How to Manual, Step by Step

  1. Roll at a steady speed with your back foot on the tail and front foot behind the front bolts.
  2. Shift your weight back until the front wheels lift.
  3. Hold the balance point with small adjustments of your hips and arms.
  4. Keep the tail just off the ground.
  5. Shift your weight forward to set the front wheels down and roll away.

Manual Tips

  • Balance comes from your hips, not your feet. Keep your knees soft.
  • Pick a target line on the ground and try to manual past it.
  • Use your arms like a tightrope walker.
