backwards manual

with a freecoaster
Work on your balance.
don't need a coaster. it's a balance point thing.
Wouldn't it be a lot harder to learn a fakie manual while backpedaling than while not having to back pedal?
Also, just to get technical, if you're back pedaling, wouldn't that be a fakie wheelie? Wheel = pedaling, manual = no pedaling (if I'm not mistaken). Just sayin', that's all.
lean back.
but how would u balance and pedal and go backwards :huh:
180 and you'll have no choice but to pedal backwards. It's the same motion as a forward manual, pedaling or not.
Lean back. I don't think there's much of a trick to this, other then balance, which comes from practice...
I can do them ok on my 20inch but only if I 180 strait into them. Coaster or cassette doesn't matter, it's about balancing... *meaning, you can do the trick with either type of rear wheel. Some may find it easier to learn with one or the other though.

I would think it would be easier without a coaster, in the same way that nose manuals/endos are easier with a front brake. I know that when I try them (I 180 into it), I automatically just spin right back around, like a 360 tire-tap. I'm still working on getting around this.
try this. find a wall to nose bonk into. as you are popping back fakie from hitting the wall with your front wheel, pull up (manual) as you pedal back. sounds crazy but it's a solid way to get the fundamentals of backwards manuals.
If you had a fixed hub, or moved your drivetrain to the opposite side without swapping hubs, you might have a point.Wouldn't it be a lot harder to learn a fakie manual while backpedaling than while not having to back pedal?

Otherwise, NOT.
touche. Either way, you'd still have to spin your cranks. Only one way does it actually provide the forward power.If you had a fixed hub, or moved your drivetrain to the opposite side without swapping hubs, you might have a point.

it depends if you're any good with a coaster or not. easier with a coaster. however, those maryland boys have something in their water. foley and hittle both kill fakie mannies, with cassettes. kranked, that was one of the last intelligent things i've heard from you in a while.
foley, and foley and hittle and other dudes. you're wrong.

lean far back behind your wheel and put some tension/resistance on the cranks when back pedaling so it keeps the front end up. I have been trying to learn myself.
ha ha i love the butt slide on the table thats rad
yeah that made me almost fall out of my chair laughing
i loved the butt slide so much i fwded it to everone I know
