This is awesome. Sometimes people who are super-good at a technique aren't the best teachers-they don't know what other people don't know. You sharing your learning process is a lot more helpful, I think.
That's a great way to put it. I didn't really think of it that way before. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
The best part is you're older (not as old as I am), and you're still trying to get better. Props to you!
Thank you!
So... When is the age to give up and stop trying to improve? 😄
Same
@@lonelymtbrider3369, when you become so fragile that you injure yourself with every attempt... ⚖️
Out of all the big channels with directions on how to make and use a manual machine, you by far have the best content and design. Look forward to more vids
Dude, thank you. That's an awesome compliment!
That breakthrough FACE! Priceless! Nice work.
Thank man! As you can tell, I was very surprised when it clicked.
Awesome man! I’m really trying to talk myself into building one! I’m ready to see this new skill in action!
Great job! You're making progress! I'm also learning on a manual stand. One thing that helped me was LEARNING TO LOOP OUT AND STEP OFF THE BACK SAFELY AND CONFIDENTLY.
Looping out is scary. That's why our instinct is to put that long tail behind the rear wheel stop - we're afraid the whole contraption is going to flip over. The most important thing for me was getting rid of the fear of looping out and falling. Once I learned I can step off the back easily and safely, I could do so without panic. Once the fear was gone, then I was able to concentrate on the next step, which you've already gone and done. Keep it up!
Good information. You're turning into a manual ninja! 🥋🚵
Awesome video, I’m going through this right now! Thanks for the motivation!
Dude, I just find out your channel, but I'm enjoying it so much. You have a great sense of humor and your videos are great. I'll build a manual machine soon, and then I'll tell you the result. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Love it, a journey of discovery with humility 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If there is one thing that I am the best at its humility! ;)
Hell yeah Cody! Love this
Thank you brother! I hope to see you soon.
Good advice about the chain removal !
brilliant video one of the best on a manual machine I've seen
Dude! Thank you very much!
Awesome job! thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
One of the better manual video's I have seen. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Excellent! Nice work. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Congratulations. Loving your videos. I'm building your kicker ramp today. Manual machine next
This one is the best! Thanks for putting it together, I appreciate the 4...5... wait.... 5 tips!
Ha!. Thank you!
Great video thanks
Helpful... And cracks my stuff up. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Right on man, thats awesome good job!
Thank you very much!
So I just finished building my manual machine last week, slightly different design but probably 90% the same. I only watched this clip after a bunch of runs on mine and came to the same conclusion in regards to running with the chain on v the chain off. I 100% agree! As soon as I took the chain off it was like I was a beginner again (not that I was a pro by any stretch anyway)! So now I am practicing without the chain. Plus the only way to do this is while recording the entire process, it really helps to identify those problems with technique. Thanks for sharing! :)
Hmmm... I'm a long time manualer, thinking about building one for m'Lady. The thing I see missing from this process is: the ability to push the rear wheel out in front of you to keep the front wheel up. It's an essential component of manualing and manual to any kind of hop. This does seem like a helpful tool none the less. Good carpentry. Well done.
Love the video, the hip tip was good. I'm gonna try that. Thanks.
Thank you very much. I hope that it helps. Good luck!
Love your sense of humor, attention to detail and dedication to getting better! Thanks for sharing your plans too!!!
Thanks so much!
Super cool to see your journey on this.
Yeah, it's definitely been a journey. It started out feeling like a full-on battle...
Bravo, trop content pour vous.
👌👌👍👍🤘🤘🤙🤙
Well done!
Watched all of the other videos, this is the best
Wow, right on!
Alrighty then! Been wanting to build one of these for a while and your videos finally convinced me.
Right on! Thank you!
Can’t wait to see you take this progression of yours in the parking lot Cody! I have NEVER seen anyone graduate from a manual machine yet, so with that said I really think that you will be the first guy that will graduate from it. Keep up the excellent work man!
Thank you! I am working on it. It is definitely a different game when the bike is rolling, but I will keep at it!
