For safety, drill a large hole through the long sections, then tie some rope/strap to the length you need which is the maximum tilt you want from the bike... this is so you can practice without someone being there... 👍🏻

The rope should be a bit beyond the balance point, so that you don’t get used to hanging on a rope, once you reach the balance point.

Adding a rope would help you bail too just extend it to the point where the bike is almost 90 degrees so you can learn how to bail on looping out or just stay at the bike

Yes the rope or safety line should be beyond the point that is capable of the rider to balance it, so certainly on the extreme side... this will still allow the person to learn to jump off, but it prevents a complete flip of the bike... end of, the reason you have this is to learn before hitting the trail, and with any manual you should be covering the back brake, which will cause the front end to come down should you need too... 👍🏻

I don't think the machine translates much into the real world. After using my machine a few times back and forth in between doing it for real, I have stopped using the machine as it was messing up my technique. (yes I took my chain off when using the machine).

Kara, and Tom, thank you. This has inspired me as a 49 yr. old to build a manual machine. Like you I think it will help me greatly on the trail. Next step after this bunny hops.

Ace, you two make a great team and compliment each other so well

Ahhh, memories. haha I wish i had more craft when i made my first video of it. Best renditions of a MM video that i've seen. Cheers.

Thanks Tom & Kara for this precious lesson! Keep it up!

You guys rock I am just getting back into MTB with my 3 boys 10, 8&8 this is a Awsome tool for me to teach them!!!! We love your videos I appreciate that you take the time to do these types of video’s!!! You both Rock !!!!

I love it, I built one it does help, my wife laughs at me when practising on it but It will help feeling more comfortable with the balance point

Nice to see how Kara progresses her skills. This is why i like mtb so much. You can learn something new everytime you ride and it doesn't matter if you ride urban or in the Woods .🤙🏻

I know this video is like 2 years old, but it pops up in my recommended videos, and has ever since it came out. I finally got around to watching it, even though I've seen every single other video you and Kara have. lol

another great video mate was fantastic meeting you today and thank you for taking the time to talk atb for the future

Lovely! Thanks for sharing! The other tutorials I saw show how easy it is to build, but don't really impress with how much progress you can make with it.

nice one. I only asked about it in the comments last week. cheers to you both. keep it up it will be good to see the progression.

I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. I was watching this because of Sam Pilgrims channel. Subscribed.

I made mine a couple of weeks ago and it really helped. Thanks for the video

She's awesome! I hope to see progress videos in the future!

Excellent video, going to build this for my son & I.. Happy New Year!

“Do they really work?” What? Are you asking me? I still don’t know.

Wicked! Same boat as her so it’s lush to see it help her so much! Weekend plans right there

Tom and Kara you guys are the cutest couple! Tom I think it's just wonderful how you've included Cara in your mountain biking endeavors!! Best of luck and regards to both of you!! I look forward to more videos featuring both of you in the future! - Cheers!

That's sick, I need to build one asap! Well done 🙏

That was awesome, I'm well shit at manuals, just watching this helped. Nice one

At 9 minutes she has the entry perfectly nailed, straight arms and bum low and easily overshoots the balance point. 🥳 I hope I can get that contraption built too and make my first manual in 2020.

I've done miles and miles of will he's never done a manual think I'll build your machine what a great thought thanks again keep it up have a blessed day be safe keep you and yours safe

Nice to see one of these in action. Seems like it should help, might have to build one.

awesome, have to try this....thank you great video

You could use a loose strap on the front wheel that only extends a couple of inches beyond the balance point - that'd prevent falling back

Wow, I am going to build one! Thank you for the list!!! subscribed!!!

These machines look fun!! I learned it the hard way. But i Will be building one for my friend

Awesome video guys, lm hopeless at manuals, making one tomorrow. You work well together

Tom cardy..Glad I found your channel..thanks to you and your assistant for showing the manual machine build..also it improves the skills of nose riding as well the rear manual. This tool will come in so handy.. thanks. Did your assistant manage to put the manual to dirt so to speak?. Sir ..when you went through on the ebike, it looked as if you.could hold that manual position for miles.. well done sir.. with your help your assistant will have it down in no time.. Have a nice day and look forward to more of your videos, I will have to try the step on the stem and over the bars technique just to make sure I got that one .. Downtown Tahoma California..

Nice vid. Tom 👍

Go to build me one of these for indoor training over winter. Can see it being great for developing my rear wheel balancing and muscles in my legs and hips to support that. Some good suggestions on here for loop out prevention. I was thinking myself trim off the rear and place it up against a wall. Kara will be a manual monster in no time and I never myself though about the potential for using it for nose manual / stoppie practice. Good stuff.

I thought you were going to go straight to... Here's one we prepared earlier.

