- This is my manual learning progress in two months on a BMX. This video will show how much the manual machine can help you learn. With a freecoaster you don't have the chain tension as you do on a cassette.
Really good video man. I am 49 and ride BMX.
I'll be 48 in one month and just bought a bmx!
@@antkouv 28 years old and got one 2 weeks ago.
I'm 44, brought a sweet bmx 2 weeks ago
doesnt matter how old you are, just do what you wanna do, dont worry what ppl can say, oooh to old for that shit, fk it, ppl dont pay your bills and pretty much you are doing some outdoor because in this days no body wants to go outside
10 years old and just bought one
I'm 34 and my bike just showed up today. Thanks for the video dude. If you don't live in an old person's body you'll never get old.
36 is young I tought my 50 year old neighbour to Manuel in 4 weeks. Just in a car park. And he now is awesome at it. If he could learn anyone can. No need for that device.
A random tip I’ve got:
Air down the tire and it’s much easier to balance. It’s great for learning. As you get better, you can run normal pressure. Full pressure tires just loop out really easy compared to aired down tires.
Hi Chris, it depends.
For me having the tires at max pressure help me keep the backwards manual longer.
But it depends on the personal preference.
I like running with my preferred psi the only reason why is sometimes I get weak from practicing so it helps me do that little extra pull up and lock in, I think the longest one I did was 50 feet at most. I gave up five years ago after I got the link bmx I use now and I got alittle more discouraged on my first week of restarting cause people say I’m to old and stuff and I figured I wasn’t cause I’m only 19
@UCplxlwPJto4e4PsXiHWHgaA now that I started flatland I always use 110 psi :)
I'm 40 and just got back into riding
Thanks so much for the video. You really inspired me at 45 to get on my bmx bike and keep practicing my manuals and wheelies.
thanks for this 42 here and starting my journey to manual...hehe
What helped me get good at manuals was, I pick the front wheel up as if I’m going to hop, but lean back over the back wheel and almost hang off the handlebars until you feel tension in your elbow joints and your arms should be completely straight when in the right position!
Funny i too am getting back into bmx at 36.. With my son 7.
I started from fresh with my son 4 :)
@@realuptime thats cool. They will be better then us before long. Enjoy every moment!
@@realuptime where are new videos man i wanna see your progress
I used to ride BMX & just got back into MTB. I was practicing some flat land tricks the other day & the local kids were hyped but I got some strange looks from older people . Might make a manual machine my skills are a little rusty.🤙
Good luck!
Im 36 and got on a BMX bike for the first time in like 20 years a few weeks ago and eventually felt comfortable doing some of the flatland stuff I used to do.
After working my way up to it, I pulled off a perfect decade on my first try and now all the kids on my block think I'm some kind of wizard.
Ive always been awful at manuals, though.
I am almost 43 and bmx gave me a healthy outlet for so much.
36.. full head of hair.... Pathetic!
I am trying this at 46 and bald!
I hope this made you feel better about yourself at least! 💪🤣😂
Best of luck to you brother, I WILL crack this!!!
The best top I have heard is, 'Practice your loop-out/flip/over-cook/#@#@ up' before you attempt your wheelie/manual.
Best wishes from an Englishman in a French forest. 🏆🌞
Bald at 32 .. smh
I just turned 36 and started to training manuals. Thank you for this video.
I tried this today and posted on here it was fun my mind definitely got use to how it should feel so I feel I’ll soon Manual for ever! 😂🤘
I really love the creativity
Great video, I stopped riding for 15 years after a bad shoulder and chest injury, just got back on abmx bike. Thanks gir the extra motivation
Age of 29 , love riding Bmx with my two little kids
I was drunk trying to manual a few weeks ago almost broke my tailbone. So funny
Dont drink and manual kids😂
You're the man, thanks for your time. My son and I are trying this now, I appreciate the video and great work on your progression!!
Thanks for this video.. i like what you made.. Now that i seen it. i may just end up building one. Keep trying
Super cool idea brother! Good video!👍
Meeen you have the setup exactly like me. Pegless and both brakes installed with the wires free (Barspin unable)
Enjoy your rides
That one village street looked familiar to a street in poland where I used to stay during some summers. Weird. Dope Video!
I really struggle with mannys , might give this a bash 👍
Perfec, never is to late for start
I got injured in 2020 practicing it. I am buying a new BMX and probably trying again. I just turned 46!
Great video, I'm 46 and trying to learn wheelies and manuals on a MTB. This video is great. It's really hard, I have a manual machine and removed the chain day one, can hold for 45+ seconds no brakes or chain in the manual machine, but on the street, about 1 to 2 seconds... I'll get it one day. But good video. Wish I had the guts to loop out like you do. I just grab the brake! :)
I tried on 26 inch mtb and it wasn't that hard, but on a ebike ... OMG, it's very hard to get into the balance point. The ebike is such a heavy thing. Comparing all of them, the easiest is with the bmx, and of course, the most exciting :)
If you are not tall enough, it will be harder with the MTB. Try to have the seat lower than normal.