@@LunchRide Make sure you film and share your manual progress for real... with that in mind I subscribed to your channel and liked this video :-)
Love to be part of your learning process. Thanks for an entertaining and informative production! 👍
Thanks for watching!
"and you're going to be thinking: What a dick". I lolled.
Thanks!
Congrats!! 😸
Thank you!
Brilliant, thanks.
No, thank you!
HELL YES MAN! THIS IS AWESOME! my first bike will be here on Thursday. Super stoked and you've inspired me to build a manual thingamajig
Right on! Let me know how it goes!
Love this series and have built the rig Too, day 2 and am gaining improvement on every lift... amazing Codie , the humour is almost British!
That's great to hear. Let me know how you progress!
Most inspiring mtb video! I'm not looking to win races, I'm looking to manual the hell out of any trail! I'll follow your steps. Great job with the video.
Right on! Thank you so much for watching!
Man, I was so stoked for you when you held that massive one! Awesome!
You and me both! Thanks for watching!
And then he admitted it's been thanks to chain tension and I was so disappointed ha ha ha
Thanks for this video it's very encouraging 👍 trying to manual has been really frustrating for me
I understand. I will make a little progress and then it feels like I've plateaued!
Ahh shit, now I’ve gotta make something else now 😁
This cheered me right up, cheers mate😃👍
Great video brother! 🤙🏼
Thank you very much!
love it!
I’m building one tomorrow. Congratulations on the achievement, i can’t wait to get there!
I'm excited to know how it works out for you. Keep me posted!
Coooooool Step by step, like a pro🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.
Ooooh that look when you suddenly succeeded in smth))) And that dance of victory!!! That's why i do it too))
Yeah!! Thanks!
Brilliant mate!
Thank you!
You are the Man!
No, you're the man!
Great vid and chat on this such a huge help, I have heard that keeping your heels down helps a big time with balance, I have yet to make and try one out yet, I am 63 and I WILL GET IT! thanks for sharing.
Good luck to you! It's a fun workout.
Hilarious informative inspiring video, awesome design!
Thanks so much!
Good work. I would like to see you doing it for real. Keep us updated with some outside progression updates. Subscribed in hope
I'm working on it. I will keep you posted. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
Thanks for posting this. I'm definitely going to build one of these. Also, I like how down to earth this video is. Makes an average rider like me feel better about trying all those cool kid riding moves.
Let me know how the build goes and keep me posted on your progress!
@@LunchRide I built one shortly after watching. The second night practicing I went over the back and landed on a 45° cut on one of the back supports. Cut my favorite shorts and got a bad gash on my right butt cheek. I trimmed the sharp parts and now I'm back at it. Manuals are difficult. Can't wait to be one of those dicks on the trail.
Great video!! I just built a manual trainer and had my first session. Would love to see some videos of how your manuals look while riding after working with the trainer. Also any observations on differences you've noticed between the feel of being on the trainer and normal riding.. :)
You've been a great help to me, thank you. I built your machine with a slight mod so I can put different wheels in there and adjust it. I'm almost at the stage your at...I can hold a manual for about 10 secs say every 10th attempt. I started out chainless, i think that's the best way. Doing this has REALLY helped me with wheelies too.
Right on! I'm so glad to hear it. Keep it up!
nice one mate well done
Thank you very much!
Great video, will do the same... I'm turning 40 next yr your video inspires me to be more courageous in my pursuit of mtb improvement. Thanks for the inspiration! - from d 🇵🇭
That's awesome to hear. I really appreciate it. Best of luck!
Yea buddy. There ya go, it's coming. Let's see the progress on the ride.
Thank you! I'm working on it.
@@LunchRide are you convinced this tool is helpful for manual skills?
@@johncochran9392 I think this contraption helps with the process of getting into the manual position, a skill well worth practicing. But, as far as helping with the manual itself, not so much... There are just too many dynamics that this thing cannot replicate.
@@LunchRide Don't give up. If you want to learn to manual you will manual.
These points are making a lot more sense than most other manual vids.
Also, I like your machine design best out of all I have seen.
