Knowing how to bunnyhop whatever bike you're riding and whatever the terrain is therefore very important. Here Neil shows you the specific of bunny hopping on a hardtail bike. To get started with bunnyhopping on your hardtail mountain bike, look at your bike set up; a lower saddle and a shorter stem will make this easier. Then, move on to your body position, buy using down and backwards motion with your hips to get the front wheel in the air. Don't just use brute force to bunny hop – that won't get you anywhere. To get your rear wheel in the air, dip your toes and push back slightly on the pedals. To put it all together, lift the rear wheel as your front wheel peaks.
