| I've been riding bike lately, and I've been able to hop and wheelie(while pedaling) but I've never really been able to manual for a long distance. 3 parking spaces is about the most I can do consistently. I seem to lose my leverage point and either drop out, or just flip the bike over. Sometimes I ride off to the side and can't keep a level bike either.
If anyone could help me out that'd be great.

| Couple tips I can give you, try and look through the gap in your bars when you manual instead of over them.. Get low- Over the back wheel that is lol:) I mean once you lift the bike sit into the manual over your back wheel make a triangle shape out of the space between you and the bike. This helped me cos I use to stand up really straight when I done em.
Ya gotta commit to it, the worst that could happen is you fall on your ass. If the nose starts to Fall kick your hips and legs forward a little to keep it up. Not many tips on manuals the best one I can think of is practice, practice them constantly every chance you get on your bike |