Hell yeah! Thank for that!
Thanks again, that's a big complement!!
Lol great video, good stuff
4:52 "...and you think to yourself...." (no spoilers) HA HA HA HA HA HA
So funny, good job!
Great job! Got you a new sub
I will try not to disappoint!
คุณนี่โคตพยายามเลย สุดยอด นับถือ ผมจะทำตามคุณบ้าง
Bad ass man! Curious to see how your progression on the machine translates to the trail. And great call on removing the chain!
Thank you so much! I can tell you already that sustained manuals while rolling are still a challenge, but I will keep working on it an report back.
LMFAO 😂😂😂 awesome vid, love the humor and some great tips! Open the knees. .. will try that tomorrow, today was my first day.. think I'll do the 20 minutes a day for a week and see how it goes.
Keep me posted on your progress!
Good show! Looks like your brain has all but conquered that thing! My manual vid will be up next week, looks like we have similar ways of working through stuff! Cheers!
Thank you! I will be sure to check it out!
You video inspired me!! Just built my manual machine!!
Let me know how it goes! Did you find it as frustrating as I did to start with?
Lunch Ride I have been at it for about a week and I have to say I am improving! It is frustrating AF but at least I can practice without looping out! Props though doing it on my Haro BMX. I am a 43 year old who has always wanted to race BMX and I am finally working toward it!
Check out my page manual progression and today was making some real progress. But I also switched it up on a freestyle BMX and the geometry is so much better than the squat frame of my race bike! Thank you for the whole manual machine idea!!
Looooved this video. I'm about to make a Manual Machine and I feel like you I have a good grasp of the theory and what I should be doing but can't do it. Hopefully I have some success
I hope you have great success! Thanks for watching.
@@LunchRide I made one, its on my channel, I found it very easy to Manual on the Manual machine (maybe 3 tries) but I cant manual on the road, I can pull the front back up by straightening my legs but if it goes too far over I can only slam then bike down with the brake. Frustratingly.
Good work!..
I appreciate it. Thank you!
your face @ 1:45 : priceless. Congrats & thanks for the very insightful @ informative vid. Now on to the bunnyhop machine ;-)
Oh, that's a million dollar idea. If you can draw it up, I'll build it!
Im not going to lie I've been trying to get manuals for years and still haven't got them. But you just solved the the problem that I've always done. Ive been trying to keep my rear end too low. I always put my butt on the tire. It all makes sense now. Now lets see if it will work lol
Keep me posted on your progress!
@@LunchRide New Video is up now. How embarrassed am I right now lol
You’ve inspired me, I wasn’t convinced on the manual machine but I think it’s got to be helpful after watching your progress. Getting one of these knocked up in the shed TODAY!
Aaaand three hours later ibb.co/i80CM9
Thank you! Let me know how it goes for you!
NICE!!!
Lunch Ride thanks man, been playing on it all day!
Great videos mate. You've got a new sub. Number 823 and I think you're about to take off 👍
Thank you! If the channel does take off you can say you knew me when I was small potatoes!
Nice!
Thanks!
I want a machine such as this...I suck at manuals something awful.
You had me cracking up with your self proclaimed title of “King of Bullshit” because that’s how I make it day to day.
The part at the end about “What a Dick!” Is literally every time Travis manuals past me 😂🤘🏻
Nicole is going to take one, you can borrow the other if you want.
😄 you're a pretty cool dude.
Hey, thanks, I try!
😂👌quality. I'm gonna go out and practice on mine👍
I'll practice too and we'll have a manual machine race!
Glad I watched. Now,can you bunny hop barriers on a CX bike ?
New challenge.
I will have to work on that. LOL!
Lunch Ride : you're an inspiration - I look forward to your "How to".
That’s awesome man way to go giving us uncos some hope I made it today and had a go and I’m finding it tuff to even get my balance left and right lol then yep 1-2 second Manuals so have u tried manualing out on the street or track yet and what’s been your progress
I've been tracking my progress a little bit, check out the play list called manual machine saga for all the updates.
