  Probably my favorite single MTB technique. Clearing big trail features and obstacles, boosting jumps, finding doubles, creating style - the bunny hop is #1!

  I really like these little “tip” videos that give you something to think about when jumping / hopping or whatever, and often is the difference between just going through the actions, and making the skill work . Very very helpful , thank you .

  I can vouch to the importance of filming yourself. You may not realize your mistakes until you watch yourself doing it

  Unlike 99% of MTB YouTubers, you explain the little details differently, and more accurately. <br>Massive points for breaking it down into sections, and keeping it succinct.

  This is a really helpful video. I’ve been stuck in trials hop land for a long time. Have tried to bunny hop but could never get the timing right. Followed the steps in the vid earlier and it worked! Was able to bunny hop over 6-8” objects within an hour. Excited to keep progressing it 🙏

  Dude, just went to try some of your tips and let me tell you, it works. I went from barely lifting the front wheel of the ground, to actually doing a bunny hop about foot and a half up in the air in the matter of one hour.

  Another great video Josh. I&apos;ve been having an issue with jumping off the pedals and leaving the bike. I have also been faking it with a trials hop. I can see now I was focusing on trying to scoop the pedals. Your explanation makes perfect sense, focus on heels down. Thanks man.
