Today we’ve brought in Fluidride Coach @Jason_Gainey to help with manuals!
Manuals on a mountain bike serve a wide variety of purposes, including manualing into terrain (such as a root), manualing out of terrain (such as a roller), or just looking super pro down a road.
However, getting into a manual can be pretty tricky! Try these tips to get your bike up to the balance point:
Tip #1: Move forward into the cockpit of your bike, then shift your hips directly backward. Focus on front/back movement rather than up/down.
Tip #2: Drop your heels as you shift rearward
Tip #3: Fully extend your arms (no bend)
Tip #4: Keep your head up and vision forward
Get easy access to Simon's most famous teaching points as you follow Fluidride’s @linnearooke through her learning progression, and gain insights for your own riding.

ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE
Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but until this year she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon's teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.
