How to do Mountainboard Nose Manuals
Recommended Board Set up:
Low tire pressure (15-25 PSI)
Tight Suspension
Loose Front Binding
Nose Manuals On Flat Ground:
What you want to do is to hop into the nose manual, as opposed to gradually applying more weight to your front leg. The idea is to pull the wheels under you.
Get into the position you’ll be keeping during the nose manual, and then jump up a little while trying to position your front truck to where your front foot was before. That makes it so that you body is essentially still, but your lie on your truck instead of just your foot.
Keep your front binding loose and the back one tight. All the adjustment goes through your back foot, so it needs to be responsive. Opening up you front foot helps a lot too, that is give it more angle towards the front truck.
One last thing, the more you reach out in front with your front arm, the easier it is to get into the position and balance it.
Nose Manual on boxes(terrain park):
Jump the box and put you nose down and drag you front wheels so the get a spin and then start to work into putting more weight on your front foot.
The reason you do this is to find what I call the sweet spot. There is a point where your center of blanace (Your hips if your a dude and your chest if you a lady) holds true and all you have to do is keep it there.
Its eays to fall over your front truck but you can go into a push up and save yourself.
