I'm not sure if that's what it's called but here's the deal.

I'm very fond of manuals, my favorite thing to do a trick in, and do a trick out of. So I wanted to add some variety, and maybe put some reverts, for example.


I'm in a Manual, and I turn my body and I'm in a Switch Nose Manual, does anybody have any tips for these so I can progress further tomorrow when I skate?

Kinda when you turn, lean back a bit, and put lots of force, so you almost drag your wheels. and kinda pop as well, so theres less weight on your wheels, so it spins better. and you have to turn fast. I learnt nose manual to switch manuals first, then fakie to regular..

start off by just doing it without manualling. like lift your front trucks up and imediately do the revert so that you get use to the feeling and so you know how to do it. then try it while manualling. i hope that makes since. if you could already do it without a manual, then sorry for wasting your time.

I can do that but I can't manual revent :-11:... although I have never really tried.

Learn Fakie ollie reverts first, then try to progress from there. At least, that's how my friend learned them. I can't do no manual reverts

Yeah if you're doing a switch nose manual I think that would be a fakie nose. I just practiced pivots and trying to keep riding. It takes a lot of experience and it's a skill that you need to get the feel for. But I do it in one little motion. Not 180 degrees but around 150 ish and then the momentum in your body should give you the rest of the rotation and still keep your body straight with the board to keep going.

Thanks for all the help fellas. I tried it regular to Switch Nose, or Fakie Nose, whatevs, anyways, I can get the actual revert in, but I ca't keep the manual rolling.

Thanks for all the help, continue to add input if you have anything else helpful.
