Dan’s Comp coming through with a new How To video for your viewing pleasure! This time around they have a video with a ton of tips and advice on how to manual on a BMX bike. This is a trick we’ve seen covered before, but it’s one of those building block tricks that takes a bit of time to really dial in, but once you have it figured out you can add it into different lines and combos. So, if you want to learn how to manual, get on that play button and then grab your bike and get to work! This is a trick that takes A LOT of practice, and you can almost always progress with it, so don’t give up if it doesn’t work out right away.

“Manuals are one of those fundamental BMX tricks that every rider should try to learn. Not only are manuals extremely fun, but they open up a ton of other trick possibilities. In this weeks video, Mike breaks down proper manual technique including the proper way to pull up, balance and turn.

These tips and techniques are not regulated to just BMX. The same principles can be applied to cruisers, dirt jump bikes, mountain bikes, big wheel bikes and so on.” – Dan’s Comp
