For safety, drill a large hole through the long sections, then tie some rope/strap to the length you need which is the maximum tilt you want from the bike... this is so you can practice without someone being there... 👍🏻
Adding a rope would help you bail too just extend it to the point where the bike is almost 90 degrees so you can learn how to bail on looping out or just stay at the bike
Yes the rope or safety line should be beyond the point that is capable of the rider to balance it, so certainly on the extreme side... this will still allow the person to learn to jump off, but it prevents a complete flip of the bike... end of, the reason you have this is to learn before hitting the trail, and with any manual you should be covering the back brake, which will cause the front end to come down should you need too... 👍🏻
@@yooojeen Unfortunately she posted a video showcasing hopper manual machine on 29th of march, that shows she hasn't been practicing at all.....so yeah.... that's that
I don't think the machine translates much into the real world. After using my machine a few times back and forth in between doing it for real, I have stopped using the machine as it was messing up my technique. (yes I took my chain off when using the machine).
You guys are so inspiring. I’m 50 and always sucked at Wheelies and Manuals. But because of yall, I’m building one of these this weekend and going to practice harder. Can’t actually give you more than one thumbs up on the video so doing it here 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks.
It's funny how some people watch this at 8:23 and after and they see something sexual. Some people watch this and see people building a skill set. This is exactly why I'm on my way to Home Depot to build my new girlfriend one of these.
Kara, and Tom, thank you. This has inspired me as a 49 yr. old to build a manual machine. Like you I think it will help me greatly on the trail. Next step after this bunny hops.
I know this video is like 2 years old, but it pops up in my recommended videos, and has ever since it came out. I finally got around to watching it, even though I've seen every single other video you and Kara have. lol
I've heard the chain needs to come off to be a true simulation. And a front wheel max height tether to the front of the machine will stop a loop out. Then remove thw tether as you improve. Practice makes perfect 😉
Awesome, going to build one next week. May I suggest a bit of rope attached to the front wheel to the front of the board so then you can't fall off the back of you lean too far.
As someone who got through the learning process, I would highly recommend to learn wheeling before manualling (if you can’t yet). It’ll make it easier since you don’t have to be spot on your balance point (you can paddle). The most difficult part for me was learning to ‘feather’ the brake. Also, I have a bmx which makes it way easier to lift up the front wheel, so if you have a smaller bike to just practice the movement. it’ll help al lot. It’ll take many hours but even the learning proces is fun (except falling but yeah that happens) and there’s always room for improvement. Good luck!
Does not look like it. Not exactly clickbait, but still let down a bit. I have an indoor trainer I used to practice manualling and it seemed to help, but to see a chic manual would give me total faith in this.
Was so happy to see the massive leap in confidence of the woman in this video. Would have liked to see if it translated to the street though. Definitely a skill I struggle with myself so, may have to try this.
Wow guys, that was a great tutorial!! Kara's gonna be sending manuals in no time!! 🤘🏻 Nose mannies with no front brake are sick Cards...can't wait to see you sending some! 😎
@@jaymonme5558 Teaches you balance point, the sensation of how far back you need to be leaning, if your not used to how far back you need to lean it feels unnatural, limit of this is to get that sensation really then you need to start doing it in the real world
This couldn’t have been uploaded at a better time! I’ve been riding my mountain bike more lately and cannot for the life of me manual it. I can manual a BMX bike all day long.
I feel ya, can manual my bmx around and around the park up qauters down quaters and never drop the wheel, but i can not manual my hard tail 29er at all the wheels are so big that you feel so high up when you lean it back its scary, and the high center of gravity makes leaning the bike left and right in manual terrifiying aswell
@@somethingsomething5524 i think that he is talking about when you pedal you would raise the front end of the bike more easily,kinda like a wheelie but without moving out place
But... You use a bike with a drivetrain with a chain, a form of resistance, and it would be a different feel without it. But a "cheat" pedal stroke to bring the front end up would still work in a fixed rear tire though. 😅
Yes and no. It just becomes a standup wheelie if you use the drivetrain to aid in a manual. Then if you pop a fast manual you dont have the crank speed to assist. There is some resistance I agree. Even rolling a bike without a chain feels odd but a few crank jammers could simulate edit: cheating is fine but you could even see that she thought she was holding a good one but just on the brakes nose heavy. Many tradeoffs, I learnt this way with bricks and a wall behind me
@@eekpie exactly. That statement re pedal stroke - if you had a chain - is a point that meant I agreed with you hence the "cheat" before "pedal stroke" and the "though" at the end... 😁 Best way is the Tom Cardy way, a human assistant at the back. 😂
At 9 minutes she has the entry perfectly nailed, straight arms and bum low and easily overshoots the balance point. 🥳 I hope I can get that contraption built too and make my first manual in 2020.
