Nice one dude..you sound like the late jim henson(kermit the frog on sesame street) :-D
This is probably the most beginner friendly tutorial for bunny hopping ever
Agree 200%, exactly what I was thinking!
True🙏🙏
Love it
Yeah agreee
Finally, I have found your tutorial! I've watched so many other videos, but this is the best! Thanks for sharing!
It's often so much more useful to see tutorials from people like you who are relatively new to a skill rather than people who have so much expertise that they can't even remember what it was like not knowing the skill. Thanks!
This is an excellent sign that VanCan is great at explaining how to learn a skill. Cause he ain't new at it. :) But i know exactly what you mean. The lucky ones who learned to ride bikes as kids learned all of this in a very different way than most adults. Most of us aren't willing to sacrifice our bodies over and over again to learn skills quickly, which means we require more of an analytical break down of how to learn the skill and what to do every step of the way. Totally agree with you!
@@MrTonka Yeah, I realized after I posted that I may have misinterpreted how new VanCan was to bunny hopping. His ability to explain how he worked through the learning process himself is pretty unique among tutorials. Too many instructors go straight to demonstrating perfect form and ignore the baby steps that it takes to get to that point.
@@jpsinger16 Absolutely. I learn WAY better when it's explained like this.
Yeah, this guy actually knows something about pedagogical techniques. Explaining things broken up into a lot of digestible cpieces for example. Also learning in this piece-sized steps. An example of "well-meant but way to skilled and not pedagogical sound" is Phil Kmetz. He is really friendly and tries to improve his audiences skills, but that guy did his first backflip on skis at age of 8 or 9 IIRC. So he was way out of our league in terms of body control even before he had passed primary school. And I noticed that in his tutorials. ;)
Your shadow looks like a person who's wearing a graduation cap
Franz Escuzar Oh my gosh you’re so right
I guess from the bunny hop academy
Lmfao never noticed
lol
Franz Escuzar I had to rewind it and now I’m just lmao! Too funny!
Learning to Bunnyhop is probably one of the most useful Mountain bike skills out there! Great video Nic as always!
Thanks Mo! Can’t beat a good bunnyhop!
Well in my first try getting the back wheel off the ground I flipped over my handlebars and sprained both wrists. But the tutorial is super beginner friendly, I'm just dumb, and I'll be trying again when my wrists are better
Did the same here, underestimated my front break
F
Note to self - thank you for the warning
Dude, you're so underated
Thanks! I think, haha
No, I mean it. I have yet to find more genuine and relatable advice anywhere. Keep it up!
Well thanks for the kind words!!
I was surprised how much sense that made: front wheel then rear, increase the speed and feel the movements coming closer, then together. You may have switched on my (proverbial) light bulb - thank you.
I really appreciate your way of teaching man, like not having impossible tricks every other scene. Really refreshing. Very nice to see people sharing their starting progress so you don't loose your encouragement. Thanks!
What a grey beauty you have beside you. 🤙🏻
the bike looks very good, too
It's only 2500
Is that a Capra?
@@lukedhoffman12 only? I could buy 10 of my bikes with that much money
dusty harris 2018 Capra ;)
im staring at bike in the whole video
what bike is that?
@@mpumelelongwenya5412 it's probably the canyon torque. I don't know which version it is.
@@inkev7536 Its obviously not the Canyon Torque. Instead it is the YT Industries 27 AL Base Concrete Gray and its not even that expensive for looking very good.
@@The_Dude_420 oh.I didn't know that. Well sorry?
@@inkev7536 No need to say sorry my friend, i just wanted to write down the right bike so Mpumelelo knows how to find it.
This is actually the best "how to" with bunny hops coz this video seems to talk directly to those who wants to learn and not those who already knows how to do them.
Just did a small bunnyhop thanks to this video! Also.. Nice music!
Be nice to see a credit or link for the music
This is exactly what every beginner should follow. @VanCan you broke down the whole technique into such simple steps that everybody could follow. Can't wait to get back on my bike and do a refresher (almost gave up last time).
I have those same 510 sneakers. I love them.. they can Pass as regular sneakers if they didnt make so much noise when walking. Great video thanks
Well they aren't sneakers if you can't sneak with them, now they're louders
@@Sabyoficial 🙄😂😂
Saby, you SOAB 😂
Nice video.
Good explanations and excellent humility. And even with the disclaimer that "it isn't quite the perfect technique/process etc" you produce results. And I bet a ton of new riders can replicate it. Well done!!
This is the exact sequence I used to learn the bunny hop a few years ago. Definitely recommend this process
Thank u so much Nic,i have watched a lot a lot of videos on how to bunny hop but just beacuse of u today i learned how to bunny hop and im super happ.thank u again,best video ever
That’s awesome!! Glad I could help!
Best tutorial for a bunny hop! You nicely explained some things what I think many people struggle with.
I have watched alot of how to Bunny Hop videos, your video was really useful and after watching and trying your steps, I’m now a-lot better at them, thanks for posting
Where were you man... This is probably the best tutorial on RUclips... Friendly.. Clear and just simple ..thanks
Thank you sir,
You made me go back to learning the bunnyhop, all those tutorials I have seen and didn’t work for me ,
Going to give this a try,
It helps me a lot when I think I'm still a kid learning. Having fun and not stressing out if you I can't do it.
