Newb Needs help on Manuals

[Sk8terKid1025]

Ok. I just bought a GT Fly. I dunno if its a really good bike or not. I like it. Well i bought it mainly for transportation purposes but I figure I might as well have some fun with it too. Ok heres the trick help. I'm trying to Manual but I cant seem to do it at all. I have looked at videos and read other trick tips on it. I lean back and pull up on the handlebars but I can ever keep the front wheel in the air. Anyone have any good tips? Or ever had this problem before?

Pedaling just kinda gives you a boost and gets your front wheels in the air more. They way I've been doing it, when I'm about to do it, I have the pedal of my dominant foot at the top of the stroke and I just push it down while lifting to front wheels up. I'm not if that's how I did it because I haven't done it in 2 years.

I would usually start it with a front pull, then lean back, and just think as if I'm pushing against the pedals to move the bike forward or back.

more your arse right back so ur weight is at the back, then pull up the front wheel. Its like a Manual; takes time and practice. except since your riding that dumb thing, you can actually pedal to gain speed while doing the wheelis (it has another name begining with M but I cant recall) yeah, bmx used to be me. Skateboarding is the shizz