For an even more realistic simulation, avoid holding the brake and remove the chain. Then for safety, attach a rope to the front wheel that is just long enough to allow the bike past the balance point. Nice video, though.
No chain and brakes is the key. I have been practicing with mine for a while chain-less. It feels almost impossible in the beginning, but eventually it starts getting more comfortable.
I tried one out when I was first learning to manual. I felt it really helped me initially to get comfortable of the feeling of hanging my weight off the back of the bike which gave me more confidence in not looping out when trying it on the street. One difference I found though is that in the manual trainer you need to pull back more strongly than on the street which took some getting used to.
I found opposite. For me is very easy to lift front wheel up and even loop out on manualing machine than it is on street. I struggle to pick up front wheel on street.
Yes. That's what I do. However I feel like my motion on manualing machine is more precise and confident. Not so much on street what can be an answer to my problem. Also maybe cause of pure phisics. To throw body weight backwards I need to overcome forward motion - velocity, when on machine it's all static.
@@piotrlobacz One trick I learned was to sit as far back as I could to the point where it feels incredibly unnatural and when I did that I found that the front tire was almost too easy to lift up. I took it to the grass though so if I looped out it wasn't quite as painful of a learning process :) That said my best manual is maybe 20 feet so I'm far from an expert on the subject.
Made one, it is nothing like doing a real manual. It is more like being on a teeter totter. Manuals take a lot of practice because of all the variables like the bike falling off to its sides as you try to balance.
I was really really scared of doing manual didn’t even manual, nothing, it was a dream, then I built a manual machine since I always though how cool manual looks like and started to practice. At the beginning didn’t knew if I was learning but then after a couple of weeks started doing it with the hardtail bike in the street and starting to get use to it that feeling of going in one wheel while balancing and not falling and then tried with the double suspension bike and it was amazing then I kept practicing in the street whenever I had a chance then I realized I was really good at it and where I live there are long street going down. When I noticed it I was the best one doing Manuals for long distances high and low speed and my friends were amazed and me too. Please never give up and try and try and try again everytime. The process took me like 2/3 months . All thanks to this video and me for never giving up.
You guys are so perfect together I wach you guys while I'm eating the breakfast sometimes and your lady cracks me up lol love you riding guys keep up the good work Cara iv got fathe in you girl love you guys
I've done miles and miles of will he's never done a manual think I'll build your machine what a great thought thanks again keep it up have a blessed day be safe keep you and yours safe
You guys rock I am just getting back into MTB with my 3 boys 10, 8&8 this is a Awsome tool for me to teach them!!!! We love your videos I appreciate that you take the time to do these types of video’s!!! You both Rock !!!!
Tip- cut the 2x6 in the back just above where it meets the tire, and round off the corners just in case. And, put the stand backed up to a wall just in front of where your back would be. It’ll suffice if you don’t have anybody to hold you.
I built one 2 years ago. Its been sitting in my garage ever since. Didnt work for me but I think thats because I havent used it much yet. Much like the treadmill that doubles as a clothing hanger. 🙂
I know this is going to sound a bit counterintuitive, but I'm perfectly fine at doing front manuals and totally useless at rear manuals. I think it's much easier to do a front manual because it's just a case of slamming your front brake on and feeling the back end lift and controlling the back wheel on the brake. I find it easier to control the back wheel with my hips than the front with my upper body and arms. This was an awesome video, I'm going to build a manual jig for when I've converted my bike to an e-bike.
Cards, put a strap from the front of manual trainer through the rim. You can then adjust it to the correct length to stop you going full tip off the back, or front in on nossers 👍
Hey Tom how does this machine compare with the feeling of an actual manual? I'd really like to see if the skills from the machine transfer into actual skills off the machine.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing! The other tutorials I saw show how easy it is to build, but don't really impress with how much progress you can make with it.
if u clean up the rotors with isopropyl alcohol then deglaze them with sandpaper, sandpaper where the pads meet the rotor. then clean again with iso. sand and clean the pads too with iso. thenbed the brakes in. squeeking will stop when u brake. works even if there's some oil on the rotors.
