DUDE! this is what Braille and those other million subscriber challenges dont tell you. Just one simple tip thats so precise yet is the difference between you landing and rolling away from a trick or messing up. I've watched your videos for a while now and overtime have come to realise how underrated and helpful the channel is. Keep up the good work thx for helping me out on so many tricks :)

that nollie flip at 1:20 is sick af

Oh boy, this was gold. I've been skating for 20 years now and manuals have never been my thing. This tip (along many others on this channel) just made it click in my brain. Thanks for that! You have a keen eye for these details!

Boiiiiiiii you ARE sooo good you helping me really thanks bro

Thank you before this video I could only many for 2 seconds, after watching this and having a quick many session I can go for about 12 seconds

Dude, yes! Thank you so much for this. I could barely hold one for a few seconds and maybe go like 10 feet at best. Now I can hold them over a minute and make it across a whole tennis court. Not one video I watched mentioned this. Seriously, thanks man 🙏

A tip that helped me with nose manuals was to land on it with a straight leg, not locking your knees straight tho. One of those rare aha moments for me and i got em down very quick

Thank you, that was so helpful ! Tre flip nose manual was SICK !

This is literally a game changer. Tried it today and now I can manual more at ease. Thank you.

Been struggling for years with decent manuals. I always knew I dipped my toe too much but it wasn’t until I watched this and actually put more weight into the heel side that they actually got fixed. Cheers dude, made a massive difference to my skating 🍺

Thanks for these amazing tips man, you can’t begin to guess how helpful these are. These are months of frustrations trimmed in a few minutes.

Trying to learn and just watched the other 4 major tutorials on manuals, you are the only one who mentioned this aspect. Really good insight. 🙏🙏🙏

Your insights are really helpful because they key into specific details rather than just generalizing about basic direction, movement, etc. This is how we learn tricks, even if not consciously--we might be able to get about 60-70% toward learning a trick but the devil is in the details so to speak when it comes to really adding a trick to your repertoire. I was trying to explain how to skate to a friend of mine who just started and it made me realize how many small details I take for granted and never really think about.

Thank you for this vid. Been doin manuals for over 10 years and never thought of this

Man you have the BEST explanations in youtube. I appreciate these videos a lot! You go way into more detail than the Ride Channel videos

Was kinda expecting a 'do 'em all the time, everywhere' trick tip, but this was really informative and something you don't often hear about. U used to always try to 'pinch' my nose mannies on my toe side but lately I've been finding that holding 'em on the heel side makes for a steadier manny - especially if I'm trying to nollie or shuv into it (no flipping in for me, I'm in the geriatric squad)

It’s the subtle things that make all the difference... 🙌🏽 much thanx!

Never thought about it. I have been working on manuals for the last 4 session. Feel like i need to go try this before i edit the next video. Good tip thanks.

Been skating for 20 years, I never thought of that ^^ I'm not much into manuals but still... I guess I'm a heel guy on mannies and a toe guy on nosemanny - thanks for the insight as usual man :) KEEP IT UP !

Never heard the heelside/toeside advice - def gonna try this, I feel it's gonna help me finally unlock those manuals. Thanks a lot!

Best skate tutorials on yt !! For me I focus on toe side, and I always like curl my toes to grip the board

Definitely worth mentioning. I thought Daewon did that but never gave it another thought so thank you I'll try for sure

Dude... this is definitely the best piece of gem on how to manual. No other video I've seen on manuals talk about pivoting *between* the 2 wheels for balance! Priceless!

Great tip went and tried and realised i always tried to focus leaning down the centre of the my heel to the sort of flat pocket just on the outside after the bolts.. nose manny a box is the next aim i guess

I honestly thought the pinched manual thing was a joke but this makes so much sense. In hindsight I can never hold them if I land on my back wheels evenly but if I land toeside or heelside on flat I usually "lock in" to them where I only need to worry about "steering". Great tips! Excited to practice some more with this in mind.

A detailed and precise explanation on a trick I’ve always struggled with. I look forward to trying this on my next Skate session. Keep up the good work with this great channel 🙌

Thank you thank you thank you for all your tips! Pure gold!

I'm 37 and I've just started learning to skate ;) I've made it my current mision to be able to do a proper manual. Every day I discover new nuances that go into it - rear foot placement, the bend in the front foot, body position. I'm going to try this tonight too ;) Thanks! :)

Thank you for all these great videos, they helped me out 👍🏿

I have been struggling with both nose and tail manuals ( I do not know if such phrase even exists) for more than a year, and your tip might be the secret ingredient! Tomorrow early in the morning I'm gonna focus on the toe or heel factor! Thank you!

Can’t believe I haven’t thought of this! Excited for tomorrow’s session!

Thanks for the tips. I think I've never heard any other skate tutorials that mentions about deciding to balance on either the heel or toe side, this would be a huge difference in improving the manual trick. It's like deciding whether to push goofy or regular. I would definitely try it.

I have never thought of this thank you so much.

Thank you so much!! I really needed this!

Thanks for the amazing content you bring

This video changed my life. Thank you.

Thanks bro for keeping the skateboarding community alive

I didn’t know this so thank you. You always have good tips.

WOW I have literally never heard anybody discuss tilting to the toe or heel and never even noticed people doing that when they manual. Amazing tip

Really great video, bro! Thank you so much, this helps a lot!

