one foot manuals easier than regular manuals?

does anyone else have this problem? for my whole life, this has been the case for me with scooters and skateboards. now don't get me wrong, i am by no means bad at regular manuals, but i just feel as though i can 1 foot much easier, and go much further as well.

so yeah, anyone know what i'm getting at here?

that's the problem with SR... people skim across the TITLE of the thread and proceed to give a half assed response without having a clue as to what you're talking about.

if you guys would have actually read my post, you'd realize that i'm not asking if they're easier or not. i'm asking if anyone else can relate to my problem of having a dominance problem with 1 foot manuals.

its because you have the other foot helping you balance out your weight. Thats the same reason hang 5's are easier than nose manuals in most cases

i am by no means saying one foots look cooler/are better than normal manuals... that's not the case at all. i'm just trying to find other people who share the same problem as i do... everyone is taking this post the wrong way lol.

yeah one foots are easier and you do go longer because your not touching your braking when your riding usually 2 foot manuals you are using 1 foot on deck and the other like lightly touching the brake which makes you go shorter and hang 5s arent easier for me i actually think they are harder then nose manuals

I think everybody agrees that they can one foot manual farther than they can two foot. Well, most people. But you should just forget about one foot manuals and practice two foot all the time.

Brakeless 2 foot mannys ftw.

I find 2 foot easier, only because I can't get the 1 foot manual going, and I also can't hang 5 a metre to save my life, but I can nose manual a bit. :)

Yeah, I understand what ur saying. It is easier for me, you, and just about everybody that scoots. But it looks gay so everybody switches (including me). So yes, if I was having a contest to see how long you can manual Id say f*ck 2 foot manuals and go 4 as long as I can. I used to kick my tailwhips until I did the splits too but then when I was learning dub whips I learned I should use my wrists and now I don't kick. That's just how it works.