Awesome, guys!! 😀

I built one a while back and they really do help to find that balance point 🤟👍

Nice idea!!! Thank You.

"1 more good one then I'm done for the day" We all know we would end up doing it another 20 times before we go in 😂

Lets talk about that intro for a moment!! Heck yeah 🤘😎 i know how to manual. I just like seeing how people make these coaching vids.

What a fantastinc idea!!

I was really really scared of doing manual didn’t even manual, nothing, it was a dream, then I built a manual machine since I always though how cool manual looks like and started to practice. At the beginning didn’t knew if I was learning but then after a couple of weeks started doing it with the hardtail bike in the street and starting to get use to it that feeling of going in one wheel while balancing and not falling and then tried with the double suspension bike and it was amazing then I kept practicing in the street whenever I had a chance then I realized I was really good at it and where I live there are long street going down. When I noticed it I was the best one doing Manuals for long distances high and low speed and my friends were amazed and me too. Please never give up and try and try and try again everytime. The process took me like 2/3 months . All thanks to this video and me for never giving up.

I've heard the chain needs to come off to be a true simulation. And a front wheel max height tether to the front of the machine will stop a loop out. Then remove thw tether as you improve. Practice makes perfect 😉

FP Tuning and the rear brake,but then you wouldn’t be as stable as you aren’t moving...stupid things really

With the chain on you control alot with your front foot. Take it off the front chainring for it to be like when you're riding.

that looks like a ton of fun! guess imma have to whip one of these up. i reckon you could even do a bit of strength training by using a bungee cord over the front wheel to create resistance.

Brilliant! Cheers from ATX!

Well done guys.

Gonna build one tomorrow! Cheers folks 🤙

nicely done!

The L shape helps me although sometimes it works n sometimes it dont ! Great vid

I've been thinking about making one of these, so now in lockdown perfect time except no delivery. Oh well something to do after lockdown.

it was great fun to watch her getting scared of falling behind. Hope now she is able to do wheelie on road. Please upload the video. 😂😀🐱🐭

Yay! Go, Kara!

I know this is going to sound a bit counterintuitive, but I'm perfectly fine at doing front manuals and totally useless at rear manuals. I think it's much easier to do a front manual because it's just a case of slamming your front brake on and feeling the back end lift and controlling the back wheel on the brake. I find it easier to control the back wheel with my hips than the front with my upper body and arms. This was an awesome video, I'm going to build a manual jig for when I've converted my bike to an e-bike.

Kara is great, she's got so much get up and go.

Kara save the dirt bike and you jumps over your bar xoxoxo nice, thanks for the fun ;-)

I learned a nose manual by practicing up against my car in the parking lot after a ride. :) Every time I went too far I could just put my hand out to stop from going over.

🤙🔥 Awesome! I gotta build me one!

Cards, put a strap from the front of manual trainer through the rim. You can then adjust it to the correct length to stop you going full tip off the back, or front in on nossers 👍

perhaps instead, you could put one of those supporting cross braces across the very front end, and another all the way in the back. just so you won't step on them if you do fall backwards off the bike. my luck I'd end up twisting my ankle and be out for the season. great video! you guys both added a lot to the entertainment value.

Tip- cut the 2x6 in the back just above where it meets the tire, and round off the corners just in case. And, put the stand backed up to a wall just in front of where your back would be. It’ll suffice if you don’t have anybody to hold you.

That's so cool @!👍👍👍

I need one of these!

what a great training aid

I tried one out when I was first learning to manual. I felt it really helped me initially to get comfortable of the feeling of hanging my weight off the back of the bike which gave me more confidence in not looping out when trying it on the street. One difference I found though is that in the manual trainer you need to pull back more strongly than on the street which took some getting used to.

Yes. That's what I do. However I feel like my motion on manualing machine is more precise and confident. Not so much on street what can be an answer to my problem. Also maybe cause of pure phisics. To throw body weight backwards I need to overcome forward motion - velocity, when on machine it's all static.

@@piotrlobacz One trick I learned was to sit as far back as I could to the point where it feels incredibly unnatural and when I did that I found that the front tire was almost too easy to lift up. I took it to the grass though so if I looped out it wasn't quite as painful of a learning process :) That said my best manual is maybe 20 feet so I'm far from an expert on the subject.

Excellent

Kinda funny. I shouldn't laugh cuz I do not know how to manual. You guys are a great team. I wanna try it, but it's winter here in Canada. Sucks.

I built one 2 years ago. Its been sitting in my garage ever since. Didnt work for me but I think thats because I havent used it much yet. Much like the treadmill that doubles as a clothing hanger. 🙂

Took me six months of practicing at least every other day to learn how to manual. Damn is it fun to do it.