Nice to see how Kara progresses her skills. This is why i like mtb so much. You can learn something new everytime you ride and it doesn't matter if you ride urban or in the Woods .🤙🏻
that looks like a ton of fun! guess imma have to whip one of these up. i reckon you could even do a bit of strength training by using a bungee cord over the front wheel to create resistance.
Add a lanyard of sorts to the front tyre, so the bike wont loop out, obviously it needs to be long enough to go slightly over, but it is great for catching actual loopouts
perhaps instead, you could put one of those supporting cross braces across the very front end, and another all the way in the back. just so you won't step on them if you do fall backwards off the bike. my luck I'd end up twisting my ankle and be out for the season. great video! you guys both added a lot to the entertainment value.
Tom and Kara you guys are the cutest couple! Tom I think it's just wonderful how you've included Cara in your mountain biking endeavors!! Best of luck and regards to both of you!! I look forward to more videos featuring both of you in the future! - Cheers!
Go to build me one of these for indoor training over winter. Can see it being great for developing my rear wheel balancing and muscles in my legs and hips to support that. Some good suggestions on here for loop out prevention. I was thinking myself trim off the rear and place it up against a wall. Kara will be a manual monster in no time and I never myself though about the potential for using it for nose manual / stoppie practice. Good stuff.
Tom cardy..Glad I found your channel..thanks to you and your assistant for showing the manual machine build..also it improves the skills of nose riding as well the rear manual. This tool will come in so handy.. thanks. Did your assistant manage to put the manual to dirt so to speak?. Sir ..when you went through on the ebike, it looked as if you.could hold that manual position for miles.. well done sir.. with your help your assistant will have it down in no time.. Have a nice day and look forward to more of your videos, I will have to try the step on the stem and over the bars technique just to make sure I got that one .. Downtown Tahoma California..
Make a behind the back cross on the ground and put bungee cords from the tips to the back wheel. Make them long enough that they only engage when you over tip the bike. This should stop over tipping and also that sideways swing.
Interesting..I can wheelie my motorbike easy, using the clutch to get it up, but I really struggle on my bike. Once I get the balance point it's fine, so I wonder if this would help? Seems easy to make so worth a go
I learned a nose manual by practicing up against my car in the parking lot after a ride. :) Every time I went too far I could just put my hand out to stop from going over.
So jelly after watching that. I've just got myself a bike, after probably 16 years without one, right now I can bunnyhop about a foot off the ground but my mannies look like Kara's demo ones. I could do it so good as a 12 year old kid though
Hy Tom ! I build the same machine but manage to hold on my rear wheel pretty fast (after a few try). I think it's because I always push a little bit against my pedal, so the front wheel don't fall back on the ground. Is it the way or am I suppose to hold without help of the pedals ? If I'm not suppose to push the pedals, then i don't know how to do else, or maybe should I remove the chain of the bike... Thanks for you answer !
The manualmachine didnt really help me learning the manual. But buying a dirtbike with lots of practice every second day did the job! I can finally master it and hold on.
If you tie some rope on the end of the wood at a length thats just over the balance point and tie that to your front wheel you don't have to worry about looping out
For safety, drill a large hole through the long sections, then tie some rope/strap to the length you need which is the maximum tilt you want from the bike... this is so you can practice without someone being there... 👍🏻
The rope should be a bit beyond the balance point, so that you don’t get used to hanging on a rope, once you reach the balance point.
Why do you need this, surely it’s better to learn how to jump off the back?
@@spencermatthews898 totally agree dude coz there ain't gonna be no rope on the trails or the streets
Adding a rope would help you bail too just extend it to the point where the bike is almost 90 degrees so you can learn how to bail on looping out or just stay at the bike

You could use a loose strap on the front wheel that only extends a couple of inches beyond the balance point - that'd prevent falling back
“Do they really work?” What? Are you asking me? I still don’t know.
I love it, I built one it does help, my wife laughs at me when practising on it but It will help feeling more comfortable with the balance point
Ace, you two make a great team and compliment each other so well
Apparently to make it more realistic you have to remove the chain so you can't put force against the pedal/chain line 👍
I've heard the chain needs to come off to be a true simulation. And a front wheel max height tether to the front of the machine will stop a loop out. Then remove thw tether as you improve. Practice makes perfect 😉
FP Tuning and the rear brake,but then you wouldn’t be as stable as you aren’t moving...stupid things really
Awesome, going to build one next week. May I suggest a bit of rope attached to the front wheel to the front of the board so then you can't fall off the back of you lean too far.