صباح
Many thanks to you for posting this. I rode mountain bikes a lot in the '90s and read many articles on how to bunny hop but none of them managed to get their message across to me. It just never clicked.
I got back into mountain bikes again a few years ago and have watched many videos that, while going into more detail, also failed to work for me.
And then I watched yours. And after a couple of days trying the steps I actually got the front up followed by the back a few times. If there had been a fly on the ground I would have cleared it : ) A small start but, for me, an important one.
I have to add to your comment about grippy pedals and say I agree 100%. Unfortunately, when you don't concentrate properly and try several hops in succession it can lead to a foot slipping off. And when you do this twice in two days and hit exactly the same spot with your RF Chesters I can testify than it hurts like......... I'll let everyone use their own phrase here.
I've seen handful of very good videos on YT for beginners and I'll actually come back to them. But I still had problems figuring out the bunnyhop until I saw your video. It was _just_ the thing I needed to see. @2:57 of your video was my breaking point. On the way to work I practiced lifting the rear wheel, on the way back I was doing bunnyhops ( sounds like a commercial, lol ). And I was using my "work bike".
Really thank you for this video -- you helped me move forward.
Awesome!
Today I've tried learning bunny hop for the first time and I'm surprised that it's easier for me to lift the rear wheel off ! I think I'm scared of falling on my back when I try with the front wheel !
Thank you very much for this tutorial suitable for beginners 💯☺️
I've always wanted to learn bunnyhop and watched a ton of videos on this. I think I'm at the 3rd step of your way of learning this trick. Thanks a ton for a humble and practical video illustration. I would love more from you 🙂
seen a lot of bunny hop tutorials on the web and I think this is the best I've seen. The front first, then back hop, gradually becomes single motion when you add the speed totally makes perfect sense. Will try this tutorial. thanks a lot, good sir.!
Simple and effective. I just learned how to wheelie from scratch after 7 days and I'm 40! lol Now I'ma Bunny hop! :D
Videos like these really helps. Thank you!
Dude, you are a legend. Most tutorials have an expert that learned a few years ago, you have just recently learned it so this is amazing
I actually learned to bunny hop about 12 years ago haha
Literally the best bunny hop video, awesome job, thanks dude.
I really like this video because it just made me feel like I could do it from someone who worked hard at doing it. When I see the bigger channels and their ex pro riders show me how to do it for some weird reason it just makes me feel like I have to be that guy to do it and the way this video was presented actually made me think for the first time that it could be something I can learn.. It's odd and totally mental, but I finished watching this with hope that I will be able to figure this out.. Thanks.
This is the bible for bunny hop. The reality and the expectation in one put together. Explaining it like this is like chicken soup for beginners. Do some more man! You’re awesome! Subbed
Your advice is very helpful to me. I'm learning just to hop and your step-by-step progession is great!
2 years now are you able to do a bunnyhop perfectly?
After watching this I've dedicated at least an hour a day. It's been only 2 days but the improvement is very real. I used to do the "incorrect" hop but I did that thing where you ride the front wheel over a curb than the back. I feel like another 10 hours and I'll have it down better. Thanks
Awesome!
Watching your videos I'm getting that all these things take time to learn. And that is so important!
After most videos on youtube I get frustrated after number of fails - 'You know, you just pull the front wheel and then the rear wheel and that's it", it's like they learned that thing in a day or so.
Keep going!
Thank you so much for the tip VanCan. I just moved to flats after 20 years on clipless pedals. This will certainly help my transition. Cheers..!😃👍🏽
This has got to be the best vid for the bunny hop out there, it helped me so much. Thanks 🍻
bunny hopping up the ledge is so helpful!!!
Same here I find it very complicated to get the rear up riding Flats. Thanks for the how-to video Nic! 👍
Definitely found this the most easier one to relate to that the other 6 odd clips I found on RUclips 👌🏼
Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling and getting in my head and watching this video makes me want to put a lot more. Thank you
The ease with which you go explaining is so cool 😎
Man, such a helpful tutorial.. i wanna thank you so much for breaking this and making more practical.. i am almost there!
Clever way of breaking down the issues with it , many thanks.
Thanks! I tried something different
There are a lot of explanations for learning this, but this is easily the best I've come across! I'm stuck on #3 (two wheel Bunny Hop) but this helps me see how to get past that. Thanks!
Thanks! I tried to change things up
Well done, finaly someone who knows how to teach beginers bunnyhop :-)
Your video was useful, as I have the same struggle regarding lifting the rear wheel. I guess I know what to focus on now
Best tutorial I've seen. Realistic and to the point.
Thanks!
Thanks for this. I am at your step 3, where I can do a manual and a rear wheel lift as well as the two wheel lift. I hadn't had is suggested or been shown that the next thing to do is to just do manual and rear wheel one after the other and when they get close enough it will naturally become a bunny hop. Stay safe and cheers from Scotland.
Great video! This is better than most tutorials I have seen.
