That's just insane!  The balance point on that is so tough.


Now find a bigger parking lot!  :beer:

absolutely excellent ondo! That balance point is so hard to find for me.

Thanks! Yes, they take some practice, but they're pure fun, when I don't want to ride anymore, I just do nose manuals..

Well, few tips could be to relax, especially your legs, lean A LOT FORWARD, keep the arms/legs locked, so you don't move close to the bars and look at the bars/tire not forward.

I hope this helps, have fun!

Lol, when he's not "riding" he does 200ft nose manuals ;)


I sure wish I "didn't ride" like that!


Looking at the bars/tire seems counter intuitive, but damned if I'm going to argue with those results.

it's the kind of trick that you either can do or can't do....and i can't do it, even after over a year of struggling. my absolute maximum length has been about  10 meters until now,


this one is SOooo hard....and at the same time when you get it, it seems so easy for the lucky riders who found their balance point.

i'll keep on struggling...

as I said 10 meters is really good! it doesn't matter how much time has passed since you started to learn those, but more that you have to do them everyday.. I do them everyday, even if I'm not riding for multiple days but I'm riding to work and doing them everywhere. that's what counts.

it's not the struggle, it's the fun!

good luck man!

thanks Ondo, when i actually feel the balance it's a great feeling, but it can get so frustrating sometimes, it just does not happen, and then it just happens, then i loose it again...

you're right, i just need to keep on doing them until it gets easier and easier...

thanks for the encouragement anyways ;)

new phil dolan :)
f*cking insane. like ondo sad, just do nose wheelies whenever you can and the distance will come with time. i can hold it for almost 2 years now but ive never roll it more than 20 meters or maybe some more. it just takes time. ive also noticed it helps alot with balance point if u play with all sorts of variations
good luck to everyone :beer:
what is the frame u r riding ondo? looks so clean

thanks man, you're totally right, nose manual is my favorite trick now for sure

The frame is Proper Mike Miller 20''. The best frame I have ridden so far. 20'' feels perfect, it's good on strength and still enough small for flat. for nose manuals it's the best setup ever I'm riding now, well execpt you can put wider tire not primo comets 1.5 haha
i will post a bike check now.

cheers!

finally i was able to make the video,after having installed the new frame, i went today in the only spot that i know to do long tricks.
i tried to do  that in during the week in a road near were i ride but it sucked so much that i wasn't able to roll the nose because it was full of bumps. that caused me a crazy rage and i throwed my bike so hard that i bent the frame, the tt angle went near to 90°  , before that day i had treated that frame really well but without throwing my bike for two full month then i released it all in one time.

it looks as if having the bars slightly forward helps a bit with nose wheelies ? mine are parrarel to the fork, and i have a minimal stem offset. i'll try to have my bars moved forward a bit and see if it helps ! what do you think ?

just tried with the bars forward (almost 90 degre angle with the ground), and nose wheelies are easier !!

wow nice michele, it's a pretty bad weather here and I can't ride much..


jpoliti, yes, put them slightly forward, it will help in all the front wheel tricks for sure


I ride my bars a bit more than 90 degrees to the ground
