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

  • @KRLinger
    If the answer isn't "buy a better bike," I'll need to come up with another excuse for giving into the n+1 rule
  • @sole__doubt
    "All you need is a bike..." OK got that "... with a brake." OK well I dont have that but Ill still watch you guys. ;)
  • @malikridesmtb
    You guys are the best. The step by step tutorial is amazing!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Never seen anyone making it simple as you guys do. Keep more videos coming!!!! I'm watching 😊
  • @fight4uthisway
    Along with the information, I really appreciate that you found that old ass school chair for demonstration accuracy! Solid move 😁
  • @Ryland_28
    Loving this series. The breakdown into mini-sections makes it much easier to understand. 👏👏👏🙏
  • @eelson2
    Practical instructions that relate it to common experiences (the chair) 😂 Super helpful!!
  • @SCnative64
    This is the best explanation and demonstration on a manual I've ever seen! I'm still in early learning stage, practicing the position, loop out, and am looking to hold it for just 1 parking length right now. I can wheelie pretty well on a slight uphill or flat, but like you guys said, that doesn’t seem to help that much learning the manual.

    these videos are so well made! love that they're three friends working together and the skills are presented as a progression with a simpler start than trying to jump right into the whole thing. when i was a teenager i used looping out as my main way to dismount my bike. i thought it looked pretty cool and it was easier to walk it on just the back wheel into the garage to park it. so i have no fear of looping out as an advantage for learning this skill! i found that when it works best for me, i'm hanging off the handle bars and pushing my feet forward, similar to the feeling of pumping a swing forward. i'm having more trouble getting my front wheel up on my 27.5 than i did on a 20, and after watching this i would guess i'm only getting as far back as i needed to for a 20.

    Awesome vid! One of the best explanations that I’ve seen. Sweet sounding freewheels too!
  • @hoser7706
    Such a great tutorisl. 5 decades on a bike and now I might be able to do this. ❤
  • @davonstewartismeeee
    really cool video i just got a 10-speed bike for 60 from some dude the bike's MSRP IS 1500 it's really light and is a hardtail MTB i was instantly was able to do wheelies easier so I can't wait to try this. I never thought about purposely finding the loop point and then dialing it back this seems logical like it's a better way to learn so I will try it somethings telling me it is definitely gonna help. I appreciate the video. GOD BLESS!!!!!
