for the learner , and above all, to really have fun!
Would love to see advanced coaching series for the same skills once April has had time to internalise and have a bit of fun in the future.
Absolutely love the content and positive and caring tutoring.
Thank you :) Yeah we are having a lot of fun with it and are hoping we can keep it going for a while!
Man something that I like a lot is that you keep saying "great job" and " you are doing great" and It keeps her excited about learning more. Keep sending those "How to" Kyle, loving the channel.
Thank you Cesar :)
These have been some of the best tutorial videos. Breaking the steps down into separate drills make it seem so much more manageable. As a long time road biker moving to trail riding this has been so helpful.
Happy to help! Thank you so much for the comment too!
I get so pumped on 1. Kyle's advice 2. April absorbing said advice and her progression and 3. getting to go do it myself! This channel is exactly what I need!
Thats awesome! Thanks so much for watching!!!
What I love about your videos that not many others do, is that your giving us the view of experience from a beginner who doesn’t know how to do these tricks, it then allows us to relate and see any difficulties that your girlfriend is going through. Thank you so much, keep up the great work.
Thats so cool to hear, thank you!
Kyle & April - Ride Mtb all good.
This girl has got serious skills and determination. Plus you’re a good instructor. Very patient 👍🏻
Thank you :)
Thanks, guys. You're so positive and inspiring. Trying to learn how to bunny hop myself to teach my 4 yo kid. He just loves his bike, so I feel kinda obliged to inspire him to expand his experience beyond just riding around.
Thats so awesome! Thanks Pavel!
Another great video! Many others have said it, but watching you give April instruction and then watching her learn the technique is soooo much better than just watching a pro make it look easy. Then your review of her progress and adding tips on how to improve just makes it even better. You guys make a great team, your coaching style is amazing and I sincerely hope you realize how much you’re helping so many others. I’m 62 and only rode road bikes till I got my first MTB a year ago, I’m hooked and am constantly working on improving. Wheelies, Manuals and drops are coming along pretty well, bunny hops are next! I’ve been to a couple clinics, but I swear I learn as much from your videos as I have from the clinics.
Thank you so much Dave :) We have had a lot of fun making these for you guys!
My husband has been on the journey of teaching me how to mountain bike and it’s been really great to watch these videos. He’s the Kyle, I’m the April, and everything he’s been teaching me comes together and makes so much more sense while watching! Going step by step from square one has helped a lot!!! Please keep it up! Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Patience, confidence and a Good teacher... Really Love this couple...👍
Thank you! :)
This is the first time a bunny hop video has actually made any real sense to me! I can’t wait to try. (edit) -> Also, these videos have all been super helpful. I currently work in the bike industry so lots of the people I’m around are quite advanced. It’s really nice to see April making progress because that means I can improve too! So glad I found your channel.
Yay! Thank you! :)
You are making by far the best mtb skill teaching videos with an outstanding didactical value! I am finally making progress because you' are analysing and correcting the beginners approach. April is very talented though and a fast learner. Great inspiring teamwork. Thank you!
Glad to help! Thanks for sharing :)
You’re a great teacher. I’ve watched dozens of videos and yours is the one that makes the most sense in learning how to bunny hop. Thanks.
You are so welcome! Thanks!
I love it when you summaries things, and when you ask April what did she feel was most important.
Bringing in someone who doesn’t know and training them to do it in front of camera and finally getting their inputs is a big confidence booster for me.
Next challenge: Fireball, it’s time for “Parking lot bunny hops”!
Thats so cool to hear :) thank you so much for the nice comment!
Hey man, I have watched many of your tutorials, and they have helped me greatly. I have finally understood the manual technique(After watching that video) and been able to apply it. After Years of trying! Thank you for your amazing helpful content
Glad to help! Thanks so much for watching!!
The best pedals to learn on is flats. Do not learn to bunny hop on clipless pedals! You will get the wrong technique
Yeah I totally agree!
SO true! Actively lifting the bike by pulling your feet up when clipped in is actually called the "piggy hop", since it's _way_ less effective and not as graceful.
Clipless? But doesnt it have clips
Cat Loaf yes it’s very strange, it originated from the day when clipped in pedals had straps, and if you had clips instead of straps, it would be considered “clip less”
@@Catloaf87 Clipless pedals have cleats not clips, therefore "clipless".
Clips are the metallic (sometimes plastic) part screwed on a regular (flat) pedal that form sort of a hook where the foot is inserted, and the strap then secures the connection.
Still used in track cycling.
Kyle, you have amazing patience, great teaching dude. I'm over 50 and am watching your vids to learn better MTB riding.
Thank you so much!
You are a great teacher. Thank you for breaking it down into different drills/tips. This has helped me tremendously.
You are so welcome!
Perfect energy into your vids. You both bring a lot of good vibes in learning.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you!!
