Shortcut To Manual: A Bike Tip You Haven't Heard

We are going to learn how to manual, and we are going to take a giant shortcut - trials style! In order to do this bike tip properly, we need to simulate a downhill street or driveway setup, which requires a new feature for the Shred Spot!

Evan came in to help me build a ramp, which opened up all sorts of new possibilities for the space. Big thanks to Teracis for naming the ramp, and also thank you to my Primer Gremlins for their help with the painting!

The hardest part of a manual is holding the balance point as you coast along - but if you're just starting to work on them, how do you know WHAT the balance point feels like? All the times you've pulled up on the handlebars, do you actually know what success will feel like?

In this trials style method, we'll cut directly to the actual body and bike position, which gives you about 95% of what you need to be able to manual. Now that you know what it feels like to be on top of your balance point, it's WAY easier to find that spot when you lift up the front wheel. Knowing what it should feel like will shortcut your learning time when it comes to locking in manuals for the long haul.
