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
