I did my first really good bunny hop the other day, not bad for a 64 year old! When Specialized and SRAM sort out my brake problem I can start riding properly.
You make it look so easy, I don’t unfortunately, I will practise. I cycle the Pentland hills near Edinburgh every day since I started mtb in September l’m 59 and ride a Scott e strike After dark is really exciting
Will take my Levo out for my first ride today. Certainly won´t try bunny hops or manuals with it for now. :-D But i will begin with practicing some of the lesser complex things shown. :-)
Chris great vid! Nice to be by the sea, must be hard on the bikes thought (salt air). There is no way you had 40psi in the rear. Does that lack of psi help on slow speed maneuvers like in the vid?
Hi, I am 52 years old, little experience with MTBs and I want to start in the world of emtb. What is your opinion of the trek rail 7? any other suggestions. Excellent channel !!!! keep up the good work
Franzo Marruffo ; You night have fun on a emtb. I think these little skills are important for us to practice or accomplish at our age. We need to know our way around a slightly heavier bike. Balancing, bunny hop, manual and nosing can be practiced in private. I ride the Trek rail 9.7 with less experience than you. If we practice enough we might overcome the fear-factor and the fear of failing. Just protect those brittle bones and know our limitations. With each ride my confidence slightly increases.
Where are you going to practise these skills?

Swaggerlot nice one fella 👍
I just sold my MTB and ordered an eMTB, so now I'm just practicing my waiting skills...
I love my E bike, great video Chris,many thanks
Went to a skate park for the first time in my life last month, aged 47, to practice my eBike skills!
Chris great video, keep me all healthy and continue to be so positive!
This is great motivation for NZ lockdown, i know what ill be doing in the garage tomorrow
Great place to practise your skills!
Same for me in Australia
Also this is my plan, but I've begun with the lighter XC acoustic bike
pay attention to your ceiling height before bunny hopping :D
I really appreciate you showing these fundamental skills, next step will be to do them in trail conditions - Thanks!
With the current circumstances this is a great vid to put out Chris. Hope the finger is recovering well.
Fantastic advice. I've always used these techniques rolling down, but I suppose with the e-power, any incline is an option. Great video!
Chris always coming at us with some sick skills or something new every video give this guy a pay rise already !
You make it look so easy
chris has quite a good bunny hop

Great vid , just back to biking so very helpful ,I think I need a pad set lol
great skills , how's the finger .
Chris Smith , what exactly happened?
I really want a e bike I have been on my friends and I live in a really hilly environment so it would be really useful hope fully I can get one soon
3:44 Is that "specialized" frame just bend and make the rear tire turning right and make front tire heading left ?
ouuuch,, after replying about hundreds time, than i see that rim spoke just flexing.
is that normal with every mountain bike ?

I didn't even know the trackstand was a thing, I've been doing that for years without knowing it 😅
Just built a manual machine, so hopefully will get better at that
How low is the pressure on your rear tyre? When you load it, it almost flattens to the rim.
Do you need to run really low tyre pressure to start with? On the video yours looks almost flat under load?

Can you bunny hop if you only have front weel suspension?
If anything it will be easier
I tried a thousand times to do a manual with my scott e-genius but it's definitely impossible 😞
Finale ligure aaahh??
와우 정말 멋져요!!!!

You got to stop jonesy beating you in you trails videos have a game of street trials revenge will be sweet 🤟🏼
Sorry wrong time to be realising a video like this ! Should have waited !! Good video wrong time 😢
You can practise these skills in your garden or garage! Any small space really 😎
Electric Mountain Bike Network maybe it would be worth doing something in that environment?? 😊👍
