    It's important to mention is to jump just high enough to get onto surface with your wheels. The higher you jump the harder it will be to land and hold your balance on rear wheels, same as with grinds and slides.
    So bend your knees, jump, land with your knees bent just high enough to get into manual and the rest should be easier.
    Poping tricks out of manuals will largely depend on the balance you get and the strength of your legs.

      This is accurate. Similar to grinding rails, if you Ollie to high, landing and controlling is nearly impossible. I should’ve added that in this video as well.

    Manuals are the ultimate patience test. I’ve learned if you are in a bad mood, just save it for another day

      So true! I’ve given up many-a-day.

    I am so happy to land my first Ollie to manual on flat and on the pad. I did it after watching this video and following some of the steps.
    The only thing I changed was:
    Before Ollie to manny, I did like “no pop” Ollie to manny, with just a little tail push. This step helped me gradually getting the real Ollie to manny.
    And I also tried doing Ollie to manual stationary while holding to wall.

      Congratulations on getting your wheelies! Thank you for sharing this. I’m always hyped to hear about skaters learning new tricks. Tag me on Instagram if you got a video.

    Haha! I like how you said you are not the best at manuals then proceeded to show us a video of you kickflip onto a super tall stage, land into a controlled manual then 3 flip out. I can only dream of doing that trick! That stage is insanely tall, I can barely ollie on top of it on a good day

    • @NormanWoods
      @NormanWoods  4 місяці тому +1

      It’s just relative. I had people with much better manny skills in mind. I do my best though. Just like everyone. Filming parts just makes you very critical of your skillset. Hard to shake that mentality.

    Manuals are my all time favorites🫡🔥🔥🔥

    Manuals are great foundation for building balance and board control. They naturally translate into clean 5-0's and nosegrinds.

    • @NormanWoods
      @NormanWoods  4 місяці тому +1

      My 5-0 got so much better, when I learned to manual well. Used to balance them, tail wouldn’t even touch the ledge.

  • @joshuadavid1804
    @joshuadavid1804 4 місяці тому +1

    I've noticed the body has a natural reflexive impulse to land on our toes but a manual, especially the nose manual requires you to land even toe and heel almost flat footed which feels very unintuitive. I really like your idea training with a fence to hold onto first because that will condition the body feel comfortable into the unnatural position required to hold a manual.

    • @NormanWoods
      @NormanWoods  4 місяці тому

      DUDE! This is one of the hardest parts of flipping into mannys. You want to land on your toes. But that makes it tough. It’s not so hard, for me, with just Ollies in. But flipping in, it gets annoying.

    What's the difference between Normal manual and a nose manual because both tricks don't work the same way

    • @NormanWoods
      @NormanWoods  4 місяці тому +1

      Nose manual is on the nose. That’s a separate video. Balance is very different for each of them. Nose is easier for me.

    The shoes can affect the way you skate that’s a fact brother

    • @NormanWoods
      @NormanWoods  4 місяці тому +1

      Such an unfortunate fact. I’ve had a couple of run-ins where bad shoes had a very negative consequence.
