Maybe your fork is too soft in the front...or your seat is too high??

is it the stock fork
cuz if it is
thats the problem. but hmm i agree with energy star check the height of the seat.
its either that or you just need to practise a lot

Over-exaggerate the manual. Push the bike out from underneath you, from here you will have a better idea of the balance point...just don't forget to put your feet down.

try pulling back harder, and pump your legs for balance. i ride an sx trail and a p2 and i can manual for ever and i dont use my brake... soo iunno how much of a help i am. manualing is fairly easy just takes time to balance and go longer fork softness has never effected me

do you have rebound adjustment
if you do turn it to the max rebound it will make it easier to manual

ii don't find that the softness of the suspension makes a difference, i rode a devinci Johnson with a medium frame and i could manual so good in it, but when i went back to my Kona stink (large) i couldn't do shit. I think its the geo of the frame or the size of the frame.
