Anyone else on bigger wheels working on these or have them dialed? Haven't really seen any in vids yet. I can only hold them across smaller boxes but I have no Idea how to pump to keep it alive.
Nose manual..
- Thread starter The DH
- Start date
I work on them all the time...
the only ways I've ever been able to do a nose manual was with speed and balance, regardless of wheel size.
Brakes are just cheating
I've never seen anyone able to "pump" a nose manual in a similar manner to 'pumping' (sometimes referred to as b*tch kicking) a regular manual. All the other bmx'ers I've seen nose manual (myself included) rely on speed and balance.

Here's one not at a high speed.the only ways I've ever been able to do a nose manual was with speed and balance, regardless of wheel size.

not high speed yes, but I don't know if I would consider that low speed either. ANYWAYS. Interesting to watch his body motions as he maintains balance, is that what you were referring to by "pumping"?
Im about as good as you as far as nose manuals, try riding up a quarter pipe and doing a fakie nose manual back, super fun.
Yes, I didn't really mean "pump", sorry.
oster_oops:
Prepare to fall on your face alot before you learn it. Unless you have a front brake to keep you from eating sh1t, it will happen. It usually doesnt hurt bad, just kinda sucks.
where is that park?No front brake allowed!
from the other day....
Wakefield, Va. It's one of the bigger ones around. get that bike built yet?
i know they're jammin front brakes ... but these brazilian kids deserve serious props on the nose manuals on some ghetto mountain bikes.
check the first trick....

some of the mid-school kings like dave osato, jay miron, and dennis mccoy used to KILL nosewheelies. they did use brakes but barely... they would coast pretty far before barely feathering...
true though that new school brakeless street nose manuals are sick... they owe a lot to pro flatlanders phil dolan and alexis desleneaux who were probably the first to really rule brakeless nose manuals around 99 or 00.
i will grant you brakeless nose manuals (or nose wheelies as they used to be called)

i can only get em for 10-15 ft max about 30% of the time. its really hard with suspension and a major lack of skills. with our bigger wheel sizes it throws the balancing point way way off and really high up in the back
Indeed, I'm sure the slacker ht angle also plays a big part in making mountain bikes so hard to nose manual. Ive never seen anyone do then very far at all on a mtb, and I wonder if anyone actually is able to do them for a good distance. btw, those brazilian kids king the nose manuals haha. mad steeze on sh1t bikes.
I've seen BMX riders do it all the time, on a mountain bike though, I've never seen a decent one.
