Today I’m going to do one of the most search articles related to BMX on google and that’s how to bunny hop and the reason this is like the most and how-to that I’ve probably ever done is just that so many people are gonna read this post.

If they learned to bunny hop kind of makes or breaks whether they like riding BMX or they just give up on it and go try something else, like skateboarding or something else like that.

First Step

Once I started doing bunny hops and doing stuff that I could get there without having to hit a jump, I was hooked. I loved BMX and I just kept going from there.

So, in this, how-to article I’m going to teach you how to bunny hops, and you should be able to start getting both of your tires off the ground without just going like this.

You actually really start riding your bike and it’s not just being frustrating that you can’t do anything.

Something that I want to address as a lot of people thinks their bikes are either too heavy or they’re not strong enough.

If you are an adult person who wants to buy BMX bikes for adults there is no problem you face for hop your BMX bike.

So, if you think your bikes do heavy, don’t worry about it and It’s all technique. People were doing bunny hops when they had 40-pound bikes and it’s 20 years ago.

So don’t worry about that. So the first few steps that you need to make sure you do, and just riding your bike.

That’s what I mean by that is whenever you’re riding, your risks need to be kind of almost like flat with the ground. I see a lot of people when they first start riding tried to do leverage but its no need.

Make sure whenever you’re riding, you have your wrists back just a little bit, and then your pedals flat with the ground cause if you tried to do a bunny hop.

You literally don’t have any balance to go off and so make your feet flat and it’ll be way easier. And both of those tips can be applied to everything that those are just good things to pick up.

So, if you don’t take anything away from this, how to take those two tips away. Okay. So once you’re ready to start doing the bunny hop, the first thing you’re going to want to.

It’s just got comfortable, almost doing like a manual. Cause that’s how that’s the first step of a bunny hop is just pushing your body back and getting your arms out a typical bunny hop.

Whenever you first start seeing people try to do it, it’s going to look like this. You’re going to be really tense and you’re going to want to keep your weight over the front bike cause or the front of the bike, because whenever you do just a jump normally, I mean, your weights really centered in on a BMX bike.

Here what I’d suggest is whenever you’re riding on your bike and you want your feet to be in like the center of your pedal.

When don’t want it here and you don’t want your heel on the pedal and you just want the center of your foot.

Your foot can kind of wrap around it that way. Whenever you do a bunny hop, you can curl your toes.

Around the pedal, you need to use them to scoop up your back foot. So, like this, that’s all it is and that’s the whole second step is just getting your back tire off the ground with your feet.

It’s not, it has almost nothing to do with your foot.

Third Step

No bunny hop and they’ll have their back tire, literally almost touching their butt all just the third step. That’s just picking the bike up and pushing it out.

That’s where having your risks back here. It makes a lot of sense. Cause if you did that up here and you were trying to push the bike in front of you, you’re going to break your wrist.

That’s pretty much it for bunny hops guys. It’s honestly a super simple trick. If you have the steps to do it and that’s all that I gave you, that’s what I use to learn how to do.

That’s what made me get them pretty quickly. It’s just really repetition guys and like you have to be comfortable on your bike for all this stuff to come naturally.

So, the more time you put in on these and just riding your bike in general, you’ll get the feel for your bike better and you’ll know how to do it.

So, if these tips help you all, please tag your friend, guys. I’m really, the only goal of this is to get more people, riding bikes and it’s a really fun fact.

Conclusion

I really want to grow the bike scene and just see more people at the skate park and dirt jumps and stuff like that because I feel like BMX is definitely one of these smaller action sports right now.

So, if something makes sense for you all that, I didn’t do put it down in the script and then help people learn how to do it faster, and other than that go, guys.
