    @@SarahParkMatott yes, but it's more than that. Let me tell you why you are helping: I have a genetic disability, a neurological disease that has made every male in my family that has it need a wheelchair by my age (I'm 53) - so I gave up driving in my 20s to force myself to walk, bike, skate, box, etc to prevent my muscles from deteriorating as much as possible. In boxing, we've a discipline called "adaptive boxing" for disabled / handicapped people, where we learn multiple techniques that we can use by breaking things down into pieces and adapting what we can that fits. You do the same. In skateboarding, I cannot do certain tricks due to my neurological disease and deterioration it has caused in my leg muscles - but I love cruising, downhill, and slalom boarding, so that's what I do. BUT, by breaking down the tricks AND analyzing how it effects me as I try them, I learn more of how I interact to my board and how I can adapt that to better my use within my own specific bodily context.

I’ve always felt so uncoordinated with my hands and legs, so as you’d imagine, skating has been hard for me. I think Dan corrigan also recommended learning them stationary, so I started sticking my wheels in a crack in the pavement and just started from there, or hold onto a rail or table to really find the right sweet spot.

    Just a tip: i've noticed it can be really hard to manual with a bad set of bearings, so you might want to try upgrading if things are feeling inconsistent. Sometimes the two wheels on one side of my board are rolling better than the other side also. But i've skated some cheap boards, and the bearings threw me off more than anything else.

This video has definitely given me some inspiration to try this myself and see how far I can progress with a 30 day challenge like yours, I hope to get a much more consistent manual/nose manual soon!

    The counting method is very clever. The thought has also crossed my mind - that practicing stationary manuals would make rolling manuals easier but I've never practiced them like that. I find nose manuals much easier for some reason but I can only hold them for a short time (more than actual manuals). After seeing your vid I will definitely do this on rainy days. Balance is a skill too after all. Your channel is very helpful, thanks!!!

    I remember learning nose manuals from a trick tip in a transworld magazine. And one key step in that trick tip was that you should put your front foot on your front bolts when you ollie. That way you don’t have to move your front foot so far when you ollie and it makes it easier to keep your balance when you land on your front wheels. Also it makes you not do a too high of an ollie as you might have done with your front foot lower down on the board. Hopefully this will help someone.

    Thanks for the tips Sarah, and good work. I particularly thought the nose manuals looked good. I've been working on manuals too. I've mostly been doing them rolling, but, recently, have been trying them at low speed, and I've been trying to get a feel for turning left and right and carving while manualling. I noticed the same thing as you with regard to keeping the board flat, or, angling it a little more toward you heel. It seem like you really need to get that down for turning while manualling, or, even for kick turn spins. I hope to get to the point where I can decently space walk. I need to start working nose manuals. I've pretty much exclusively been working on tail manuals as I'm afraid to twist an ankle or slam doing a nose manual. I think you are smart for trying to learn them at the same time. If you want to see a gnarly nose manual, watch Dan Corrigan's video that has a title "world record manual" or something along those lines. Dan did a high-speed hillbomb manual in that video. And June Saito did a manual that was over two minutes long going down a hill. That guy June is amazing at manuals. I've seen other videos of him ride forwards and backwards down inclines doing manuals.