Thank you! The heel or toe tip just blew my mind \m/

Good insight. Thanks!

That's cool, I hadn't thought about it, imma try

This was really informative and also explained how I broke my arm trying them last time. I didn't figure out how I wanted to balance, so I got the board wobbling from side on top of the manual (and it being 12am...). Stoked to get back on it and try again soon!

You've very talented bro, thanks for sharing your knowledge

I never knew this! I think this explains why I can’t manual once I Ollie onto something. Damn it’s been driving me crazy, thanks man.

Thanks for the tips! Keep it up homie

This tip came to me in a dream but only now do I see what the message was. I will try too

👍🏻 keep em coming!

I suck at manuals, will defo have to give this a try and hopefully it will help me.

I can't wait to try this today. I absolutely suck at manuals and I hope this helps!

This is a really interesting observation. Gonna try it out.

I was having trouble with locking in and grinding frontside nose grinds pretty much because I kept wanting to be balanced on the heelside and that just made it shoot over or angle in to an awkward front krook. Locking in toe side on a front nose would help level out and keep it going forward.

This is a brand new concept to me imthere have been days where i Manual for days and days i can barely keep my wheels up

I knew it....whenever I keep the weight on my heel over the one wheel I can balance it but I kept thinking i was doing it "wrong" and that I needed to stop doing that and keep the weight completely even on the tail....glad you did this video so now I don't feel wrong still.

Big help for me bro! Thanks

You’re awesome, dude

3:25 this fixed it for me, ty brother! *damn ace trucks* 🙃

Great tips as always 👍

Great tip thanks

Really helpful thank you

What's helped me with many's as well as this, Is just making sure I flex my back calf super hard when Im in many

Good video I'm learning this

awesome video and god damn this makes me want to play THPS 4!

I would really appreciate a tutorial on how to Ollie out of a manual. I feel like when I do a normal Ollie, there is so much power coming from my knee, calf & ankle, but with the Ollie out of a manual, it’s all down to the ankle, which makes the pop really difficult! I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.

damn saw that clip of you mannying that huge circle thing in downtown SA and subbed immediately

Solid video brohaus thanks for the tips

The best thing I heard was to find that sweet spot when u raise your front wheels and just stay still like you’re frozen . After I applied that tip I could manual longer than all my friends . Even the ones who have much more skill than I do .

Thank you!!

i didnt know that , thanks !

I think this video might have just changed my life foreal. Wish I could have subscribed years ago. Will now.

That's a hack that I never heard before! Can't wait until my knee heals from my last bail so I can get out and try it!

A manual is definitely a trick dude

Appreciated

Great channel🙏🏻🏆❤️

i definelly havent tough about resting my weight when doing a manual, now i understand why it takes me 15 minutes just to pop and get into a manual that wont shatter mid way.

Imagine being able to nollie 180 flip an 8 stair and being like one day I will go Pro this guy is the best skater non pro on KZfaq fight me? Ridiculous, Pros don't share these tips friends bask in the glory! For you have borrowed greatness in itself, also drop a like and comment, he deserves it.

I can't wait to get out and do some manuals after watching this video . Choosing to rest on the heel or toe has definitely been something that I've struggled with . I ride my trucks on the looser side. In retrospect whenever I've done my longest manuals was when I fully committed to either the toe or heel as a resting point. Good tip mane

What am I supposed to look at for the best balance? As of right now, I’m looking at my front foot/ nose of the board while manualling.

Thank you

Never thought bout that

U should do two ones related to this one on how to kickflip into manuals and how to flip out of them

Bro my manuals went from half a second to straight up ten seconds W tip

i love you with my entire heart

You should do like a starter/begginer series or whatever that you explain every single trick from the start like before tho u should make videos on how to put ur legs on ur board and really simple stuff and then upload tutorial videos with the begginer tricks like ollie then 180 then shuv it then kickflip then heelflip and inside the videos u give every possible information and then u will advance to an advanced tricks series where u gonna be doing more advanced stuff like tre flip varial kickflip + + . That will help a lot of begginers , you gonna grow ur channel and that was my suggestion sorry for the bad grammar and hope u the best !

Do a vid on varials

Sick

Been skating for 18 years and never thought about that

superb, i never thought of toe or heel. thanks great tutorial. I cant manual :

Thanks 😀 Peace

I can manual pretty long and I used to put my weight on the heel side wheel too,but it's hard to pop when I try to manual ollie or manual kickflip, the pop is so weak.because with a usual ollie we put our toe on the tip of the tail,so that we can get enough power to pop by using the ankle,but when I manual,I have my whole foot in the pocket and have to keep the foot flat，that makes the pop uncomfortable.any sugestion? can you do a tutorial about how to manual kickflip or sth, really appreciate it.

Thank you I hope this works

You helped me pop shuv and heel flip a couple years ago. Hope you’re doing good 🫡

Keep your head centered between your center most of gravity. Point your toes slightly forward. and keep your off-ground side loose, but aware.

Thx

Can you do a now and later reflection vid on giving up on getting sponsored and instead choosing the path you're on now?

I need to do the beginner trick like manual, pivot, and caveman

Living in SA? Thanks for the manual tips

I do have tony have Tony Hawk pro skater 4 and Ametican Wasteland but on Gamecube

@05:17 bro those moves were *DOPE* af