Thanks!
Explained it well. I myself scared of doing high bunny hop. But learning it also difficult for me. Nice video. I will try goin back to saddle.
The most usefull mtb video I've seen on bunny hops
good point. I learned the motion but timing is still an issue
I'll try the gradual approach
Another Awesome how to Video! I'm doing the 'two wheel hop' pretty okay now, working on getting it all together. Thanks for another Video. Look forward to the next one.
Awesome and thanks!
Hey man, I just came across your channel thanks to Reddit - this is really awesome - as others have said - it's great to hear bunnyhops being explained by someone who has learned from scratch - and your videos are so clear and easy to understand. Gonna be watching more!
Thanks! I tried to change things up from the typical how to.
Thank you very much for this video. I have a bad habit of doing the dual hop when clipped in. And I have trouble of lifting the back wheel when unclipped.
I will find a place where I can practice. I will start with a stick and keep practicing.
VanCan, I had to chime in...excellent tutorial and the experimental nature in your approach is great, refreshing and encourages learning. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words!
Well explained and demonstrated mate! Great breakdown on various methods on how a beginnner, just like me, can get it to the end. This is so far one of the best videos i've found on youtube! Good on ya!
This was easily one of, if not the best bunny hop tutorial video I have seen. Thank you.
Thanks! It’s nice to hear!
This feels like my dad teaching me how to hop my bike, if my dad actually rode mtbs. Loved it 🥰
Wow man I watched quite a lot of bunny hop videos but this one was a little different and definitely helpful. Thank you!
Love that Capra.
This was one of the best bunny hop tutorials ever tbh
Thanks!
Best Bunnyhop instruktion i ever seen! Now maybe I could learn too 😀
Thanks! Try it out!
Very helpful thank you so much! Not expected to be taught quick like the pros it’s reasonable. Gained a like easily
Another awesome novice friendly video! Thanks for sharing your skills. Your teaching skills as as good as your bike skills. Brilliant! Cheers, Al
Thanks, I found your how to video really good as like you or many beginners, it’s a beginner teaching other beginners a starting method and to get to that goal. I can’t bunny hop on flat yet but I can lift my rear. Just need more practice.
Practice is key! You’ll get it
Watched a few bunnyhop vids but this is fantastic. Much more beginner friendly.
Great vid
Thanks!
This is probably the best tutorial I have seen on Bunnyhops thank you it is been very helpful
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Subscribed!👍 Great teacher,best bunny hop tutorial I've seen yet! Well done!
Much more helpful than the rest of how to bunny hop videos. Thank you.
Thanks!
Great video Nic, I have watched a lot of videos on how to bunnyhop and yours is the most cleared explained and easy to practice, I have finally done step 2 and I am amazed how easy it is after practice. I am in a good track thanks from Gdl Mexico 👍🏼
Awesome! Glad to hear things are coming along. Keep at it!
This is the best bunny hop tutorial by far for average joe!
Thanks!
Chillest tutorial on how to bunny hop! I subed.
Thank you for making this video, i'm a beginner and so far can only do the single all at once hop. your video made a lot of sense and I can't wait to try what you have shown me. Thank you
Dude this is hands down the best bunny hop tutorial
As always - the most important thing is to go out and practice!
One thing that can really really help with the rear wheel lift, as well as jumps and bunny hops, is the stomp, a quick preload\push into the pedals. So you can actually use the suspension. You're actually doing it in this video on the "two-wheel bunnyhop" or level lift, so its there, just start using it at an earlier stage to lift the front wheel and rear wheel separately.
Thanks for the video, really good insights on how to progress starting from the basics.
I remember my first hop over a decade ago still... I decided to lean super far forward over the bars and pull up. That got all wheels of the ground, from there you just gradually work on it till it's more natural
This video actually work my bunny hop is high
Learned bunny hop during my bmx days, basically same thing with mtb but much heavier
Need to perfect this move and the manual before summer. Thanks for sharing Nic awesome video. Wish I could ride with you in the North Shore or Squamish. 👍🏼
Maybe I’ll do a group ride in the spring!
Cool I'm gonna try it out right now
Like this. Nice to see personal perspective as we all learn differently.
Thanks!
This video is actually so good. It works!
There are hundreds of how to bunny hop videos out there, but I like the simple and practical approach you took. Great video! 👍🏽
Thanks!
Wow
This was amazing. Getting tips from people who faced the same hardships as noobs like me
Bro this is the only video that actually helped me get it
I’m watching literally ever video on how to bunny hop
Thanks for being a part of it
Same
I've been saying I need to learn to bunny hop for a while; and it honestly comes down to practice time. Just need to visit a parking lot...
Excellent tips.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks. 😊
Thanks, i learned it after a week
Good video, I have no problem with the 2 wheel bunny hop its just the "Correct way" I have a problem with because I have been doing the two wheel one for so long its just trying to reprogram my brain for the motion of the new one and getting out there and practicing.
Great advice ta. It’s finally starting to make sense!
Very good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
3:36 its like you have a graduation cap wearing on the shadow behind you
this was a very helpful video
Best tutorial I’ve seen so far. Sick
Thanks!
