[@ennolanguss]

I really enjoy your detailed, yet laid back style - as a 38 year old learning to skate I've really appreciated your videos!

[@daanschone1548]

Great idea to practice indoors like that. I've also added manual practice to the end of a session because it's a trick you can do when you are tired of jumping. Btw your tutorials are awesome.

[@SarahParkMatott]

it's a great trick to end with since it's low impact. I like to put it in the middle as a bit of a break between the jumping 😃 And thank you! I'm glad you like them!

[@natepardee3792]

This channel is everything I’ve been looking for. You do such a great job at explaining and not rushing these tutorials

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thank you so much 😃🙏 I'm glad you appreciated my method

[@Jameskeith1972]

I use this method with karate which my instructor told me about . I spend 5 minutes dedicated to each task or section of my routine. It’s a real motivation enhancement. I’m stoked to see it working out for someone else.

[@SarahParkMatott]

Yeah! I am all about taking your time and focusing on the little parts. Skating is so difficult in part because it takes a long time to feel the improvement. But, a little dedication each day compounds over time 💪

[@call_a_mari]

I implemented the foot positioning and tension concepts to my manuals and I saw improvements in only one sesh! Thank you for your efforts! You kick ass

[@SarahParkMatott]

Hey 💪💪 that’s awesome!

[@nooboard]

5:50 stationary on concrete is also a recommendation by Dan Corrigan (Video "Manual Forever Masterclass", he is talking right in the beginning about it at minute one)

[@tjh149]

This was extremely helpful thank you. I'm going to go find a scrap bit of carpet to try this out on. I can't tic tac yet so I'm going to use this method to learn better board control for kick turns and tic tac and then work up to manuals as I think they are one of the coolest tricks imo

[@SarahParkMatott]

Yeah! It’s really great for working stability (muscles/strength) in the ankles and legs anyway! Will definitely help. I also like manuals more and more, the more I watch skating. So, hope you have fun 😃💪

[@TommyGilligan_Bunny]

Another great method and tutorial! Starting today. Very similar to what you said about pressure points, but a tip from another tutorial that seemed to mentally help me: to purposefully pick toe or heel side to rest in, so you mostly have to focus on the forward/backwards axis.

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thank you! 🙏 and for sure! That’s what I was kind of getting at with the not to worry about that axis and just favor whatever one you naturally lean towards. But picking a side is also a good way to not worry about that 😃 That’s solid advice!

[@zingzing7426]

I've just started working on my manuals and as a beginner skater your videos always motivate me and make me understand things better, I'm think I'm going to try to practice everyday the way you did! Thanks so much for all your hard work!

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thank you😃🙏 I’m stoked you’ve found them helpful! Try to make them as detailed as possible💪

[@DomenicT]

What she does with everything is use first principles thinking to break down each skateboard maneuver or trick and that’s why she’s such an excellent teacher.

[@AlishaGarrison]

This makes me want to try skating again! I was taking skate lessons and now it’s been over two years since I’ve been on a board regularly. Learning manuals on my own was my favorite thing to do but never really got it. I think this will help!

[@SarahParkMatott]

That's awesome! I'm so in love with skating. I fully support a comeback 🛹💪 And, I'd be stoked if this video helped!

[@maarikaaa]

The counting method is very clever. The thought has also crossed my mind - that practicing stationary manuals would make rolling manuals easier but I've never practiced them like that. I find nose manuals much easier for some reason but I can only hold them for a short time (more than actual manuals). After seeing your vid I will definitely do this on rainy days. Balance is a skill too after all. Your channel is very helpful, thanks!!!

[@SarahParkMatott]

Balance is most definitely a skill! And I have heard a few times that kind if like heelflips and kickflips, some skaters naturally feel more comfortable doing nose manuals or regular ones. I am not a natural nose manny type 😂 but yes! this is indeed perfect for rainy days! Glad you’re enjoying the channel 😃

[@justinzero]

Sooo good! I’ve been fighting with myself to practice manuals with the “line” method and I’m not digging it either. I’ll give this a go for sure. Rad vid Sarah.

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thanks Justin!!🙏😃 I hope this is more enjoyable than the line method.

wow this was an awesome video and the pressure points discussion is like a missing piece of the puzzle I haven't heard anyone talk about. Time to get good at nose manuals =D

[@BoZhaoengineering]

Kick pocket is pretty helpful. A consistent concave from top to bottom molds both nose and tail kick pockets where you put feet on .

[@nextlvlroy]

Awesome tutorial! I like how you applied tension because it's something I've always wondered about manuals - do people press the tail down, or lift the front knee up to go into a manual (and vice versa for a nose manual)? Thank you Sarah for the tutorial 😊

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thank you!! 🙏 Getting into manual is almost a shifting more than pushing anything in any way. But, the slight tension was a big piece of the puzzle for me. Just a little to get into the manual more controlled and then keep me steady! Hopefully that helps you too 😃

[@JonathanCook1975]

This is a fantastic tutorial for learning Manuals. I have been adding in some Manual practice every time I skate and get the occasional good one (5-10 seconds). This video has given me renewed hope that I will get the Manual sorted and alot more consistent 👍. Keep these brilliant videos coming 💯🔥🔥

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thanks Jonathan! A little bit every day is the key :) You'll definitely keep getting there! 💪 I could never get an occasional 5-10 second one before working on this challenge, so you're already farther along than I am!

