I love the chill style flow riding, and I am huge on manuals. They make me feel awesome. lol I am having trouble bunny hopping out of manual though.

1. Anyone have any tips on how to bunny hop out of a manual? I can do it but only curb height, and I'd REALLY like to get this trick down sometime soon... I know practice practice practice but I am really having trouble getting the compression I need without letting the front wheel down...

2. How long before you became comfortable hopping out of manual?

I see so many vids of people hopping like bar height out of manual and it blows my fucking mind away

It's just a bunnyhop, the faster you go the smoother it is

The way I see it is that a manual puts you about halfway through the motions for a hop. Just tuck the bars and yank that back end up. Remember to tuck them knees and you should be good. It really is just practice

When i manny to hop I lower my butt down and spring up, since I can't compress the same way as a straight hop. That way I can get more spring out of it.

Thanks for the advice you guys it helped a lot! Lowering my body and springing upwards is definitely beneficial for this.
