yeah, i'll keep trying in the spring because trying to manual on snowy, icey roads is a bad idea. (i'll just fall even faster)

Flat about 200 feet, downhill about 500.

Dobermann's sweet spot, is very sweet indeed.

I can pretty much manual/wheely forever... I'll wheely, manual, stop on the rear wheel, take off again on the rear wheel without puttin the wheel down. I think I've mastered it lol! I haven't fallen from a manual in forever too.
The longest I don't know, if we count doing a manual and the pedalling a bit to catch speed again and manualling again, there's no real end...
as for speed, I once went down a hill following a miata that was doing 70km/h and did a manual for about 5-8 sec which would be quite the distance... it was extremely hard to get the bike at the perfect position and once the bike went down I almost wiped out because the front wheel slowed down and accelerated real quick, trowing the bike off balance...

The guy in the miata was quite entertain though hehe