Yes! This was awesome. Tempted to make it! By the way, great job documenting the time in a way. Always curious to know how long it takes people to get the balance point. Does what you learned translate well to the bike moving forward too?
It doesn’t translate very well. The manual machine helps practice the initial pop, and practicing balance is always helpful, but the dynamics of moving on the trail is just too different.
I love that bike. It is the best looking Giant Trance. Is that a Large? Also, i loved how you cracked the smile after you got it the first time. It was great timing with the music muted. Good video.
Thank you for watching. It is a large... and it's for sale! 😂
@@LunchRide i wish i was tall enough to fit on that. 😁
I have the 2017 trance advanced 2 as well and a manual machine in garage ! Just saw the video nice - let’s see how it’s going in the park
I love that bike! An update is coming!
Lunch Ride yeah! I put fox 36’s on the front of mine - it beefed it up a bit - slightly less climbing ability though
I had my friend build me one off your plans...thanks.
Nice! Good friend you've got.
I just made one myself and I did feel the pressure through the pedals was cheating as I could hold the manual just by pressure alone. I’ll try it with the chain off next. Good video 👍🏼
With the chain off it really was like going back to square one. Let me know how you do!
Great video! Do you think frame size matters? I've been struggling to get my front wheel up on a large frame
Only if the bike is over sized for you. Concentrate on getting the downward stomp and then going straight back with your hips as close to the rear wheel as possible! Thank you for watching!
You’re better at it than I am
my man
Right on.
"...and you'll think to yourself...what a dick." This made me lol, thumb up and subscribe.
Thank you!
yup that's what I would be saying to my self when I some show boating off in the parking lot 'what a Dick" lol awsome
That’s always what I think! 🤣
Like it
dope dope dope dope !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
And you are the coach of Liverpool
"so pretty soon you'll see me rolling through the parking lot on my back wheel and you'll think... What a dick!" Lol. I about died!
Haha, thanks!
Awesome man! Do you feel it’s helped with rolling manuals quite a bit?
I think yes and no. The manual machine is such a "controlled environment" compared to the dynamics of the uneven trail making it still feel rather uncomfortable or risky. However, it helps in the sense that I now know it can be done, and I have once or twice pulled a manual and held it longer and stronger than I ever have before.
Good job! I also built one and in the end could do a >1min "manual", the only thing stopping me going longer was the physical exertion! Phew! However, how long can I hold a manual on the road? Answer: 1 second! So, for me the skill didn't translate from MM to "reality". Good luck with your practising, I'd love to know if it helps with actual manuals, so far I've not found any (video) evidence that the MM has helped anyone learn to manual.
PS: take your chain off!
You’re right, it doesn’t translate to the trail. I think if you can do a manual on the trail then you can easily use the manual machine but not the other way around. The dynamics are just very different.
Great job breaking this down. Is there a way to design it for two different bikes. For instance my bike is a 29er with 2.5'' wheels and my son's is 27.5 with 2.3'' wheels.
I think that you could use this design for both 29 and 27.5 but I do think there will be a bit of a problem on the tire width. Maybe if you build it for the 2.5 then add a piece of 1/4" plywood as a shim on the side of your sons tire. That should work.
Has this helped you learn to bunny hop? How about riding over obstacles on the trail? That’s my biggest hurdle in my riding is getting the front wheel over stuff
I totally think it has help boost my bunny hops and while I am still not holding those long show-off manuals, I am able to get my front wheel up higher for longer and, most importantly, when ever I need to (not just when the conditions are perfect)!
LOL! Sub'd.
Right on!
Great video..appreciate the humor and your determination to master...agree though when you ride through on a manual your a d**K
Right on
Giving more preload would make easier to lift front wheel.
I agree completely.
So how did it help your manuals on the trail please? I’ve just built one.
It really helps with practicing the "down and back" maneuver and practicing any kind of balance helps with all other types, plus it's a load of fun all by itself. But, that being said, there are so many other considerations for manualing with the bike moving that there is no replacement for actual trail practice.
