The nose manual. The manual's more difficult but very similar younger brother. As I'm sure you know or can imagine, the nose manual is the opposite way round to
the manual, and involves tipping the nose forward and bringing your tail off the ground. Now if you have been out skating, doing manuals etc. and have come here
because you have been trying the nose manual unsuccesfully, then I'm afraid I'm going to let you down. Just because you can manual but not nose, does not mean that
there is some sort of special trick to it that you hadn't considered. This trick only takes three things, patience, balance and practice.
Incidentally you want your back foot pointing away from you and back at an angle, just past the trucks on the inside. Let your front foot mold into the upwards shape of your
nose and push down smoothly. Some people bend their legs, others do not. Remember, patience, balance and practice, and don't get really angry and throw your board around
like a pro either.
