How to MANUAL, Build Confidence, Learn the Balance Point, Foot Position, Safety, All Skill Levels

I really appreciate all your vids, and your verbal fluidity (lol) ... don't think I've heard you go ummm ....ummmmm ..um, ever, in any of your videos. Ummm 🔥

manuals, a timeless trick with so many possible variations. love em.

Thank You, Dude, your lessons are very helpful for me. I consider You as my virtual coach. So much usefull info, tips...and fantastic positive and motivational vibes! Cheers!
Best regards from Russia with love )

Way more helpful info then Braille provides👍👍

Why do you suggest ollie before manual? Isn't ollie much harder than manual?

I`ve been watching tons of tutorials, but your channel is a real pearl!! Everything is explained in such an attentive, detailed and caring approach, and JB radiates super confidence and positivity! I really start understanding more about the mechanics of skateboarding bc I`ve been exercising mostly intuitively before. Great job guys, you rock!

✌👍

Does it matter how tight your trucks are for manuals?

Danke! Keep on doing what you are doing for the Skateboarding Community!

Whenever I attempt a manual, I end up getting my front wheels off the ground and put them back down on the ground in a quarter of a second. Any ideas or just continue to work on balance?

Love the history

Listen, great video, but why the FUCK would I need to know how to knee slide lmao

Detailed and helpful! Thanks!

I've got back to skating after 10 years break. All I'm doing now is sticking to your advices. I'm progressing with each session, and is so satysfing. Thank you guys!

Thanks man ,

Aaron kyro would've said you needed to be able to kickflip underflip Lazer disaster stal combo to do thos

Great Job!!!!! Aurélio , Brazil

Hi Man a suggestion please!I don't live near a skatepark or smooth concrete grounds...only aspahlt like normal street( often rough). I have differents wheels : Street wheels(spitfire 97a 54mm or bones 56mm 84b) or are better bones rough riders 56mm 80 a to be more fluid on manulas and learn it? Thanks a lot! \m/

nice

Great lesson.Any chance for surfskate?Poland.

This felt like a home renovation show maybe… have been skating 20+ yrs I was really hoping for a couple tips to get my nose manuals more solid. But there were a ton of actual tips that were completely left out- that you were obviously using in the vids. Like explaining the pinch point to your heel or toe, that allows you more balance and can help turning, like you kept doing on and off the ledge. Also explaining truck tightness would have helped a few people I’m sure, but idk, much❤️

Thanks!

What trick was it invented or at least made popular by Rodney Mullen

Hey JB have you thought of doing a stretching video?.. Seems like a good way to prevent injuries...

thanks but .... I fear manuals and wheelies are completely abou tbalance, not technique. You have it or you don't have it.
I do not.

So funny unnecessary criticism. Doing a manual on a skateboard is the exact same thing as doing a manual on a bicycle. To make it like a wheelie you'd have to figure out a way to incorporate some pushes.

so much better than braille!

I love your lessons! Thank you so much!

Awesome video! I'm a little frustrated as I can hold the position quite well when not rolling, but as soon as I try to do a manual rolling, I always lean back just a bit too much and the board shoots out. As soon as I figure that out, I'll be manualing like a champ.

Fantastic video as always! Only one complaint and that's regarding the volume of the intro music. It is screaming loud. This is generally the case on this channel but the content of the videos is so good so I usually don't mention it. Just thought I'd point it out this time, hoping for a slight reduction in volume for future videos :) Thanks, and keep up the good work!

One of your best videos! Overall just keep doing you and I’m sure the vids will keep getting better just like skating

How to find your balance point chapter. Very helpful, where my head is and again - its all in my head (again) lol

The addition - wear quality pads and helmet clip was RAD! the little ding sound on the cut to padded up ... hells yeah

great tips, now i know how to explain it my 7 yo son! i was actually stuck on how to describe manuals to him in a way how he would get it

Very nice JB keep em coming!

we want a JB in every skatepark of the world!

This channel is sick! The best skateboarding's channel ever!

thanks for this lesson

the key to balance is great advice

Thanks for all your videos! Before watching it, I was sceptical about hiring a skate teacher, but now I see the importance of guidance. Lots of love from Brazil!

The time and love spent in these videos shows. Never heard of finding your balance point first. Kind of obvious now. Thanks.

This might be a weird question but Josh what is your shoe size because I’m looking for a new skate deck because mine is way too narrow (it’s a 8.0).

hmmm I think I can manage to hold my balance for about 1 second?

Спасибо!

Pads graphic are awesome!
