How to Manual






How to Manual on a Skateboard. We show 3 types of Manuals but there are many more. The 3 we show are 1) Normal Manual 2) 1 Foot Manual 3) Nose Manual (not for very long) This tutorial should teach you where to put your feet for the longest possible manual you can do. Balance is the key to this trick and it can go wrong and you can fall and eat dirt. This is a fun trick, you can do tricks into this trick and out of this trick EG - Kickflip to Nosemanual OR Pop shove it to Manual to Pop Shove it out. And Millions more. Good for combos aswell. Hope this video helped :)

The original upload of this video became really choppy and laggy for some reason. So here is a re-uploaded version in better quality! My guide/tutorial on how to manual a bicycle, i go through the basic steps and things to look out for in the manual. Big thanks to Tim for doing the camera work =)!

  12. Equipment makes a world of difference. The chain stay length on the bike is very important as well. The bike in this video has a very short rear end which plants more of the rider weight back to start with. Long chain stays will make it hard if not imposible to do a manual. Cross country bikes are longer in the rear for climbing and do not do manuals worth a crap. A short reach stem will make a world of difference. A lighter tire up front will also make the front end come up easier.

  14. @samanthms123 weight means nothing bud, you just gotta find ur balance point. a good way to practice is when ur in the motion of j-hopping dont pull ur back end up and try ridding like that. Try in a parking lot where there are the lines of the parking space and keep trying to get further and further. Do one space at a time, for example one space then two then three but never increase untill you can do the space before. reply to me on ur progress

  34. @HayzeRagex I don't think he put the nose manual in slow motion to make it look longer, I think he put it in slow motion because he knows he cant do it as long and he wants us to be able to analyse it better.
