Manual Machine work?

[Juggernaut]

While longer manuals are for show, shorter manuals are quite useful for pumping the trail

And puddle crossing ?

Is it bad that I can totally see Tony Little hocking this on HSN??

I can't manual for my life do these work?

I wouldn't say useless entirely....like it can help you find where the balance point of the bike is once its up in the air....and its actually not a bad work out holding the bike up on a manual machine...will it help you do actual manuals? no, not at all. Case in point...when i built the official mtbnj @Ryan.P simulator.....Ryan tried it and informed us that it was NOTHING like doing an actual manual....so thats about all you need to know.

There are the people on earth who can ride downhill at 20mph, pull the bars up, find the balance point and hold it there....then there are the rest of us who suffer from excessive *L.O.F.T. 🙂

*Lack of fucking talent

Actual use for riding on your rear wheel and:

Its is more about be comfortable on the bike to be able to move it around, as needed

 

[a.s.]

Be warned- when a high speed manual goes wrong it often leads to a broken ankle or severally bruised tail bone. Ask me how I know.

Lucky high speed for my bike only happens on the roof of my car

Manuals look pretty cool. I tried a few the other day but felt more natural keeping my cadence while peddling and simply hitting a wheelie(or a cross between a manual and wheelie) to get the front up when needed. I noticed that manuals create a slight strain on the back while wheelies are a nice physical balance overall. It probably comes in handy when someone is coasting as the manual doesn’t involve peddling. I want to be on the trails for another 25 years so am picking and choosing things that help longevity while still having fun. In the interim it’s great seeing the different technical stunts that people can do.

How do you like your coffee ? Black, milk or brass (or aluminium, color is a little deceiving)...also, that has to be the smallest pallet ever!

I mean it is the motion/skill, yes. What is the distance requirement for a manual?

Multiple wheel size manuals submitted for your review/approval.

I can ride that on two wheels. Skills.

So when are you hosting a wheelual class?

 

[Mathers]

Manualing may not always be needed on the trails but the ability to do it sets you up to overcome obstacles on the trail. I can manual about 6 feet but practicing it has helped my hop overs..adn it looks cool.

Nicely done. The only thing visually peculiar with manuals is that in order for people to keep the balance makes it look like they are getting intimate with their bike, lol. For real though, pretty cool.

I can't manual for crap. Gotta try practicing again

With all due respect, all I see is you not wearing an helmet while humping your bike saddle...
P.S. damn @Victor I beat me to it!
