Video: Actually Learn How To Manual, How To Bike Season 2 Episode 7
I found a sidewalk or empty parking lot was best so that you can track your progress using the lines, its instant feedback of your practice paying off.

@ScroopyNooples: yep im feeling super safe. Fast rough trails are best on a long wheelbase (hence dh bike geometry). Another guy here said manu recommended sizing can put people onto bigger bikes, i went manu recommended and would size down next time. And yeah i might go mullet next time, but thats not my point. Hasn't geometry generally become long though? Regardless, a longer chainstay is going to be harder to manual than a short chainstay. You might have noticed many bikes use the same chainstay length through all of their sizing. Congrats on your practice paying off. No i havent locked in any long manuals on my 29" meta. Maybe ill get some practice in next year.

@tacklingdummy: Agreed. If you are a smaller person with say 29" wheels, or just long chain stays: you are going to struggle to get half your weight behind the rear axle. If you're bike also has longer reach its going to get even harder.

Flat Pedal Shoe Review: Ride Concepts vs Scott vs Shimano vs Five Ten
People that are slipping: i wonder if taking a bunch of pins out of your pedals for a few weeks would help you develop better technique to avoid slipping? You might break your ankles in the process but what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right? Right? Once you go back to full pin youll be locked in!

Flat Pedal Shoe Review: Ride Concepts vs Scott vs Shimano vs Five Ten
@wyorider: I have the vans kyle walker skate shoe (ive never tried flat specific shoes, but as far as using skate shoes on bikes i would say the grip is great), and agree with what your saying about foot fatigue, but if you're tight on cash or stubborn ive noticed that after a few weeks (yeah not overnight) i dont get the fatigue, maybe my feet become stronger. I dont train in the winter so my first spring ride i was feeling the fatique after about 20min of road riding, but now i can go over an hour no problem. And I started clipping in on the road now because i like the upstroke and worry about muscle balance. I've done 100km road/gravel rides before in skate shoes, but late in the season so didnt have a problem with foot fatigue (or my whole body was so sorr that i didnt notice it).

22 of the Best Videos from the Whistler Mountain Bike Park
For me the Roam segment takes the cake, and has since it came out. I dont think another segment has better captured the feeling of speed and ripping while mountain biking. And, IMO, they got the music right.

Video: Friday Fails #221
Hip jump with mandatory minimum pop height? Looks like some people (not me) would have fun with nose bonks etc on that! 2 steps forward and one step back is still progression!