I've seen many bike instructional videos and there is definitely something about watching progression AND your teaching style, Kyle. If you worked in the school, you'd be teacher of the year in short order.
Haha thanks, that means a lot :)
LITERALLY LITERALLY the best explanation on how to bunny hop! This vid is LITERALLY so helpful! Keep up the good work guys!🔥❤
Thank you two for your videos! April is so adorable & takes directions very well but not only are you showing people how to do bike stuff but also partly how to make a relationship work & build together! That makes it so much stronger, much 💘
Thank you so much!
I’ve watched other bunny hop videos and I haven’t been able to do it. Seeing April make the same mistakes I do is what really helped me. Thanks guys
You are so welcome! I hope this one helps!
These videos are awesome! Some of the best tutorials I've found on YT for mtb basics
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Really like how Kyle explains each step and provides a drill to practice. Took some time for me to be able to put all 3 steps in motion, but starting to get the hang of it. Thanks Kyle (and April).
You are one of the best, if not the best instructor on RUclips. Kudos to April for risking her life to help you prove it.
Old fart (61+) that never rode anything like the challenges I see in the Texas Hill Country. These videos are amazing because trying to teach myself has not led to great results! These really teach the basics that I can never teach myself through "trial and failure". And having your great positive coaching, and a subject, April, who has real fear and then success is uplifting. Love it!!!
Thank you so much for such an nice comment, we are having a blast making these for you guys!
Your videos are exactly what my boys and I needed, to figure out what we were missing in drops, bunnyhops, wheelies and so on. W greatly appreciate your thorough instructions! Great teachers!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching :)
I just turned 58 and am really enjoying your videos. The step by step how to's have me ready to learn to manual and to improve my bunny hops.
That is so rad!!! Congrats!
Best instructional video for the bunny hop I have seen. You break it down into the basic elements and show the critical points for the entire process. Thank you so much!!
Kyle and April:
1) another fantastic videos... keep em coming love watching it
2) Kyle... u teach it in a way that's easy to digest
3) I dont think I will nearly be as skilled as April
4) u guys are such a great looking couple... cheers!
You rock! Thank you so much for the kind comment :)
i love when he says "that was very good" literally every time she does anything :)
haha trying to be supportive, if you have ever coached your significant other you know that the positivity goes a lonnnng way
I have a question wish you can advise. Do I need to master manual before practising bunny hop?
@@waylonwo372 no definitely you don't have to master manual to be able to do bunny hop the only thing you have to be able to do is pulling up your front wheel
The way you break down the components of the bunny hop technique - especially the part about getting the front wheel up and being patient - is the clearest explanation I have seen and heard. Thanks! Now, I gotta go try it.
Thats awesome! I really hope it helps! Thanks for watching Ken :)
April's pony tail is a perfect wind vane. In slow or stopped motion, it shows precise technique moments at when she ascends, travels in the air and then descends!
haha never noticed that! Nice spot!
These are by far the best tutorials for mountain biking and refining the basics! I am so excited for this series and how you two work together. Like a few other comments in here, I got into mountain biking a few years ago and love it but never learned any of the basics. I've watched endless of videos on tutorials and technique but the pros never break it down to something realistic like this. For the first time since I started riding my mountain bike, I stopped and got on asphalt to just work on basics like bunny hopping, cornering, etc and I'm excited to try them on the trails! Great content! Keep up the amazing videos positive energy!
That's awesome to hear, thanks for sharing! Comments like this keep us motivated :)
I love these! You can see her progression and it helps.
Thanks :)
You and April need to keep rocking and sharing the stoke with your how-to videos! Love seeing going from ground zero to the next level. You’re keeping this new rider (54 yrs old) inspired!
More to come! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Been riding since 1984; and these are by far the best tutorials that I've come across; I love the way that you break down each of the components; and show the progression; and repeat both real time, and slow; and break down the steps. I love the way that you preface, with what she does right, what she struggles with - I, too was trying too hard on the drops, and was hucking them... and wouldn't you know it, 30 years ago, when I used to just do them, I probably just did precisely that - I didn't overthink or try to hop them -- I probably just rode off them! It's as I've aged and gotten away from fun, and errred towards an overabundance of caution (and not trying!) that I've actually ingrained some bad habits, and unlearned some natural things, and picked up a bunch of sloppy, unnatural stuff. Other folks have put up videos, and they try and break it down, and they focus on parts of the skill... but sometimes fail to break it all down, and it get's super confusing. You have removed all of the confusion; and I have re-learned, with your drills!
So Thank-you, BOTH!!! Rock On!!!
Awesome to hear Jason, we are glad that our videos are helpful for you :)
You and April make it look so easy, but I’m getting a great workout in trying to practice 😅
Yeah editing really speeds up the process haha these usually take us 3-4 hours to film and April is so tired by the end!
