My Longest Nose Manual (!) BMX

I'm still all excited about pulling my longest nose manual ever this morning.
Yes, this is my personal PR!
The first thing I noticed when visiting this amazing street skatepark in Montpellier was this long nose manual pad, and I thought to myself how awesome it'd be to nose manual it.
And lately, I've been feeling pretty comfortable with the nose manual so decided it's time to give it a try.
This is now the third installment of my "1 hour nose manual drill" video series. (And I'm sure there'll be many more to come.)
I went to the skatepark at 7 a.m., hoping I'd be the only one there. This way, I could focus 100% on the nose manual and not bother other shredders with my camera.
When I got there, the sign actually said that the park opened at 8 a.m., but the doors were open, so I knew that it was my lucky day.
AND!
No one was at the park, so everything was ALL for me. Okay, I only needed the manual pad.
And the battle began.
I got pretty close pretty early, which came by surprise.
But overall, I think it took me around 25 minutes of drilling to actually pull the nose manual.
So. Stoked.
But since I still had time to complete the 1 hour drill, I continued and secretly hoped to pull it one more time.
That second time never came, but it was still a big success.
During the nose drilling session, I came up with two conclusions that will further improve my nose manuals:
1. I need to force myself and push forward more, so it'll get me over the bars more often.
2. I need to get used to the "floaty" feeling when you're in a nose manual. It's actually pretty weird - on one hand, everything feels super effortless (I literally feel I'm floating), but on the other, super intense (because of maintaining the balance).
If you don't know it yet, yes, nose manual is one of my favorite tricks.
Thank you so much for your support - you're all a bunch of legends!
Cheers for watching.

[@karolccc]

have you ever experienced pain in front of the shoulders when lifting the back wheel? i dont know if im using my arms too much or whats the deal. happened to me 2 days after starting to learn bunny hop. really annoying because i eventually pulled off my first bunny hop, but cant continue to practice it because of this pain. ive been doing calisthenics for 3 years, and now added some stretching for shoulders, but was just wondering if it's normal thing for people who just start out with bmx, or maybe injuries in general are part of this sport?

[@rokkrivec]

yo karol, i don't remember having any shoulder pain when i first started riding bmx. i only sometimes experience it but only if it's a 2h+, non-stop session with little to no breaks in between. i know some have issues with shoulders, but i don't really know from where it comes if it's not due to a crash. but i wouldn't say it's a normal thing. shoulder stretching definitely helps but at the same time strength exercises, which you're doing a good job with calisthenics. did you had any issues with shoulders during calisthenics? you can also put some ice on it. congrats on your first bunnyhop bro!!

[@karolccc]

@@rokkrivec i did not have any shoulder issues during calisthenics. funny enough, i can do dips no problem, which are known for being hard on shoulders for some people. so its really interesting case. i appreciate your insight tho. luckily, it doesnt hurt when trying other things like manual, so im just gonna shift my focus onto that and pray it gets better with time. also, congrats on your new nose manual PR!

[@rokkrivec]

@@karolccc you're welcome bro. yeah, try avoiding tricks that make your shoulders hurt so you recovery as quickly as possible because i know how annoying it can be, especially when you just wanna ride and have fun but you can't. and if you ride every day, take some time off, rest, ice and stretch 😊 thanks for the kind words, i really appreciate it! 🤘 keep it up karol!
