You asked, and we brought it to you: a manual episode!

Join us as we breakdown one of the raddest things you can do on a bike. Here, we separate a basic "puddle manual" from the "BMX manual" and focus on learning the simplest version first. In this episode we discuss:

• A bit of theory on stability and balance
• How skill development relates to stability and balance
• How this impacts our teaching
• Some pre-reqs for the manual
• Terrain choice
• Stretching
• Bike set up
• Goal setting
• Why we should know how to manual
• The basic steps
• How to practice
• Patience and being kind to yourself
• And of course, the donut of the day!

Let us know if this helps you with your pursuit of the manual!
