im 43 re living my youth all over and ftl your step by steps are prob the best out there

Just want to add that when I learnt the manual I found it easier having my toes on the pedal not so much my sole of my foot

Thanks for the How To Billy! I'm working on manuals now and I definitely see some things I've been doing wrong. I start too far back, I've been trying to pull up already at my balance point instead of pulling up and shifting back like you said. I'm also too low I think. You're a bit higher above the tire than I am. I am an expert at looping out now haha! I will definitely second the warning on the pegs, I started doing manuals before I put pegs on my bike. The first time I looped out after putting my pegs my heel got stuck on my peg! Something I started working on instead of just focusing on distance is hopping in and out of a manual. It mixes it up while you're learning manuals. Once you can manual just a few feet then you can start practicing these skills while you work on the distance.

Thank you so much,billy!!! I just got my Sunday blueprint bmx!

keep head straigt not to youre goal

Yes!! I have been trying to figure manuals recently! So far my best is about 25 feet.

I like how to talk so much about what not to do. That actually helps a lot. Good approach. Maybe the best manual video yet and I’ve watched a lot. I just uploaded my first manual attempt yesterday.

Excellent Tutorial...Crisp and Clear. Thanks my Dude.

Yesss Ftlll right as I was going outside!!!!! Thanks yooo

My favorite trick. So simple and versatile and it builds bike control

Thank you so much for your help I can now get from one side of the parking space to the other thank you so much

Fakie Manuels look sick.

I know this is quite old, but what I've noticed just riding around practicing: wear a back pack with a tiny bit of weight in it, a decent text book or something, I've notice when I have my bag with my skateboard attached to it, I lock in for a tiny bit longer, than when I'm riding with nothing. I'm assuming the counter weight helps your balance point and I'd you practice that a few times then either take a bit of weight out after 5 solid attempts, then repeat till you take the bag off all together. Don't know if that will help anyone but it's something I've noticed my self 🤟🏼

Great 👍 video.....

Billy please more how to videos!!

nice man thanks

From another vid by Slow Grind on bunny hops, landing safely when looping out requires your knees/legs be bent, NOT straight as he demonstrates just before 4:00. If your legs are straight you have no way to ‘spring’ off the pedals and land safely. Thanks for these vids. FTL vids are some of the all time best, for real.

They mercy is fire

brooo do more how to videos so I can learn and improve on my tricks 😁

Them Begin tires look beefy. Also, does psi affect the manual?

@evanmurray7421

3 жыл бұрын

Massively. Manuals are much easier for me with 25-40 psi. I cant manual anything higher but it's all self preference

@ryanace7914

Yes. I use 40 psi

@MajloT

I usually ride around 65-70PSI at the start of the week (or mainly sundays) and i have to tell you that on saturdays i manage to pull the longest manuals just because my PSI drop down a bit. With more PSI the back end is more responsive, try to go with 40-45PSI at first to feel more comfortable

Awesome :) Thanks Billy, is the fakie manuel Video out yet ?

I just got inspired to get manuals on lock now imma gry and beat my personal record today

Please do how to half/full cab in depths 💥🤘 thankyou billy

So I have a frame with near exact geometry as the Voyager you ride. I also have 165mm cranks. Been hitting my back foot often on my peg while manually. I wear a size 9 - 9.5 street shoe and so I don't feel that might foot is too large for a short 12.5 chainstay. Is this something that you have had to deal with? Do you consciously try to angle your back foot down while in a manual to avoid catching your foot?

Do a how to fishtail/speedcheck on a brakeless bmx

Billy, thanks to you I can now semi-manuel. But I have one question, should my handlebars be aligned with my forks?

Brill I learnt a lot there i been trying for while now I no more now

So when picking the front up is it with your arms then straightening them? Or is it all one fluid motion of having weight forward then shifting back and that pops the tire up?

Yeah, fakie manual looks interesting too, would be good to see a tutorial for it.

You just need to doing manual like 10 years every day and here we go you got it

Its tough for me to balance, but good tutorial!

Hey Billy, I wanted to ask about your bars like their specs(Height,Width,Upsweep,Backsweep etc.) And i think i heard you said in one of your videos you will release them this year. Thanks!

Hey Billy, how do those tires feel when riding because in thinking about buying them

Thanks billy my problem was I was to close to the front of the bike got the second day of trying it. Could u a beginner trick video?😁

Awesome vids dude please make videos on DIY features please man please man please man even if you don't keep making Vids your awesome peace dude

I'm hoping if I watch enough Manual how-to videos my brain will overcome my genetic disposition to suck. :)

Def need the fakie manual how to

B, how long did it take you to learn to manual?

Def need that fakie manual how to

The thing that I wass forgetting when Im trying to learn how to manual more is to bend your knees! or just imagine that your going to sit on your back tire and your knees will follow then use your knees to control your balance by moving them backforth as you see everyone else doin Dont give up! I haven't 🙃

How many years have u been riding billy?

Does bar height matter when doing a manual? Because my bars are lower than avg bmx bars and I was wondering if that makes it harder or easier I’m 5’8 and my bars are a little lower and smaller than the avg bmx bar
