The Functional Trail Manual: Everyone can learn and use this fun skill on the trail!
There are tons of videos on how to manual here on UA-cam, but the vast majority of these videos teach you how, but very few teach you why we would use the manual on the trail... I'm here to change that!
Learning this skill can add fun and creativity to your riding, all while making you more efficient and smooth at the same time. I love teaching this in my clinics because it's always that one person that looks skeptical and thinks that it's not for them that gets it the best... check it out and leave me a note in the comments on how you can use the Functional Trail Manual.

    I’ve watched a ton of manual videos and can manual pretty well on pavement. The forward bias on the drop down is something I have never heard and I think it will help me. I still really struggle to get that front wheel up on dirt and it’s frustrating. Great video!

    • @twowheelsondirt
      @twowheelsondirt 9 днів тому

      Thank you! On dirt give yourself a target, a reason to manual, whether is't through a dip or up a curb, etc. I think that will open it up for you. Good luck!

    I guess this is what I am missing, I should come down and compress a bit more on the front end and push the bike forward not only with arms but also with feet.

    • @twowheelsondirt
      @twowheelsondirt 24 дні тому

      yes, get those feet(and lower body) involved, the manual is a dance of pushing with the feet and hanging from the arms.

    • @twowheelsondirt
      @twowheelsondirt 2 місяці тому

      Think of it a less of a skid and more of a super exaggerated pre turn… just like a ‘cut’ when running and changing directions, instead of a foot going out, it’s the front tire. In time the scandi will be there!

  • @AdventureAwaits4u

    Nice work. Funny story, we ran into a mother and her young son on a strider bicycle at the top of M before you hit that first 90 to the right. We were going slow letting him do his thing and he fell over going into the 90s. Not sure what they were thinking trying that trail on a bike with 10 inch tires. He was a little trooper though.

    This is advice I received from my Dad when I was a little kid riding dirt bikes, he would often say "GRIP THE BIRD!" as we'd take off for a ride. Originally came from the Golfer Sam Snead.