Hey guys, just wanna say a big thank you all the way from South Africa! Been watching your tutorials and although I've been riding for a long time I realised again you are never to old to learn new tricks. You guys inspire me to try new things and hit some jumps I've been avoiding since I ate to much dust because of them. Kyle, your down to earth, practical teaching style is great and the way you treat April is amazing. Good job. April you are an inspiration! Your teachability is great and you are real brave trying all these new things. You are a great couple and I wish you all the best
Thanks so much for the genuine compliment Christiaan! We agree that you can always learn or improve your skills no matter how long you have been riding!
I’m going through all the older videos and love watching April improve lol! Y’all have an awesome attitude!!
Hi Kyle & April, Thanks for putting these videos together. I sometimes struggle to get my wife out on the trails with me. She watched a couple of your tutorials last Saturday and joined me and our boys on Sunday. She had a good time and I think part of that is because of what she learned from you. Your teaching approach and focus on the fundamental elements are the best combination I've seen on RUclips. Well Done!
That is so awesome! We are so stoked to be helping people enjoy it more and hopefully we can continue to do so :)
Damn April is a quick learner! I think you're short-selling yourself by posting these instructionals for free on RUclips - they're that good. I'm sorry I'm that old guy that keeps commenting, but your videos are right on. In the early 80s we used progressively bigger 2-by's on edge for practice runs (2X4, 2X6, etc). The bunny hop was a critical skill practiced in Austin on the steps of the Capital and on the new (then) Hill of Life access on the Barton Creek Greenbelt trail.
Thats so cool! I actually lived in Austin for two winters, such a cool city!
OMG! April was really awesome! I will try every step that you taught in the video! Congratulation, April!
Yay! Thank you!
She's a total legend dude! And you are an absolutely great teacher. The partnership gives you a point of difference. Keep it up you two!
We appreciate that, thanks!
Awesome series: really good having Kyle’s clear instructions coupled with April’s progression and then feedback
Glad you enjoy it :)
This was a great lesson. When I was young....in the 1980s i was the first kid in my street to get a BMX. Now in my fifties I ride nearly every day on my MTB and want to push the boundaries of my skills. In regard to bunny hops, my fear is when doing a manual that i'm just gonna fall off. But i'll keep on trying. I think i've watched too many motorcycle fail videos.
That's awesome Warren, just make sure you cover your rear brake for manuals and a hot tip on bunny hops is some protection on your shins while you are learning!
The best explanation on how to bunny hop I’ve ever seen, I still can’t jump lol, however it is very helpful. Keep up the videos.
Thank you! Will do!

Great teacher, great student. Perfect way to learn a new skill, analyze the mistake, then correct it and apply it. Love your videos! You guys are helping me lots.
Glad it was helpful!
You're a good teacher, I like how you are able to break down the whole movement into parts. April is super receptive and a quick learner! Great team!
Wow, thank you!
April’s killing it !! ... this video has inspired me to try Bunny hoops again.
Thanks!!!
Another fantastic video! Kyle, you’re a fantastic coach and boy, April is a really good student. Her progression is immediate and the slo-mo is incredible. Seeing both of your techniques helps a ton. This channel is going to take off with this video series! I have trouble when two drops are in quick succession, and I’d also like help with jumping :)
Thanks so much! I promise we will get to those other topics as soon as we can too!
She is doing exceptionally great. Good job April. And thanks to Kyle for teaching!
Good job april! April's so calm
Thank you!
Keep up the awesome videos. Although you can tell that April is no newbie, as she picks things up really quickly, it's great to see someone progress from little mistakes to doing it right. Thanks you April for having the courage to show your progress and having a great attitude. Thanks Kyle for keeping it simple and the great attitude. Now if I could get these things right. Take care.
Thanks for the nice comment :) we have been having a ton of fun making these!
Great video and thank you so much for not blasting the music during the riding clips! I have the volume up to hear what is being said and so many times with other RUclipsrs they have the music volume higher which drives me crazy! Thank you for having April there, it really helps to see someone who is learning it at the same level vs seeing a pro just make it look easy. Watch out Kyle, April will be out riding you soon! 🤘🏼
Thanks! I am glad you are liking the videos :)
You are the best,,,period. The way you break every move into every single, small step is great. I instruct snowboarding and skiing and use similar methods except I don't have April. What a effective way to teach. You guys are great together. I'm learning things I couldn't get before. Thank you, Kyle and April!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for all of the kind words :) its been really fun and honestly this was never intended to be a popular thing but just to kind of document and share her progression so the fact that people are enjoying it makes us both super happy!
