The Easiest way I know is to Shift all or most of your weight Upfronts, and whenever you feel shaky slam down on the back

Talk to people who really can do nosemanuals (coedie, dan barret, corey, easter... i cant recall more at the moment) because they know the best what's really going on with nosemanuals, because people who can't do nosemanuals won't give you good advice since they can't do nosemanuals even by their own advices.

start off doing it one footed, to overcome the fear of falling (because you can just put your foot down if you over balance), and then move to two footed gradually. Or you can even stick with one footed nose manuals (they don't look as good though).

I got myself banned.
Dre's pretty much right, learn hang 5s until you dont need the foot off to balance. Its practice, and with these its alot of practice and balls.
 
waaaaaaaaay to hard to help you. this actually one that you should experiment and use you own style on this.
took me a looong time too get them good
so just experiment

i can say only that dont learn one footed nosemanuals, if you try with 2 foots then you will be same shitty as you would be without one footed nosemanual skill.. actucally its pretty easy to learn.. start making lines on ground. i did do like that, 2 ft, got it, then 3 ft and so on until my record were 19 meters but i cant do nosemanual with both feet but the one footed is also cool (A) :D

Practice falling over the bars and catching yourself. Even if you don't think that is a problem, it usually is. Subconciously, your mind is afraid. Practicing falls will help get rid of that seemingly insignificant fear. That helped my flatland a lot. In fact, it helps with all of my tricks!

don't forget j rizzy, he can hold em one footed on a scooter forever.
jon learned em first on a skateboard just puttin ghis front foot like where the trucks are and doing one footed nosemanuals, and once you've got those good, you put your front foot like up on the tube in between the the foldy mech rails (dunno what its called) and just lean forwards and give it a try.
