jump into mannys

[freelance]

i have a big problem... im pretty good at manuals but i cannot jump into them help plz

umm if you mean on flat, its hard to jump high and do a trick and land in a manual, that goes for anything i guess, like if your doing it onto a box just try to get high enough to get onto the box so you arent dropping that far into the manual, and try to just bunnhop and lean back so your weight is over your back wheel before you even land. other than tha its just practice

yea, pretty much the main idea (if youre hop mannying up something) is to only get as high as what your getting on and not higher, it makes it a lot easier to do and keeps you rolling faster.

on flat if there is no trick before the manny involved then hop low, if there is a trick just do the trick as low as you can.

basically just be low and youre good.

I do the opposite, for instance with bar to mannys. I have to jump really high and catch the bars before I land to get ready for the manual when I do them otherwise my feet slide down over the brake because I do my manuals brakeless, which makes everything with manny's and barspins in them just a bit harder for me..

try and master your barspins so you can catch em like an inch off the ground, and youll be doin clean bar mannys

I can do that, it's just when I go to do bar to manuals I have to jump higher otherwise my feet slip over the brake and it messes up my manny. Kinda hard to explain because I do my manuals without using the brake at all unlike a lot of people so I have to work around some stuff..

I think most people use the brake to keep balance better during mannys, but I didn't learn it that way so I do it without touching the brake technically making it a bit harder...

If your gonna hit the breaks when you do a jump to manual tap it very slightly or you lose all your speed, speed is key for keeping your front up in this situation and you don't want to lose too much speed here. Try to keep your ballance all on your back tire near the end of the scooter. And if you have a wheelie bar don't even bother with that piece of trash lol.

Flat jump to mannys is more of a hop up than slam the back wheel down while going real fast... helps you hold the balance better. I'd just do it on a box or ledge though

no no, I can do bar to manny's, it just looks kinda sketchier the way I do them, but whatever...

Btw don't feel discuraged if you try to tailwhip into manual and can't get it, its harder than it sounds.

[lloyd]

I suck at manuals. (ha eric, sweet new colors for sig and avatar.)

 

[Kyle]

i dont think you really need to jump that much into a bar to manual on flat, i barely jump at all when i do bar to mannys on flat.
