  • is that a felt jumpshot in the background??

  • One question : How do you avoid falling on your back when you pull the manual... thats the only thing why i dont do manu's..

  • @donziiwww use your brakes

  • Asian people are good at everything.

  • did the camera invert or is your rear brake really on the left hand?

  • @pegasus619Q

    Judging by his accent, he is probably in either Australia or New Zealand which are both countries that drive on the left hand side. The side of the handle bar that the rear brake is mounted is governed by which hand you need to remove from the bike to signal safely on turns. In a right hand side country such as the USA, traditional hand signals are all done with the left hand, hence the need to have the brake on the right side of the bar.

  • I watched this vid a year ago and I can manual now! Lol sweeeeeet.

  • 666 pessoa(s) gosta(m), 34 pessoa(s) não gosta(m)

  • I think that's called a 'wheelie' on a bike, 'endo' if it was on the other end of the bike.

  • @Whoaman555 Wheelie is different because you need to pedal but Manual does not need to pedal.

  • Good explanation. I will let you know how it goes!

  • what if your short, have no brakes, and no pedals?

  • @isaiasf93 get some.

  • Thanks for the lesson, I've started learning tricks and this video helped out alot. I'll send you a vid when I can do them!

  • 1:33 humping motion

  • this guy is asian japanese or chinese hell yea im learning noe like this status if its true 

  • Hello can anyone tell how to do that. When I lift my handlebar it was looking so hevey I couldn't. Please help anyone. Should I change my sprocket or no Becauese they have 42 thoots.

  • y does it involve looking like ur humping ur bike

  • what is that last trick in the entire video called. it would b great if some1 could tell me

  • how the trick in the end calledwhere he spins around his front wheel ?...just starting and doesnt look to hard ;)..

  • @TheFredRu it's a G turn

  • hey im 14m I can katwalk easy as shit , but manualing is inpossible for me , I either lift to high and the bike kicks out from under me or i dont lift high enough , is there a easy way of finding ur center balance of gravity? cause once every like 7 trys i can get about a 10second manual then back to fails .. help lol

  • @MegaWhistleMan yeah. Just focus on shifting your weight back. You are not pulling the hadlebars with your hands. Instead you are shiting your body weight to the back wheel.

  • Thanks for stating the obvious budd!!!

  • nice tutorial but i was looking for bmx manual not mtb tnx enyway...

  • your right things can go really wrong doing a manual. i flipped and my knee went backwords and i broke my shin :(

    

  • @MegaWhistleMan o segredo do manual é puxar a bike para tras com as mãos e empurala para frente com as pernas . ao mesmo tempo .

  • One of the best explanations on "how to manual". Pulling up too agressively or not keeping a low enough center of gravity, were much needed pointers. I'm an adult and always wondered why i would tip side to side, staight away.......thanks for posting.

  • hey i am 12 years old and i cant lift it off my bike offfor a manual

  • @rishavt99 get a 20lbs dumbbell and curl it about 50 times a day. then you should have no problem lifting it up

  • this is an awesome vid! This would have to be the best tutorial out! thanks

  • To learn manual fast , buy a small stem , i have a long stem , i cant manual , but when i try my bfs bike (small stem) then i can do it.

  • it's so difficult to stay balanced without using the rear brake a bit..

  • May i know what hub you are running on ?

  • melbourne drains <3

  • to all trying, you have to be COMMITED. you cant say :i think ill be able to do it" you have to tell yourself you will and that will help, it helped me a lot, good luck everyone :)

  • @MegaWhistleMan Keep practicing, a lot of people have the problem of not being able to lift the bike high enough to start the manual. After a bit of practice, you'll be able to lift it up without even trying :)

  • @wahlan

    i had that problem. try bouncing off your front forks, it springs you back. if that doesn't work you may want to consider buying lighter parts on the front end.

  • i can only hold it for about 2 seconds and i earthier fall in my but or on my front wheel

  • I have quite a heavy Bmx will it still work cuz I'm crap at stuff like this

  • if i have a mountain bike, will this still work?

  • i tried a manual a couple of days ago just on impulse, didnt cover the brake and went straight off the back of my bike which hurt like a bitch. now im determined to learn, with the use of brakes too

  • I can fiinaly say: I finally found my balance point

    its really a diffrent feeling, now i really like manuls but i still cant do that automaticly and not for to long but now they i founded my balance point i justneed to practice but i feel a big diffrent affter i watched this video, actually helped me tofind my balance point ! thanks !

