  1. Its a bit sad to see GCN videos after the GCN+ cancellation-the budgets have clearly dropped and they dont do nearly as much international travel. Its all rather basic, like the channel was 7+ years ago.

  2. Another important note for beginners – hit the obstacle perpendicular. That way, even if you fail to fully clear the obstacle, your wheels won't be pushed sideways.

  3. More of Blake and Hank! Blake , you an awesome teacher matching your serious skills . BTW I would like to know what part of ZIM you are from Blake? Fellow Zimbabwean here , originally from Harare , now living in the U.K.

  4. I remember Sagan bunny hopping over some road furniture during a Tour de France. I thought it was clever. After that, the UCI banned it. I also remember Lance Armstrong cutting across part of a meadow in a Tour de France. I wonder if that's banned now.

    As for myself, my Roubaix has flat bars and flat pedals. So, I will probably have to try bunny hopping the mountain bike way. Hopefully, I won't break anything.

  5. I have always wanted to be able to do this but I doubt I ever will, I dont have the physical capability I think, even on a BMX I dont think I could do it… I'm actually contemplating getting a BMX as a run around play thing even tho I'm old now, I love BMX's… simple and fun, does not cost 3 arms and a peg!

  6. "Clipless pedals" is confusing term. "Clips and straps" used to refer to the method of securing foot to pedal before clip-in pedals, so clip-in pedals were originally called clipless pedals. This is the first time I've heard the term "clipless pedals" to refer to pedals that aren't clip-in pedals.

  7. From a safety perspective, the ability to bunny hop is more important on the road than off-road. Off-road you MIGHT wipe out if you (or someone in front of you) fail to bunny hop something, on the road if you (or someone in front of you) fail to bunny hop a pothole you WILL wipe out and might get squashed.

  8. MTB, gravel, road, commuter, E-bike. Just all bikes, it's a good skill to have no matter the discipline of consideration. Think 8 year old kid, they don't classify themselves, they just do it b/c it's fun, cool, or challenging. Have Huffy, will go get the gallon of milk for Mom, carry home one handed. No panniers required. =)

  9. I broke 2 Team Raleigh bikes by bunny hopping. It broke the seat tube just above the bottom bracket it took a couple of years of doing it. I would look for obstacles in the road to jump. The bigger the better. When you land all the Forces come down on the bottom bracket. Doing the hop where you land on one wheel then the next will cut the force in half "theoretically.

  10. Great episode and excellent instruction. Over 50 years ago in a group in a Road Race I tried to Bunny Hop over a Rider that wiped out in front of me on his side, cleared him with my front wheel, caught his left arm with my rear wheel, did a 360 in the air, woke up later on my way to the Hospital. Still Cycling, still Bunny Hopping. 🙃
