It’s important to note that the rebound of your fork can change how difficult it is to get your front wheel in the air. I’ve never heard anyone mention this
I think that would mean your rebound is probably way too slow, but in my personal experience if you pull correctly it shouldn't have that big of an impact on getting the front wheel up🙌🏼
In my personal experience it actually doesn't make any real difference either. What does make a difference though is which bike you're doing it on. On my super Enduro it's wayyy harder than on a lighter and shorter trail bike, obviously. But in the end it's not that big of a difference in my opinion.
Good eye man, Im from South Africa, and the trails are awesome here. We are very fortunate to have some great trails, there are no real lifts like overseas though for gravity based riding though.
Well done for trying man! It is not easy at all, the weight makes it a bit more tricky! It took me a while to get it right, but it's rewarding when you do get it right😎
A wheelie is when you get the front wheel in the air whilst pedaling and are seated, and a manual is when you get it in the air while standing without pedaling 💥
ive always heard a manual being a "wheelie" on a skateboard, where you ride on the back two wheels. And yeah a wheelie as always been any bike popping onto it's back. Maybe it's just a dialect thing between different countries
Great question man, and I'm not sure cause I've never given a hybrid a go, but my best guess is to give it a try and see how it works!😎 Let me know if you get it right
How many fingers have you got covering your brake? Ideally it should only be one finger on the brake, more than that and you will lose your pulling power in your grip
I would recommend the wheelie first, it teaches you back brake control & balance💥 But give the manual a try somewhere safe, because the sooner you start getting used to the motion the better
@@a2bbiking me and 2 of my friends tryed this technic yesterday and at first we were not use to it since we all started. But one of friends got a rec of 5 sec beating mine. I still have to get use to it. Since I'm terrible at balencing one 1 wheel.
@@a2bbiking rear on the left(or clutch), front on the right side is the proper and common way of brake handles setup for all two wheeled vehicles. Where is that bullshitt habit came frome, front on the left/rear on the right? Main brake, the one that actually stops you, which one is that? So, if your main hand is right, on which side should the main brake be situated?
@@DimitrosSJ Personally, rear on the right and front on the left makes more sense to me, and it is what I've been used to since I was a kid. The logic I use is that if you look at the bike from the left side of it, the rear wheel is on the right and the front wheel is on the left, and if you get on the bike, it's like looking at the handlebar from its left side, so front brake is on the left, right brake is on the right. Also, this is the right way for right side driving. It is indeed reversed for left side driving countries. The logic behind that is for being able to signal while braking (which is dumb, but there are scenarios in which you need to do that).
@@EricPlayZ132 I don't understand how left or right sided traffic corresponds to brake levers layout? My logic is more substantial - main stopper is the front brake, no arguing here, ok? Meaning that if your main hand is right then you better to use it your main brake. In addition, if it happens so that you'll be riding motorbike or motoroller, you might simply, due to that bad habit - right lever = rear brake, get crashed badly or injure someone else. There is common sense in everything. But I am for sure can't see it in this dangerouse brake lever setup. Only in case you got left main hand. Other than that - no elligable reasons for this kind of setup.
@@DimitrosSJ Because typically while using your left hand to signal (for right side driving countries, left signaling is more common because of roundabouts and similar elements, same goes for reverse driving in other countries, right signal is more common because of roundabouts and similar elements), you can only brake with your right hand. If you have your front brake on the right, it can be disastrous in an emergency brake situation. Again, not saying that you should be using your brake with one hand while in a roundabout... But I don't know, that's how the goverment thought about it back in the day (that's what I've been teached at least...). It makes sense, but it is one of these things where you question it, such as when people speed, yeah it's their fault for speeding but if another vehicle fucks up in the middle of the road, it can turn into a nasty accident, and regardless of who is at fault in that situation, it's important that no one gets hurt, or worse, killed... So I thought it's the same scenario here. Regardless of whether you're at fault or not in a situation where you have to emergency brake with one hand in a roundabout, human lives have to be preserved. This is how I think about the government's logic. My logic is much simpler though, as stated in my previous comment, and I apply the same left/right logic for most things, right goes for back, left goes for forward, I usually dislike having it reversed.
And it's important that you don't do it uphill because you will lose your speed and fall. Always do it down a hill because then you can work with your brakes
A wheelie on a mountain bike is when you use the pedals to keep yourself up but a manual uses body weight. That’s why it’s considered a wheelie on a motorcycle. You use the vehicles form of propulsion not your own weight.
