Find your Balancing Point
The toughest element about studying to guide is to discover your balance point, most of the people when they first try and analyse either pull to little or too much. This either reasons the front end to drop immediately or the character landing on their back from pulling to difficult. A trick that actually helped me enhance my manualing was usually having 1 finger for your brake and while you're about to fall back to ways supply it a mild faucet.

I had been disappointed not to find Giro highlights on Quest, just seen an ad for it on DMax. Happy now.

These days the bmx kids are all brakeless. Really hard to manual like that.
rear brake works best
Ha no, I just turned my brain onto Thesarus mode and tried to work out the words OP was meaning to say. Can't imagine what my wording would be like if I tried using a second language though, I'm a little rusty.
Well done Tommy. Much effort?
The toughest element about LEARNING to MANUAL is to discover your balance point, most people when they first try and PRACTICE either pull to little or too much. This either CAUSES the front end to drop immediately or the RIDER landing on their back from pulling TOO HARD.

Ish.
Manuals - basically a wheelie without pedalling. It's a bmx thing. Pretty cool.
pulling wheelies?
Translation into English please. Something about plumbing?
