Long, Longboarding manuals

**Skipper** · 01-05-2009 08:13 PM

This is a video of one of my friends doing few long manuals. Usually the reason that he can't go farther or longer is that he runs out momentum or road. All I can say is that I wish that I could do them that far.

holy Jesus.. this kid is a beast... can he do them well on the nose as well?

no that board i a sector nine cosmic series so it doesn't have a nose. thinking about it none of our boards have noses, but i'll ask him to turn it around and try it.

You should tell your friend to clean his bearings! I'm willing to bet he'd have a much easier time with distance and speed if they rolled smoother...they sound like a cement mixer in that video...

I'm got him some bones swiss for Christmas and that video i believe was taken before that.
I think that he is going to try it again because if the wind doesn't blow up the hill he keep up his speed and clear that dip and probably go for the rest of the road.

I'm not sure if there is a guinness record for that, but he sure has the potential!

props to your friend. i have these down as well. once you get them locked theres no going back!!! nosemanuals are a little trickier just because they're more affected by bumps and road imperfections but i can get them a city block long just pushing off.

Well we went there today and he made it past the dip and all the way down the hill. We measured it out and its like a little over 0.4 miles. Next time we will try to film it and I ll get my other friend to post it on youtube quicker this time and then I'll post it on here.