[@eriklarson4082]

You are learning fast. Most are not willing to put in that effort. They are so fun once you have them down. If you consistently practice the way you have you will get really good at them. Then you can start learning to pop into manuals for manual pads.

[@blakerosenberg4098]

I love the consistency across your videos in terms of video sections (i.e. always including foot positioning, physics, foot inputs in their own sections when relevant, etc). Really helps you to cover everything that should be relevant to your topic 🤙

[@xds900]

Sarah, I followed this video and went from 0 sec manuals to whipping out 30 sec manuals regularly, in about 6 months. Still practicing and improving.

[@SarahParkMatott]

ayy! That's awesome! Congratulations on the hard work paying off 🙌

[@TJALOL]

I remember learning nose manuals from a trick tip in a transworld magazine. And one key step in that trick tip was that you should put your front foot on your front bolts when you ollie. That way you don’t have to move your front foot so far when you ollie and it makes it easier to keep your balance when you land on your front wheels. Also it makes you not do a too high of an ollie as you might have done with your front foot lower down on the board. Hopefully this will help someone.

[@jamponyexpress7956]

watching street skaters- sometimes they use the ball of their foot (on the leverage point- tail/nose) and sometimes they press their whole foot down as one massive pressure point- for example a skater who grinds a rail with just the back truck- would not use the ball of their foot- bout would use the pressure of the whole foot- in order to stabilize/ balance better- so it seems to be situation dependent.

Excellent method ! I started today, adding 60s switch manual and 60s switch nose manual. I already can feel that it is indeed not only a question of balance, but also a question of muscles and muscle memory. Can't wait to see if all that improves in the days to come !

[@SarahParkMatott]

If you stick to it, you'll definitely see improvement! It's hard not to. Hope to hear it helps though! 💪

[@DeniseNepraunig]

Thank you so much for your video! I really love seeing your progress and the struggles, because as a beginner you feel like „gosh I don’t get“ it after trying a few times but it actually is a really long progress. All the other videos feel like - lift of your front foot, roll, done XD.

[@quontonnoodles]

Thanks for these videos! I really enjoy watching others learn skating and share their thoughts. I’ve always felt so uncoordinated with my hands and legs, so as you’d imagine, skating has been hard for me. I think Dan corrigan also recommended learning them stationary, so I started sticking my wheels in a crack in the pavement and just started from there, or hold onto a rail or table to really find the right sweet spot. I like that timer idea too ✌🏻

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying them :D Counting definitely helps if you wanna give it a try. Provides a good center to focus on and way to gauge progress too 😃

[@idmhead0160]

Thanks for the tips Sarah, and good work. I particularly thought the nose manuals looked good. I've been working on manuals too. I've mostly been doing them rolling, but, recently, have been trying them at low speed, and I've been trying to get a feel for turning left and right and carving while manualling. I noticed the same thing as you with regard to keeping the board flat, or, angling it a little more toward you heel. It seem like you really need to get that down for turning while manualling, or, even for kick turn spins. I hope to get to the point where I can decently space walk. I need to start working nose manuals. I've pretty much exclusively been working on tail manuals as I'm afraid to twist an ankle or slam doing a nose manual. I think you are smart for trying to learn them at the same time. If you want to see a gnarly nose manual, watch Dan Corrigan's video that has a title "world record manual" or something along those lines. Dan did a high-speed hillbomb manual in that video. And June Saito did a manual that was over two minutes long going down a hill. That guy June is amazing at manuals. I've seen other videos of him ride forwards and backwards down inclines doing manuals.

[@SarahParkMatott]

Oh yeah Dan and June Saito are really good at manuals. Would love to get to that level of consistency and control. I have neglected nose manuals a little bit recently. But I want to go back and doing both again because I want spacewalks too 🙌 Wish you luck. Let's go get those spacewalks 💪

Thanks Eric! Really glad you liked the video. I've actually started doing this again this month and every time I do it it helps me get that much better. Though now, I only do 30 seconds per foot!

Just a tip: i've noticed it can be really hard to manual with a bad set of bearings, so you might want to try upgrading if things are feeling inconsistent.

@@SarahParkMatott Absolutely! You really have a good way of approaching the tricks, that explains a lot of the issues I find that I struggle with.

@@SarahParkMatott yes, but it's more than that. Let me tell you why you are helping: I have a genetic disability, a neurological disease that has made every male in my family that has it need a wheelchair by my age (I'm 53) - so I gave up driving in my 20s to force myself to walk, bike, skate, box, etc to prevent my muscles from deteriorating as much as possible. In boxing, we've a discipline called "adaptive boxing" for disabled / handicapped people, where we learn multiple techniques that we can use by breaking things down into pieces and adapting what we can that fits. You do the same. In skateboarding, I cannot do certain tricks due to my neurological disease and deterioration it has caused in my leg muscles - but I love cruising, downhill, and slalom boarding, so that's what I do. BUT, by breaking down the tricks AND analyzing how it effects me as I try them, I learn more of how I interact to my board and how I can adapt that to better my use within my own specific bodily context.
