Manualing can be an intimidating & downright frustrating skill to start learning but in this video we've made manualing easy! We put our 60+ combined years of riding experience together to create this how to instructional video so you can conquer manualing on flat ground & ultimately take it to your terrain of choice, on your bike of choice.
From a young age I've felt drawn to riding ALL bikes which is why we love to cover skills that are fundamentally the same bike to bike & can be applied across nearly ALL bikes. For this video we cover the manual on a BMX, a Dirt Jumper, & an Enduro Mountain Bike by executing the same steps to initiate & hold the manual.
One thing to note is as you go up in bike size from a BMX to a full size endruo or downhill MTB it does require a bit more input energy from your legs as you drop your weight back as longer bikes/bigger wheels inherently means less leverage - if you're struggling getting the front end up really focus on actuating your legs as you push your weight backward.
While practicing this skill don't get discouraged - finding the technique with transferring your weight, actuating legs, & getting comfortable in the balance point all take practice! Take your time & enjoy the process. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions!
Happy Manualing,
-Mike
