nose manual

i cant get the hang of nose manuals

 

[KieranPeterson]

just commit. While trying: Learn to catch the ground with your hands before the ground catches your face with ... itself.

can you hang five? It's a slightly different balance point for me at least. Find that balance point and just get the hang of it

 

[tylerbillman]

You've got to

1. Commit
2. Lean forward
3. Learn to either catch the ground or to either throw your scooter away or take one hand off to catch yourself.

Personally, I feel that keeping my arms slightly bent, knees slightly bent, and my back straight help. I think that when I try to keep extremely still I can balance better. It's all about getting to a point of balance and not moving at all with nose manuals. Hang-5s are easier to balance.

Find your "sweet spot" and balance with your knees

bend your knees that helped me alot
i started by puting my front put on the headtube its ugly as but thats how i practiced
o and get hang5s super dialed on the deck
learn how jump into it and out of it
hope thishelps

 

[tylerbillman]

You don't need to learn hang5s first

 

[SammyT]

easier on steep headtube angles

 

[Can]

what scooter do you have?

 

[J SWEETS]

uhh, just lean forward and pump to balance. Its not that hard of a concept haha..

You don't need to learn hang5s first

yeah, you kinda do.
i can do them for like 10 feet, or like 5 seconds, but i have both my feet on the deck because thats how i hang five. basically just move your knees in and out to balance

not really. I had a proride deck which is 86* and I could go to a District deck no problem. Its just about finding your balance point.

Turn your forks around if you have ten offset forks

 

[btyczki21]

I learned nose manuals first, so no you don't

-I keep my arms straight and my knees only slightly bent to balance
-Get used to going over the bars, it happens no matter how good you get at them and it isn't scary after you do it once or twice
-I started out looking at my front wheel but I find now looking further ahead of me helps me go further because I'm not thinking about the balancing as much

okay well everyones different but i could never nose manual without learning hang 5's first

im already used to going over the bars. I usually only go over the bars if i do one for about 3 or 4 feet

alot of practice then, this wont come overnight

 

[Stackies]

Yes, All you can do is practice You'll get them in time. Try doing them over a certain spot Like from one crack in the crub to another.
