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).

I've been struggling for 2 years on my BMX to manual. I could always get the wheel up and loop out but never hold it for more then a second. After watching this and doing step 2 I did a 25ft long one today after only 15 minutes of practice. Thanks so much. Now if only I could tail whip.

I learned to manual during the quarantine! Thanks to you I can now do 100 meters +

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.

I had to conquer the fear of looping out for wheelies, after I did they are easier to learn.

I finally learned to manual thanks to your video

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.

This is seriously the best manual tutorial on KZread . When you type “how to manual” they only teach you how to lift the front wheel, they dont teach you how to balance etc. well done on this video mate👍😀

This was the only video I actually learned something

Hands down the best instruction. Nuff said.

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!

are we not gonna talk how this man manuals like a master?

Great video! I’ve always wanted to learn manuals and you demonstrated it so well :)

Finally someone who can actually teach.

The first step is the key to achieving this trick. In 5 minutes I learned how to raise the front wheel. You are the Best.

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!!

CRACKED IT. Its taken me months to crack it but i've just jumped from bringing the wheel up for a couple meters uncontrolled to 10 meters consistant! Followed your guide. Just took me a while.

Probably the best tutorial on manuals out there. Very well though out and produced.

Wow, I've watched at least over a dozen videos on how to manual and yours is by far the best. The explanation with the slow mo sessions and repeats with commentary are superb. Subscribed.

the most systematized training process. so good. really good

I've watched 97 videos and this has got to be the best so far. I am going to go ride my bike now.

Dude u got skills to be a teacher. I’ve watched hundreds of manual tutorials and believe me, this one is gem.

by far the most detailed toutorial without any useless crap. the back and forth slomotions are great to understand the principles of the certain steps. great work thank you.

You got a like from me just because of your voice this seriously and scientifically detailing how to do a manual. I think I'm going to need to subscribe.

This is nice, I can hold decent wheelies but can't hold a manual at all. Seeing this video made me realise that I lock up my knees and rely on the rear break till I come to a stand stop.

the first step: learn to loop out. the best advice so far and very valuable ;) ... and not only for manuals actually

I think out of everyone I’ve seen do this trick u are the best. You don’t move a ton while doing it most everyone else is swaying back and fourth. Nice job

I found myself accidentally pulling a manual on a trail last weekend. It was surprising and a little disconcerting, but it was a trail that I'd ridden quite a bit over the last few weeks and I was pretty comfortable. That's why I clicked on this video and now I will have to do these practice moves! Thank you. After trying this, I found my seat getting in the way. Also, I think with 29" wheels it is more difficult. Plus, you make it look so easy!
