trialin Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Manual is a fun way to roll forward I think so, even the posture looks not so elegant, you'll see rider's legs trembling always as ling as the front wheel still get aired. I've been trying to do this with a term of practicing, based on vid tutorials that indicate bum bobbing is meant to transfer body weight upon rear wheel axle for balancing, and I experienced that, but how to keep balance both sides? (Right & Left) Should I put all the body weight on bad foot, or evenly into two pedals? The last question, about front wheel, is it raised lower making easy balancing for manual, or highly raised manual squeezes a lemon? Thanks I just finisehd being moron on manual till four hours ago.

Revolver Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Ar you using google translate? If you can type in english without it, you should try that. It would be better practice. Manuals are also something you can only nail with practice. I think it is better to do lower manuals because it gives you more room to correct it if the front wheel starts coming up.

Thanks pal, I don't use google to translate my words, there might be something wrong by my grammar so that makes you feel like reading paragraphs translated by google. Also I think lower manual is easy for correcting, somehow high raised front wheel just needs less power to hang it. BTW, how about balancing both sides?

Revolver Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 It was the 'squeezes a lemon' bit that made me think it was google translate! Sometimes you get odd phrases like that through it. Side to side balance is practice. If you want to know how to stop pulling up to one side, I find when my hands aren't holding the bars evenly I pull to one side. Otherwise you need to practice more. If you want to know how to turn, watching videos wil show you people sort of shift their weight to the side. Tilt your knees and move your arse in the direction you want to go, and you should start going that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that squeeze a lemon is a common slang. you practicing~ indeed. Usually after I airing front wheel, I would put weight mainly on bad foot, sometimes when I fairly seperate weight onto two pedal, that will make me feel like floating and hard to balancing, maybe it's because my hamstrings are not strong enough, so that I feel hard to balance by thighs. :$ Anyway thanks for help dude.
