Video Transcript

"As I said a manual basically is just a wheelie that you are doing without pedaling. The basic way that you do a manual it starts off by pulling up on the front wheel and what you are attempting to do at this point is basically center your weight so that all of your weight is balance over your back axle and it would allow to coast a wheelie which is a manual. The basic concept with this is once that once you get up you can't just hold that position there is a number of different things that you can do to maintain that position but just by pulling up your not going to be able to get into that balance point. There's a very big balance point with a manual you can have your weight center in a couple of different areas but through a combination of pulling and pumping with your arms and your legs you are actually able to maintain your center of balance over your back axle. Once you get those skills down you can manual as far as you want to. "
