  • Get ready to learn how to manual further than you've ever imagined. In this video I show you a method of 4 simple steps, which will make you manual across whole parking lots.
    The most important thing to learn if you want to manual long distances isn't just where your balance point is, but how to move your weight around to balance in all directions, which many other tutorials don't talk about.
    Enjoy the most comprehensive, in depth manual tutorial ever. (or at least the best I was able to make)

    Here's one more tip I missed: As you start lifting the front, you need to drop the rear pedal a bit (rotating the cranks backwards) and also tilt the pedals to a more comfortable angle, because you are hanging off the back of the bike and not standing over the cranks anymore. By tilting everything back a little, the cranks and pedals are facing you again.
    For anyone who can manual that's completely subconscious and a natural position to take, but I've heard some people are struggling for that reason.
    Have fun!

      Realy wonderful manual how to manual. 🙂 I was really able to learn the manual accorting this tutorial but... I stuck in the point "Knees to the left, knees to the right". Really big game changer for me was moment, I realized that best way to balance left and right by knees is to have big manipulating area for knees. Which means keep You knees far apart for suficient manipulation and again same thing with pancil (or rope walker with really long stict to keep balance over the abyys).

    Been battling how to manual my entire life, this helped out a ton! I can blast any terrain on a downhill bike and can almost do whatever on a bike but manualing just always kicked my ass. I really think the getting use to looping out is the key, I always do whatever I can not to loop out, which I think is a horrible habit to learn.

    Thank you for sharing this video. I'm 42 years old and due to my son getting into bmxing I've bought myself one too and for the last couple of weeks have been practicing manuals. I've had some limited success after watching other videos but have had the fear of looping out (after landing flat on my back the first time). Tonight after watching this video a few times first I've got to step 3 and manualing for a couple of seconds within about 45minutes. The first step is so important and now I have no fear of looping out even at a decent pace as I now know I can safely get my feet down if I go to far. Thank you.

    Hopefully this wont happen to you but it happened to me when i was doing a manual and im so glad my friend was there with me, if you ever loop out but cant get you feet off fast enough or you get your feet off but you land on a slippery surface, if you get the wind knocked out of you (you will know if you did you wont be able to breathe) *DO NOT PANIC!* put both your arms straight up above your head and lay in a stretched out position, when i did this the first time i honestly thought i was gonna die but my friend instantly said "Put your arms above your head and breathe like you normally would!" If you dont already know this trick remember it if you do already know it please dont reply and say "Everyone already knows what to do" Thank you!

      I need to improve my manuals but currently rely a lot on my rear brake. Unfortunately my rear brake almost entirely stops working when it’s wet. One rainy day I was manualling and the brake just wasn’t there. Don’t think I’ve ever been more badly winded. I can still remember laying there on the ground feeling utterly helpless!

    I've been riding mtb's so long (over 30 yrs), manuals literally didn't even exist when I began. In '94 I moved to FL and hung up my bike for kayaking the Everglades. When I returned to the sport, about 13 yrs later, manualing was THE MOVE to learn. I was a pretty adept rider in my day, but pulling it off was something that frustrated the F@%K out of me. Now at 50, this video alone gave me the ability to look a touch better than a 6yr old trying learning to "wheelie" for the first time. Becoming comfortable with "looping out" was the step that changed it for me. I ride clipless, but am learning on flats. This old man thanks you in a big way!!! Cheers!! P.S. DON'T STOP TRYIN'!!! It'll happen for you. Just like everything else in this amazing sport, it takes practice, practice, practice!!

    I was having trouble with manualing yesterday and after watching this video last night, I’m able to manual my whole drive way which is like 500ft. Liked and Subbed for sure.