@@antkouv I totally agree with you, the seat should stay as low as possible and on some MTBs the geometry will not even allow you to manual. It is hard to get back to the normal position because of that seat.
I prefer seat all way up on mtb for wheelies it just depends on the person they also say dont bend your arms but i bend mine
@@CaFFeineSouLja Wheelies are different than manuals, for wheelies you should be sitting down so a high seat makes sense.
Solid vid learned a lot , an yeah just getting into this at 47
For me the best way was to practise manuals everyday, no machine but i started on short grass like a football field, you really need to keep low and and your backside right back, practise looping out firstly like this guy was doing, 1 hour everyday or every other, and slow take your time, they take along time to master, once i was confident on grass and had decent control i went to concrete or the road. Thanks for the video 👍
Very well made video 👍🏻👍🏻
Upload some more please!!!
Hello bro i like. You video. Is nice. Thankyou. Bro
Keep it up and keep sharing!
thanks man! I am 38 and I will get it, I do MTB.
I speak spanish
Cool ima try to copy your manual machine its simple but effective i just welded my stem to my fork so it wont getdestroyed again but works fine same thing
salut frate, foarte fain! noroc!
autostrada goala era in timpul covid? ce tare, o oportunitate odata pe viata!
Nope. E o bucata de 1km aici langa cluj ce nu are nici un capat terminat. E un loc bun pt bmx si sa conduci inainte de scoala :)
Ayyy nice bike. I have the mongoose l100
Im also 36 starting a bmx.
What is easyer manual or wheely? 😊😊😊Good video. .....😊😊😊
Bend your knees more, and eventually slow down to learn better control.
I am 64 year and still ride bmx but I cannot do the trick because my foot is weak
As long as you are riding for long term doesn’t matter if there is some tricks you ca not do, at our bmx club there is a 66 years old that races a 24inch bmx cruiser and he has a lot of fun riding at his own pace 👍 glad to hear you are still riding.
4:33 is the best!
Inspiring!
Ayo tutorial on how to build the wooden stand? Idk what to call it
Que bien
I made one a well but I learned that chain has to come off so you cant use pedal pressure or it isn't the same.
Thanku uuuu soo much❤️🔥
I'am 37 and like to ride BMX 😅👍🏻
Haha, I am starting at the age of 37!
What's the music? I can't find the info.
How to make the place
Great vid. I have seen a few different styles of manual machine and I have to say i'm digging yours the most out of all i have seen. I noticed you shortened it and removed the rope on the front tire. Do you think this helps because you have the ability to practice looping out on the machine? Seems like your getting practice on how to balance better and also how to get out of it if you go too far.
Hi Joseph. Don’t focus on the manual machine too much. As it is more unstable, it will help you keeping your balance better. Sometimes I put a rock underneath to be more unstable. Absolutely remove the front rope as you progress. It will tangle and twist with the front wheel ... very frustraiting. Of course you will know better when is the moment to loop out.
Key point is to practice and relax. Try to make very small adjustments to the balance point. And always mix the manual machine with street!
Same age same problems
To the person reading this: Even though I don't know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer 💙
Shut up
Honestly I wouldn’t recommend using any manual machine because if u do have anywhere to practice manuals then u don’t have a place to ride a bike and it’ll give u more confident on ur bike if u just learn how to fall
35 and reLearning
Nice vid! Would you say the Manual Machine is easier or harder than trying it 'in real roads'?
In terms of muscle effort, on the manual machine your legs are doing more work. ‘On the road’, it is harder to stay, for example 30 seconds. Definetly mix both ways. What I want to point out is that it helps a lot if: you look straight ahead (your brain will get used to keep the balance without thinking); stay lower, but that should not br a rule, because in the future you will have to recover from a lot of “landing” positions; try to use very small adjustments to the equilibrium, otherwise you will get tired very fast; don’t get into bad practices like padaling backwards on a cassette (take your chain off or use a freecoaster); relax and practice.
Now, after three months I feel like I am controling the manual much easier.
@@realuptime You're doing so well. Thank you for the advice! I will make sure to look ahead and make my adjustments gentle and not too aggressive! I can bunny 180, 360 and pull up barspin but the manual was by far the hardest trick for me to learn. I am still trying to learn it! Thanks again!
I learned only on the road, bumpy a quarter of the time. In about 2 years, i can turn the bars 90 degrees, but not consistent, and definitely move the bike better, and recover. Haven’t looped out in a year and can steer sometimes. But manuals always come with good and bad days.
Pretty good dude! I'm getting back into BMX in my adulthood. The manual is something I am going to learn first but I'm 10 years older than you and fat AF
What inch is that wheel?
Hey, 20 for both the red and the black
@@realuptime thanks!
you should see me manual 😂
your bars are too low too try getting taller bars
Niciun roman nu a văzut videoul in afara de mine cred:)

not a machine. device. angle. tool whatever.