  • i hate brakes lol

  • Are bmx Supost to be heavy mine is

  • whenever i try to manual i just fall straight off the back

  • @NIGGERREPPINDC its harder on a bmx cause its a faster reaction thingy... i dont know how to explain it but its faster, like try it on a monkey bike, it wont work, so i think its easiest on a dirt jumping/ mountain bike

  • @jimmyjimmy6699 ive got a 2011 p2

  • what trick is that at 3:09

  • i cant get the front wheel up high enough if my strong foot is right then should it be in front of the cranks or back near the back wheel ???? any suggestions or help for me?????

  • @247mountainbike this might just be for wheelies, but start slow and in a low gear. heve your stronger foot's pedal up and jut stomp it down and pull up at the same time and lean back. if you lean back too far though, the bike flips and lands on top of you, wich has happened to me only about a dozen times, and i'm sure it will still happen, even though i think i have it nailed..

  • I used to never b able to pull up enough but then i realized tht if u hav straight or legs with almost no bend in ur knees its easy bc ur pushing ur back tire forward

  • is it better to have loose shock or tightened ???? because i cant get the front high inuff when i manual long distances

  • is it better to have loose shock or tightened ????

  • Wahlan: What are your wheels 24 in or 26 in.?

  • What kind of frame is that? I'm 6'1" and struggling to find a good frame for urban mtb.

  • Shit. Whenever I try I either barely get my front wheel off the ground or I loop out and land on my feet.

    Any tips?

  • your rear break is the left hand? o.O

  • hi, i have a 13kg jump bike (so i know its not the weight) and im having a bit of trouble getting my front wheel high enough to balance. please help thanks

    jordan

  • press 7 over and over ...funny

  • hey man i can wheel ect but i ether pull up to litle or to mutch and go over sumtimes i get it but how do u pump the bike ?

  • my brakes stiff...

  • ur from melbourne

  • name of bicycle? plis

  • nice clicking hubs

  • He pulled the front brake...

  • 0:53 need for speed tokyo drift :O lol

  • @jimmyjimmy6699 haha that was funny all the sudden i hear cars racing.

  • @jimmyjimmy6699 it wasn't fast and furious tokyo drift?

  • thank fuck for someone that explains something, unlike shitty expert village...

  • l2 bmx.

  • i have no brakes on my 26 NS, will that fuck it up for me?

  • @BMTHthrashh no 

  • cheers man, balance points are so hard to find ai

  • Can't even hear anything over the wind noise. :(

  • i know most of the things that can go wrong in a manual some things are slightly painful and embarresing in the street lol

  • fork with your bycicle?  Thanks.

  • halp!

    when i pull the bike up, it usually falls right down without me even starting to balance. if i pull it harder, it goes more back and i cant even control the balance anymore.

  • What th fuck? Why are some people complaining about your brakes?! They are in correct position

  • yes you can still hav a good pull, but 40-50mm stem is the best. =)

  • yeww melbourne riders.

  • what bike is that bro?

  • Sun MTX rims are the best.

    Have them on my glory.

  • Equipment makes a world of difference. The chain stay length on the bike is very important as well. The bike in this video has a very short rear end which plants more of the rider weight back to start with. Long chain stays will make it hard if not imposible to do a manual. Cross country bikes are longer in the rear for climbing and do not do manuals worth a crap. A short reach stem will make a world of difference. A lighter tire up front will also make the front end come up easier.

  • lixo hahahha só podia ser japa mesmo

  • Try manual without brake ... then it's a manual ... ! 

  • dude that bike is kick what is it

  • what bike do you have

  • i have pretty much the same problom as he does

    but im 15 yearl old and im a relly good rider myself but i cant manual

    i weigh 74 kgs but i can manual like a meter or something but not longer so please what do i do wrong i do everything you say but i cant do it :(

  • great video and good advice, just a peice of advice for you: try not to do your instructions next to the highway because its hard to hear!

  • you are a really good tutor, a lot better than all this expert village rubbish 5/5

  • wot bike do you use mate?

  • HELP PLEAZE

    I can't manual no matter how hard I try I have been trying for so long

    I dont know why I can't

    how exaclty do u position your body

  • Hello, I Have a UMF Hardy 4 (str. 16) , and i think i am for long for my bike. and i have put on more spaces and a new stem. but Now the bike is like a UMF with str 18... i want to do Manual, i can Wheelie and bunny. Help.

  • are u riding a Norco?

