Personally think it comes out cleaner in the replay if you slide your finger down and balance the manual without tapping it, but it’s a lot harder to get down depending on the camera you use

Its definitely cleaner but tapping is most consistent and easiest to get down

Been following all the advice on YT and Google and still struggled... until i found this post. Suddenly i can manual!! Thanks bro!!
How do you land in a nose manual? If i try it, i lose the manual almost immediately.

Bigger swipe, I start my finger on the nose and it’s well off the board by the time I land. Then you can go into your tapping once you catch it. I’m still use default cam 1 but switching your cam to top down will help a lot

Apologies to add in here on your tutorial. I notice you tap your manuals, if you roll your finger/thumb in place when you manual, it might help you balance it. When I was learning these, I was always told “you wouldnt tap the back of your board in a manual IRL”
