I've been practicing on my manual machine off and on for 9months and your video gave me the missing piece of advice that I needed to take my "manualling" to another level. The simple "keep your front foot heel down" advice, actually helped actuate the hip rocking back and forth motion to keep my balance. Thank you for all your videos and advice. I guess you can teach a 45 year old dog new tricks.

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

Thats so cool!!! Thanks for sharing! Yeah so many skills benefit from that front heel drop, braking, flat corners, manuals, rock gardens, I hope that now you have that little idea in mind it will help a ton :)

I built your version last weekend and am glad I remembered you'd also made this video. Everything you said a person could wrong, I was doing wrong. Ha! Biggest thing being the bent arms. Now if it would cool down enough to tolerate being in the garage for more than five minutes, I could get back at it.

Kyle and April, you are amazing team. Thank you for your very effective instructions. You raised the points, which I missed while using the manual machine. Since last 2 days I have been following your instructions to the point and I am very happy with the progress. NB now in the wintertime I am using my manual machine on a daily basis after spinning as part of my routine training. I love it and I hope to figure out how to manual my fat bike in the snow. So far it is just a work in progress. Romuald

@mrsmith4662 3 года назад

So lovely to see a new video from you guys for the New year! Practicing on this looks like a real skill to master (whilst it's too awful to go outside). Super impressed by that long fast manual down hill at the beginning (scary & cool! ). As always, excellent stuff - look forward to the next one. Thanks.

Another great vid you two. Happy to see this tonight. My wife and I rode South Mountain, AZ - Sara Park, AZ and McCollough Trails, NV on our way back from taking our son to college in Phoenix this last week. Your videos she has watched over this past year have helped a ton. We will be riding Wilson Creek for the next couple months until the foothills are ready and I know she will keep working on what you two have taught her, of course, I have learned so much too!!! Keep up the great work and I pray we get to see you two doing a little racing this year!

@jeffwertz8108 3 года назад

Why can't everyone teach like Kyle?! As much as I love watching you guys, with as many manual trainers videos already out there that I've watched, and you'd already done one, I was like "Another one, really? Boring. Ok, it's still them, I'll watch." Then I watched it and because Kyle breaks it down like no one else, I learned things at a deeper level and things that no one else had said AND got to enjoy watching a couple of the nicest people around. Always bringing the value. How could I have doubted?!!

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

haha thank you Jeff and we are glad you still gave it a watch! I am sure there is usually at least one tip or better understanding of something that people can learn from our videos even if it is a topic they have seen many times before.

@MrGivmedew 2 года назад

Dude thanks!!! I’m totally building one of these. I never learned to manual correctly. I learned on a motorcycle and did the jerky way where your just clutching and braking the bike. Not something you can do on a bicycle. I struggle on the bike unless I’m going downhill. I really appreciate this. I’m building one right away lol! I’ll see if I can get my wife interested too. We are in our late 30s… never too late to learn!

Thx guys, these tips are actually timely and helpful as I have not been particularly happy with my progression despite 2 weeks intermittently playing around with it during a quarantine lockdown. The trainer has helped me improve my wheel lift, down and across movement though which was pretty crap despite a couple of years lame riding skill development. I've now placed two boogie boards under the front wheel and will examine my head and pedal positions, thx heaps !

@dalejones4322 3 года назад

I have watched Kyle and April's manual videos several times in anticipation of me and my son getting to get out on our bikes. I didn't really think I'd be able to get the tire off the ground. Following their example I was able to get to the turtle position on the third try lol. It's incredible that if you do exactly what they say, you can do this. Their technique for getting the tire up is spot on. I wasn't expecting it to be so easy so I was unprepared. This manual machine will help me with that. I forgot to cover the rear brake too lol. Live and learn.

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

That's awesome Dale! So glad you were able to do it, I think we all have to learn the rear brake lesson the hard way at least once haha

@sursor2012 3 года назад

Great job guys! Built this after watching your first video a month ago. Perfect setup for winter months. Took me around 2 weeks to get a feeling of the movement and balance. And then one day it just happened. And since then I do nor have issue with standing in a manual for a long time. I do find it quite strenuous on the lower back though. The fact that I managed to learn it was such a huge self confidence booster. Thank you and April - you are doing awesome job with your videos. Cheers from Canada!

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

Great to hear! It is a killer ab workout too haha I usually can't hold it too long before I get worn out. I have a weak lower back too, so strengthening your core will help with lower back pain. Google "dead bug core exercise" and "bridge core exercise". Then try doing those regularly. My chiropractor had me doing those to help strengthen my lower back, which is pretty important for MTB. -April

Great instruction as always and congrats again on the new building. I also struggle with getting my heals down and this video demonstrated why you want them down maybe better than any I’ve seen yet. Also I have a tendency to veer off to one side and I never knew why, your explanation about it coming from your hips makes perfect sense, now I just have to concentrate on correcting it.

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

Glad you found some useful tips! The heel drop and hip alignment are so hard, but hopefully you can have that become second nature from repetitive practice on the trainer, so it's less to think about when you put it to practice outside!

@Special___K 3 года назад

Great video. Your build video and this instruction got me right up into a manual. After I got the hang of balancing, I pulled the chain and didn't find it any more difficult. After only about 20 minutes of practice, I can balance for about 30 seconds (or until my arms get tired). Doing it on a moving bike is a whole different thing though. I thought the momentum of my moving rear wheel would make it easier to get up to the balance point but it's much harder. At least I have the right technique to practice. 😁

The manual machine helped both my manual and bunny hop! As a new rider i think this helps a ton especially with setting how far back you have to get

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

Thats awesome to hear! Yeah It helped April a ton too. I hear some people say they are pointless but I think if its used in the right way it can be a great tool. Thats kinda what we were hoping to illustrate in this video :)

Great video. My 8 year old son gets out of his cast in three weeks. I'm planning on building one of these for me and him. I'm 49 and I think this would be a way for both of us to become more familiar with our new bikes since it's so hard to ride this time of year. I'm looking forward to us eventually learning all the skills you are teaching. Thanks for doing these basic skill videos for us beginners.

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

No problem at all Dale! Thank you so much for watching and being a part of the channel! It means a lot to us! We hope you and your son have a blast riding this coming season!

Great vid guys. Such a a patience man Kyle. At 60, I am a lot like April when trying to learn new stuff. I built my trainer right after I saw your video build and now just need to take time to get on it and not be so scared. Thanks keep up the great training videos.

I saw in someone else’s how-to-manual video, the reason why having your head forward drops your front wheel down. Your head is a small bowling ball leveraged high on your body. An average adult head weights about 8 pounds. I hope that info helps others who are learning. Another great video, Kyle and April!

@AprilRideMTB 3 года назад

Yes, exactly! Have you seen our riding position video? We used scales to see how much weight can change with some movement, which is interesting to think about. -April ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RkTPBtWDsD8.html