  • if got a giant brass 1 2009 and its been converted single gear, i cant wheelie, its to heavy to pull up. on my old bike i could on gear 2, speed 2 and could do it for really long. now i want to either wheelie or bunny hop.

    good video by the way!

  • you right when u said wear a helmet. i did, but i thought id be like you and not fasten the helmet. i fell off, and before i hit the ground, the helmet flew off. i suffered massive bleeding in my brain, and hope to come out of hospital before the end of the year. fingers crossed. after all the physiotherapy, i hope to have a go at manual riding again. thanks bud.....

  • dude what bike is that? and how much did it cost?

  • is scott aurora ok for tricks

  • that cassette sound is like musik to my ears :D

  • hey can u please help me i need it

    if i have a bike with a long stem can i still pull a good manual reply asap thanks :)

  • @Ibrahem02102244806 it depends on how tall your are. If you are finding that you are constantly stretched forward, you'll have difficulty in pulling up.

  • @wahlan ohk thanks mate :)

  • HELP PLEASE -

    I am 14 and i am trying to manual my Trek 4300D.. but i am not able to.. i can wheelie but not manual.. i dunno why, i think its because i am underweight.. i weigh 54Kgs (124lbs)... is that enough ?

  • @samanthms123 Weight wouldn't make a difference. It is more so your height. If the bike is too big for you, it will make it hard to pull up. If this is the case, i suggest that you get a shorter stem, if you already have a short stem then maybe get a smaller frame. Good luck!

  • @samanthms123 yeah and also trek 4300's a pretty cheap cross country bike that isn't designed for street elements like manualing i had the same problem when i had a trek 6300 cross country race bike, but then i bought a norco 250

  • @samanthms123 weight means nothing bud, you just gotta find ur balance point. a good way to practice is when ur in the motion of j-hopping dont pull ur back end up and try ridding like that. Try in a parking lot where there are the lines of the parking space and keep trying to get further and further. Do one space at a time, for example one space then two then three but never increase untill you can do the space before. reply to me on ur progress

  • @samanthms123 i weight 90 kg and i can do manual an i am learning ,you must only learn and try it

  • @samanthms123 if i'm 180 and my friend is 80, i think you can pull a wheelie. it's practice and bike size. i find if the seat is adjusted medium, not low so you cant pedal and not high so you can't get any force, that's just right. need it low enough you can stomp the petal and the the front wheel off the ground without leaning, and high enough you have that force. then to help, pull up on the bars as you push down on the pedal. the bicke should come up and sit down again. then if your'e feeling

  • @samanthms123 confident, lean back. if you lean back too far, just drop your feet to the road, let the wheel come under your legs, and just squeeze the back brake. you won't be going fast enough to fall...

  • @samanthms123 u r weak....

  • @samanthms123 im 14 weigh less than u its just practice i have friends stronger than me that cant manual or even pick there bike up high enough and i can manual on Almost any sized bikie

  • @247mountainbike cough cough *poser*

  • wrong brake dude O.O

    otherwise very helpful!

  • @AltAirPilot517 Ha actually he has his brakes set up like motocross, soo the left is rear and right is front.

  • what helmet do you have?

  • is it harder on a bmx?

  • @247mountainbike try pulling back and down more. and if the doesn't work try compressing the front tire/shocks then pull back. I probobly shouldnt be speaking tho cause I can't get the manual down for my life :/ I can only wheelie

  • you said rear break but yet you pulled the front lol

  • woo thx got it my first day not to ffar but practice makes perfect!

  • You use 24'' or 26'' wheel?

  • dirty mouth? clean it with orbit...:)

  • is it harder to do this on a full sus bike??

  • could u post a vid on how to do that trick at 2 : 51 or what is it called

  • now lets hope this works for me and my mtb, and lets hope i dont fall ;$

  • it is working^^ thanks :)

  • I could use some tips, when I try to manual I either pull to little, or i pull up and i have to use the break/fall down on my back. The last few days ive fell like 7-8 times. And I havent even practiced so much. However I cant seem to find the balance, my friend told me that I cant snap the bike up to manual with my knees(not pedaling, just snapping). Any tips? Ive done street for about 2 weeks now.

  • @247mountainbike Keep practicing, you're not pulling the front high enough yet.

  • how long did it take fore you to master it?.

  • @charliep9806 You should be able to manual a street in about a week with a bit of practice everyday. After a month or two you will become smoother and use less rear brake and you should be able to manual for as long as your arms can hang on.

