i find leaning back a bit helps, bend ur back leg and keep ur front leg straightish! works for me, but i cant do long ones.

i know a lot of people (even me) started learning nosemanuals with ur front foot on the nose and ur abckfoot on the tail...put your front foot covering the 2 bolts closest to your nose and ur back foot looking the same on the back bolts...and practice

[hullo]

Don't lean forward to much and keep your weight centered. Practice is the most sucessful key to it.

Everyone always critizes me, cause I can nose manual a LOT farther than I can manual, oh well. I always think of nose manuals as sort of...building a platform to ride on- as weird as that sounds. I put my front foot on the nose, back foot a little in front of the back truck bolts..and then stay centered over the front truck, and let my feet lift the board up. So basically, I let my feet do the balancing, so if I get off balance, I can just move my upper body a bit, and regain the balance. I've been working on heelflip nose manuals (or was until I screwed my trucks up..), so that I could heelflip into a nose manual on something, then nollie shove it out. I always thought that'd look cool...and the nose manual part, I use the 'platform' thing I mentioned here. It might work for you, might confuse the hell out of you. Give it a shot...good luck.
