josh i dont stand ski but when i manual i try to avoid the brake because it slows you down and its so annoying on a manual when you have the balance you just run out of speed and are sitting there on your back wheel i rode a welded back brake for like a year and now im getting used to the whole brakes thing

Work on it. I use the fender and I keep my speed going, sometimes when I manual I even pick up speed cause I know how to control the balance and how to pump after tapping the fender. I don't know why people don't use their fender, once you get the hang of it it's easier than mnaualing without it. You don't need to stomp the fender and leave your foot on it, you just barely tap it. Just enough to balance you out.

Back to switch riding guys...But since manualing seems to be a good topic, someone might wanna make a thread on it...it would help a lot of people out that cant manual good.

Manualing is a bit hard to describe haha. It's just something you have to pick up the motions of yourself.

Anyways though, switch stuff. I've been wanting to land a switch 180 superman grab on a quarter, but it seems sketchy. Maybe a switch 360 stalefish. That'd be steezy.

Are you talking about sexchanges or tricks with a sexchanges in them?
I used to do switch 360 sexchanges heelwhips and i thought they looked alright.

I think i sent jake a vid of me doing a switch heel alley-oop 270 to tail tap on a flatbank. Could you post it if you have it jake. It was fresh.

switch isnt when you ride goofy, switch is when you ride the stance you dont normally ride..goofy stance is just when you ride right foot forward, thats it. regular is just the opposite, left foot forward. switch is if you ride goofy, and do a taiwlhip or something riding regular, or vice versa

yea it just feels wierd so whenever you ride switch like for the first time you always just do a sexchange back to your regular stance but you just gotta train your mind to land in switch stance

I used to switch my feet up when I did no footers but I don't anymore, probably because I don't do no footers anymore.