  • @wahlan dont manual brakeless trust me lol

  • as will the good will

  • nice helmet

  • what kinda bars & stem?

  • my bike is to heavy to carry off the ground!!what  shall i do

  • @getyourtech how heavy is your bike? Mine is about 30 pounds and i can get it up off the ground easily. Now, balancing and doing a manual is another thing, but i can still get it off the ground. If your bike is really heavy, get a new one to do manuals.

  • why ur left brake is your rear brake?? the right brake is the back brake

  • yellow people is good in everything...

  • yo thanks^^

    greets from Hamburg, Germany

  • Excellent friend!!! Manual ain't nothing easy.. How's the process If I have a Full Suspension..?? To be accurate a Commencal Supreme DH..?? I used to think it was because I'm too small for the frame, but the frame is S and I should be able to get it up..

  • how do u balance with ur legs at 1:25 through 1:35 ur legs bend

  • what kind o bike is it like what is the brand

  • ur bike is hot as hell! x) nice wheelies 2

  • Comment removed

  • i have a regular stock mountain bike will i be able to start with it? plz cmt back

  • i cant fucking find the spot

  • great guide man! i'll try it on bmx

  • you remind me of leon from summer hights hight lol

  • that bike is nasty

  • you have tiny cranks

  • :p you have english brakes right ?

  • Nice helmet and nice vid dude

  • I've been practicing manuals on and off for the past 1-2 weeks on a fully-rigid MTB and it finally started to click about 5 days ago. My wheelies were decent before I started, so brake control hasn't been too tricky, but I wanna start working on "the pump". Can you explain how you're affecting the angle of the lean with your legs? I can catch the front when it starts to loop by using my brake, but I haven't been able to figure out how to bring it back up if I use too much...Thanks!

  • @DMCLN Ideally your bike is small enough such that you can really bend your knees back and get your butt back. If your front really dabbed too far down from the brake, then you're either going to finish your manual up or you can try a couple of crank pushes to try and wheelie your front into the mnual position. Otherwise, it's all just bending your knees and moving your butt (the pump isn't really a technique...it's just natural balance shifting)

  • wht brand is yur helmet?

  • @kingmike2680 TSG

  • thanks man :) good video

  • can a bike be too heavy to do a manual??

  • can a bike be too heavy to do a manual??

  • wht size is yur bike frame? wht brand is yur helmet looks cool

  • i whold like to learn, i will try!!

  • i cant keep my front tire up so it comes down a second i pull it up what do i need 2 do

  • i no how to manual just when i do i lean back too much and flip all most of the time

  • cheers, good teacher :-)

  • sweet!

  • OK, update!

    I just went out and tried, and I seriously cannot pull the front end up into a manual without peddling. When I thrust my arms so that they pull the frame up, it pulls my body forward. So I end up just popping a short little wheelie, and can't get my body back into the position. When I'm looking at this video, you are way back further and your ass is closer to the tire. My arms are too short for me to get that position. Think my 19" frame is too big for me?

  • @Mirage416 Yeah it sounds like your frame is too long for you. I have the same problem when i ride a long frame too. This happens because if the frame is too long, your arms are pretty much locked straight when you go to pull up, it's as useful as nodding your head. If the frame is short, your arms are bent before you go to pull up and hence, you are able to get more weight transfer by shifting your hips, shoulders and back. Maybe have a go on a smaller frame from someone. Hope that makes sense

  • @wahlan

    Yeah it makes total sense. Especially because I remember riding a BMX bike when I was younger and still this same size, and I had no problem flipping the bike without peddling. I'm going to get a smaller frame like you are riding, and I bet things will be a lot different.

    Thanks a lot.

  • @Mirage416 Hey buddy. I was wondering what brand your frame is and how tall you are? Unless you're riding a commuter/cross country bike, you shouldnt' have way too much trouble getting into a manual. If you are riding a dirt jumper/street bike at all....it's usually doable even if the bike is really long. If you want to start learning your manuals, try pulling as hard as you can and leaning back and TRYING to fall off the back of the bike. Jump off the back. Get on bike, repeat.

  • @bluewker

    I can manual on smaller frames, just not on this. It's a Specialized Hardrock 26" MTB. My problem is that when my arms are fully extended, my ass is not back over the tire, but just barely off the seat. I really do need a smaller frame. If I bounce with all of my might, I can't seem to flip the bike. I'm just too small and only 150lbs.