By FAR the best bunny hop tutorial I have ever seen. I've watched dozens and dozens. While they all are helpful, they just don't seem to help. Each one seems to have its own little twist that may work great for the instructor but just sends the viewer down another "rabbit hole" (pun intended), working on something new with no results. This video presents the basic elements of the bunny hop in a format that is simple, easy to understand and easy to follow. As a result, it is easier for the rider to put the pieces together and master these basic steps without any unnecessary and distracting complications. Thanks so much for all your great tutorials. You are as good a teacher as you are a rider, something that is pretty rare.
Another great one!April is a great student!
I think so too! Thank you :)
What a nice couple. Love the content!
Thanks so much!
Your tutorials are the best ones. Thanks for making them. Having April on the stand and showing balance points is very helpful too for understanding
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
The absolute best bike instructor on the tube hands down! Thank you!
Wow, thanks! :)
I wish I had a coach like him 😞
Same 😔
Same.
Wow. Thanks soooo much guys. What I was missing was this “slight delay” thing. Today it clicked for me and I finally can bunny hop. Yipppiiiieeeeeeeeee. Working on height next. :). Thanks again.
Glad to help! That is so rad! Congrats!!!
Jsjsjs e eheiwi=
These are the best MTB basics videos. They really strip a lot of what I do right and wrong down to really simple to components and I know what I need to do and how I need to practice to get better. Kyle you're such a great teacher!! Also, April is adorable and also so badass, everytime she made the jump my heart jumped too.
Thank you so much, I really love how approachable your instructions are for some tricks that aren't so approachable.
Thank you so much Lavinia :) Im really gald you like them! Thanks for watching!
Best explanation of bunny I’ve seen so far
Thanks! We hope it was helpful!
I see your videos.... Get motivated , take my cycle and I practice for like a hour or so and the result is I just get tired 😂😂💥
Keep it up! Its awesome you are practicing!
@@AprilRideMTB 🙂🙂
Having the feedback from someone who is in the process of learning really is a tremendous help. I always take away a few points from each of your videos to improve my (abysmal) technique.
As for having luck twice, years ago I heard something I've since taken on as mantra: "Skill is when having luck becomes habit." In that sense, was the success on the trail bike really just lucky? 😉
Well said! Thanks for watching!
I went from never doing a bunny hop to successfully hopping a stick, to hopping a log in about 30 mins after watching your vid. Thanks for the great how to! 👍🏻
That is awesome! Nice work!
I like ur toutorials because I’m pretty new to MTB and you show someone learning instead of just you, the pro just getting up on stage and nailing it. It really shows me what I’m doing right vs wrong
Thanks Zackary! We are glad our videos are relatable 😊
Omg amazing video im gonna be able to use this to make my videos better.
Hopefully this can makey channel grow.
bunny hops are highly complex movements. April can pick things up pretty quickly eh. getting this stuff dialed takes a LOT of practice!
Yeah they are for sure! Having someone like a coach to tell you what to change on each try helps so much but if i told her to just go do it on her own right now after a couple days she would struggle, building that quick muscle memory takes hundreds and hundreds of reps for sure!
Thanks for breaking down to 3 steps bc most you tubers or instructors would just teach front wheel lift, rear wheel lift and just say do it over and over until we get it. I also have to move forward right after manual and do rear wheel lift. Plus right body position before the preloading. Very well explained by Kyle. It motivates me to try after countless failures... Good job April, you get it so fast.
We are really happy to help! Its been a lot of fun doing these videos and seeing the response from you guys :)
@@AprilRideMTB Is that DJ aluminum frame? My DJ is a steel and heavier than trail bike. I can lift front wheel easier bc wheelbase is shorter. Is that why you told April to try with DJ first?
Y'all are so great! So helpful to see April learning in real time with Kyle's coaching and feedback. I'm going to share this with my friend to learn together - we both just got new bikes and are getting into riding more. I used to bike commute pre pandemic. Now working from home and getting into exploring more on my new bike. Thanks!
Hope it will help!
I've learnt everything here
Wow. April is getting so good, she's a natural. You're a good instructor Kyle.
Thank you :)
His videos have been the ones that helped me the most improving my skills so far and I have watched tons of videos on RUclips. It is how the breakdown the maneuvers that is so instructional. Also his girl friend feedback as someone truly learning it and struggling is also helpful. I could see this guys taking us in a really cool journey showing her progression in trail and going on cool bike rides and adventures deeper into the mountain bike realm.
That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing that!
So excited to learn bunny hops this morning! Thanks guys, you are an amazing teacher Kyle. Thanks for breaking it down it to bite sized chunks.
Kyle, I recently learned how to bunny hop “not master” from a wide variety of how too’s. This video exceeded them all and explains so much simple technique I have been missing. This is going to be a GREAT video for my wife as a new rider who is dying to learn some sick new tricks and techniques! And thank you April, nicely done. The Sutherlan’s *Bentonville Ar.
