How to Do a Bunny Hop on a Bike

Video Transcript

"Hey this is Jeff from the Two Wheeler Dealer. Today I'm going to show you how to perform a bunny hop on a bike. First thing you want to do is basically get in a comfortable position just pedaling along. You want to stand up off of the seat, get your pedals positioned at about a ninety degree angle opposite each other. You're going to basically kind of squat back over the rear wheel behind the seat, shifting your body weight more towards the rear axle. And at the same time you're going to basically lift up on the handlebars kind of like you're going to do a wheelie. As the handlebars starts to come up, you rapidly shift your body weight up and forward towards the handlebars to get the lift of the rear wheel off of the ground. And you should be able to set it back down. If you're a beginner to this stunt, I would definitely recommend using proper safety gear. Helmet for sure, possibly elbow pads and knee pads, and possibly perform it in a soft area in the grass. You know, bunny hop can come in handy in many different situations, if it be riding around the city, you need to hop up a curb, or out in the woods needing to get the extra clearance to clear a log. Very useful, very useful skill to have. And that's how to perform a bunny hop."
