Ya, me to I can barley stand on. I tried standing still next to a wall(to break my fall) and just practising balancing (someone told me that would help) and i still held it for 1-2 secs. HELP US!

You might be putting your wieght too far forward. That's what I do. You have to put more weight right on top of the back tire. I recommend helmets because you might fall back and crack your head. I'm terrible at manuals, but I'm working on them on my lowrider Schwinn. Their easy because all the weight is in the back. Without kicking, I can manual for about 5 seconds.

you've just got to find a 'sweet spot' on your board where you feet feel nateral to manual.... and then you just keep your arms high and your centre of gravity over your navel
