What this video teaches
Skate IQ covers nose manual body mechanics concisely, focusing on the one most common killer: straightening the back leg while in the trick. The video also introduces prep for flip-outs by building the squat habit into the manual stance.
Key tips
- Keep both knees bent at all times, straightening the back leg pushes the hip out and immediately kills the manual
- Hips must stay directly over your feet, once the hip drifts out the balance point is lost
- To set up flip-outs, get into manual foot position first and practice deep squats before attempting the flip trick
- Build squat strength in the manual so you have enough pop to execute flip tricks out of it cleanly
