Hans “no way” Ray... I saw you in Vail at the Worlds circa 1994. You will always be the best trials rider ever. You were hopping around that stone statue out front and it blew my mind. Thank you for the memories and decades of awesome skills.
What a "geili Sach", lieber Hans Rey. Ich höckle in good old Switzerland und ziehe mir regelmässig Deine Beiträge rein. Meist träumt man dabei noch von den L.A. Hills im Hintergrund. Hans No Way Rey hatte ich als Poster. Heute Du siehst Du fast noch cooler aus als damals, einfach "wow". Ein Professional voll Leidenschaft, dazu mit Schalk, einfach Hammer! Nun lerne ich von einem Gleichaltrigen und nenne voller Stolz Hans No Way Rey als meinen Bike-Hero . Thanks and stay cool. Juhuu. Es Grüessli, Felice Bosshardt
Hans Rey du bist der Beste. Ich habe schon zahlreiche Tipps probiert, mit deiner Anleitung hats geklappt. Hammer und dann noch so ein sympathischer Schweizer. Danke und Grüße aus dem Zürcher Weinland
A lot of getting bunnyhops right is getting the timing right to lift your feet out of the way so the bike can leave the ground. Your feet really are just guiding the bike in the air (The idea of scooping the bike up with your back foot is doing almost nothing to help lift), all the work to lift the bike was already done when you pushed into the ground with your feet to start the front wheel lift.
I have only an e-bike for enduro riding. You thing I can learn bunny hop on it from the beginning or I should find another lighter bike for learning and only when I master it switch to my heavy e-bike? Thank's for the video Hans!
Thanks alot. Helpful, and enlightening with regards to feet. I'm going to work through this, though I know that my Main problem is timing. I felt for you, when I saw that fall in the Los Angeles video. I learned to try and try again by your example in that video. Thanks for that too!
Thank you very much to take your time to share your vast experience to common people like me ! Up here in Québec our season's over but your video prove to me that I can wait next spring ... Passion
I have watched a bunch of bunny hop tutorial videos and none of them were as clear as this. Especially the terminology of being "wedged in" made so much sense as soon as I heard it.
honestly that is much harder, you need some space between your bike and your body, that's what lowering the seat will do, especially for bigger bunnyhops.
Great question. I am able to jump most UCI barriers using the same technique, but flexing more at the ankle (point your front foot and your rear foot) to get enough height to move back behind the saddle.
It depends on your setup. I like bigger tires w more volume and lots of knobby's. Don't have the tire too hard, but at the same time not too low, you don't want your tire to fold or pinch flat. Finding the right tire pressure is important.
Thanks for the lesson. I’m going to go out and try it. I feel like I can bunny hop only when I am in danger. But when I try to just do it for fun- I suck at it.
