i cant manual for shit... maybe 10-15 feet tops. i just started to get them properly. i can wheelie a good 3-4 blocks. a buddy of mine can wheelie basically forever. his front tire has like no wear on it cuz he only uses his back. he once rode from the pen center mall (for those of you who live in st. catharines) to the bus terminal (thats a good few miles)without putting his front tire down.

Once I actually got about 15-20ft at high speed but after that I kept flipping over. I hope to actually get it down this year

I think that 70mph manual on NWD is a little exagerated.
I had a truck tow me down the steepest road in town and when i started to manual i was just over 75 kms an hour..street tires on a singlespeed hardtail, and i wasnt picking up anymore speed.

you have to be behind a large vehicle, like a van so that you can draft off it, if your just out in the open then yeah youll lose speed. but whether exagerated or not it was still impressive, as was the stoppie at around 60mph i think.

I only ever manual at strolling pace and can get to about 30ft, not amazing, but not bad considering i don't get to ride much...
