I found that if you are in the sun, watch your shadow and try to make a C with your body.

The "C with your body" mindset helped me get over that last hump, now I can lock in those nose manuals confidently, now for the G-turn.

Once again... you sling false accusations.

You apparently have never been to a user's Statistics tab in his or her profile.

It shows previews of the last 25 posts... At the time, that post was number 2 or 3. Wasn't too hard to find. It was a great laugh. I find the hypocrisy very humorous.

I don't hate you two. I just wish we all could get along. You like telling people to use the search tool. I like telling people to use the search tool. Let's just join forces and improve SF altogether.

I honestly don't like telling people to use the search function but I will admit that this feud is pointless and won't get either of us anywhere except like a quarter of my rep gone but that doesn't matter at all. I'm certainly willing to set aside our differences for the sake of SF.

and g turns are actually really easy once you're decent at nose manuals. My tip for g turns would be to wind up and then finish unwinding as you begin to rotate and leave your shoulders open throughout the rotation. Also, its better to struggle with getting the full rotation while learning but hold out the manual rather than getting the full rotation but only pivoting...if that makes any sense. The challenge series trick tip is pretty good

manuals are a pain. it seems like it's repititious failing and facepalming until you get it right. i'm learning myself and when i get it locked in, it's locked in. you kind of just feel it... however, those sparse moments of glorious nose manualing are constantly interrupted with me eating dirt

my BIGGEST issue is me not keeping the board stright. just keep practicing man, you go it

[Reecle]

When learning to manual i used a road with a very very very slight incline. That way I could keep moving for longer and hold it without going to fast. Just like a bike, its easier to do it moving. Just don't go too fast

Whenever you can, no matter where you are, test your balance, walk in a straight line, stand on one foot, yada yada yada

i personally believe that practicing the manual when you're drunk makes you better