Or just secure it in front of a wall so your ass hits it if you go too far.

She is a great camera person. Continues to record and hold the camera steady even when you are being afflicted by that contraption. lmfao
With the chain on you control alot with your front foot. Take it off the front chainring for it to be like when you're riding.

Make sure too use a wheel you don’t care abt while using it I learned the hard way...
Took me six months of practicing at least every other day to learn how to manual. Damn is it fun to do it.
Put a strap through the front wheel and under the frame, adjust it so you can get the wheel too high but not go all the way over backwards.

Looking forward to the next videos... great!
I thought this would be boring but I'm so impressed, wish I could be arsed to make one 1 🤣
Awesome video guys, lm hopeless at manuals, making one tomorrow. You work well together
Awesome video!, I will definitely be making a manual machine now 🤘💯😝😎😂
Go to build me one of these for indoor training over winter. Can see it being great for developing my rear wheel balancing and muscles in my legs and hips to support that.
Some good suggestions on here for loop out prevention. I was thinking myself trim off the rear and place it up against a wall.
Kara will be a manual monster in no time and I never myself though about the potential for using it for nose manual / stoppie practice. Good stuff.
That's sick, I need to build one asap! Well done 🙏
Great. I need to build one of these, but I'll have to do math for a fat tire (26x4.0).
Nice one. You've inspired this old dog to learn a new trick :-)
Tom cardy..Glad I found your channel..thanks to you and your assistant for showing the manual machine build..also it improves the skills of nose riding as well the rear manual. This tool will come in so handy.. thanks. Did your assistant manage to put the manual to dirt so to speak?. Sir ..when you went through on the ebike, it looked as if you.could hold that manual position for miles.. well done sir.. with your help your assistant will have it down in no time.. Have a nice day and look forward to more of your videos, I will have to try the step on the stem and over the bars technique just to make sure I got that one
.. Downtown Tahoma California..
Nice to see one of these in action. Seems like it should help, might have to build one.
She is so good.. she makes it look easy. I have to build one. Cheers from Denmark
Lets talk about that intro for a moment!! Heck yeah 🤘😎 i know how to manual. I just like seeing how people make these coaching vids.
Nice vid. Tom 👍
Make a behind the back cross on the ground and put bungee cords from the tips to the back wheel. Make them long enough that they only engage when you over tip the bike. This should stop over tipping and also that sideways swing.
Wow, I am going to build one! Thank you for the list!!! subscribed!!!
Interesting..I can wheelie my motorbike easy, using the clutch to get it up, but I really struggle on my bike. Once I get the balance point it's fine, so I wonder if this would help? Seems easy to make so worth a go
Kara is great, she's got so much get up and go.
Wow tom you're close to 50k that sounds great how the new season starts 😂😍
Wuuuuuupeeeeeetz
Was machst'n du hier 😂

Cool video, I want to make one now. Thanks for sharing
Great. Thanx a lot this will be my target for the nex 4 month
Dude if you want to be on a low budget just dig a hole on the ground
or imagine just trying the real thing, its even easier and it actually works!
Genius.
ahahahhaha that soooo funny !!! true
I learned a nose manual by practicing up against my car in the parking lot after a ride. :) Every time I went too far I could just put my hand out to stop from going over.
So jelly after watching that.
I've just got myself a bike, after probably 16 years without one, right now I can bunnyhop about a foot off the ground but my mannies look like Kara's demo ones. I could do it so good as a 12 year old kid though
I've been thinking about making one of these, so now in lockdown perfect time except no delivery. Oh well something to do after lockdown.
Hy Tom ! I build the same machine but manage to hold on my rear wheel pretty fast (after a few try). I think it's because I always push a little bit against my pedal, so the front wheel don't fall back on the ground. Is it the way or am I suppose to hold without help of the pedals ? If I'm not suppose to push the pedals, then i don't know how to do else, or maybe should I remove the chain of the bike...
Thanks for you answer !
The manualmachine didnt really help me learning the manual. But buying a dirtbike with lots of practice every second day did the job! I can finally master it and hold on.
As in a motorcycle?
@@youtubeaccount9058 as in a dirt jump bicycle
If you tie some rope on the end of the wood at a length thats just over the balance point and tie that to your front wheel you don't have to worry about looping out
That was awesome, I'm well shit at manuals, just watching this helped. Nice one
