Paul's Informative Trick Guide
Here I will explain in detail on how-to perform some basic BMX tricks to start you on your way of becoming a HxC Rider.
How To Manual - A manual can be tricky when learning for the first time. I will lay down a numbered list of rules for this trick to be executed.
1. The Positioning of your Feet
The position in which your feet are placed on the pedals plays a vital role to performing the manual.
One of the crank arm's are going to be extended forward and the other is going to be behind the seat post. Whichever crank arm is extended forward you will want to set your foot onto the pedal a little bit behind your toes on the front pad of your foot. On The crank arm which is behind the seat post you will want to set the arch of your foot directly in the middle of the pedal.
Typically, you do not want your feet touching the crank arms, you will need to set your feet away from the crank arms. Setting your foot behind the first pin on the pedal as a guide for keeping your feet away from touching helps.
2. Pulling Your Handle Bars Back
The easiest way to do this is by pushing your body weight forward and then shifting your weight back locking your elbows while holding both of your hands on the grips in a even position keeping an appropriate weight-to-weight distribution balance on the bars pulling your bottom behind the seat like you're trying to touch your bottom against the tire. DO NOT PAY Attention to anything else but the front tire in the air.. if you have a Maxxis Holyroller then listen for that Sexy Tire to start humming .. The whole point of this trick is to keep your balance with your body weight.
