find the balance point
youre going to fall on your face either a few times or a lot so don't be afraid of that or else you wont get them

im still learing, im ok at them though. if you practice on a carpet it helps to build you confidence and helps you find and maintain control of your balance point. try it.

 

[Steezeman]

Just get the balls to do it. I can say that with confidence because I have no balls and I learned them in a day. They're pretty easy to bail from since your foot is already off, so falling shouldn't be too scary. At least not as scary as normal nose manuals.

forget hang 5s nose manuals are sooooo much better

 

[dre]

ughh, nose manuals are a bitch. I don't feel like learning them because I have a feeling that that would be like learning hang fives all over again which I do not want to do because they took me forever to learn.

lol alex steadman sent me like 4030 bmx videos one day and after watching them i was like, "i'm totally learning nose manuals now"

day 2 of trying was yesterday, i'm making slow progress.

hang fives took me like a week, i can do them for about 20 feet, but i do them with my wrong foot on the foldy so i can't hop into them or anything

 

[brandon kilbury]

but i do them with my wrong foot on the foldy so i can't hop into them or anything

dont be a bitch, i can hop from standing regular into them, you should be able to hop into them too

 

[josepharmstrong]

that is my favorite trick i luv it so much
it gets really frustrateing trying to learn it but u gotta practice at it a lot
once u do it good u can ad tricks to it like a tailwhip or barspin or watever
it took me like 3 months to learn it but now i can do it for 23 parking spaces and add a tailwhip at the end so practice makes perfect

 

[molewood4]

i gotta learn then now.

 

[Jon Reyes]

[mynameisjaymez]

i tried and faceplanted so im never learning that trick ever

[theworm]

- have foot clamped strong onto the deck/mech

- have arms straightened.

- and yeh like practice.

+ i reckon it easy to get locked into balance the higher it tilted
