Manuals and manual aids.

[outerlimits]

Anyone ever make a timber frame to practice or learn how to do manuals?
Did it help you learn, or was it a waste of time ?

They're a complete waste of time and don't even actually teach you the correct technique to manual
go outside and practice.
you could easily learn to manny a good few bike lengths in the time you'd spend collecting wood etc. and building the thing

That’s what I was thinking ?‍

If you mounted that frame on skate board bogeys, then you could ride along on the frame and practice manuals ..... ??

Hmm m not sure which one is for me.

Manual manuals

or

Auto manuals

Thinking while sat inside doing absolutely nothing about it or thinking while outside on your bike actually practicing?
One of the above types of thinking will help you learn to ride around with your front wheel off the ground the other not so much.

Probably neither.
A wheelie isn't a manual.
Manuals for most take a fair bit more effort to learn.

They suck as said above teach you such bad habbits, just go out in a carpark and spend a few hours practising, you will soon pick it up.

Thanks for the replies
Went out for half hour to practice and now have these manuals learnt. I have a few minor injuries, but at least I can now do manuals. I can get them up there and hold for about 50 meters average, but I tire easily. More time will build my strength and muscle memory.

Nice one.
That's seriously good work for half an hour mate.

So sick! Awesome work! 50m for your first session is really good! keep just popping them on trails and soon enough, it will be 200m easy manuals

If you have a pump track nearby, pop to that and practise manuals between rollers it will really help you on the trails knowing how to do that.

Definitely neither.
