    Practice on a smooth gentle slope. Have your front leg be stiff and a bit straight. Then move 3/4 of your weight on your nose the other fourth on your back leg which should guide you from not going To high. Practice makes perfect
    I dont need hills to longboard.

    Practice in a parking lot. First get one space, then two and so on.

    You have to find the sweetspot

    It helps to actually put your front foot almost parallel to the board, not sideways. That way you have the precision of your ankle to help you.

    Don't think about it too much. And practice on a parking lot and set a goal for yourself before you know it you'll be able to manual one parking space.

    Dervish is actually harder to manual than a lot other boards. Try sticking grip on the trucks. there is another thread like this too. look there.
