If you’ve ever so much as set foot on a skateboard you’ll know exactly how difficult it is to pull off a decent manual for even just a few seconds.

It’s not like it’s a technical trick, or at complex in any way. All you really need is some speed, decent bearings and a relatively good sense of balance. But it’s fiendishly difficult to get right.

“It’s fiendishly difficult to get manuals right.”

Most people would applaud a 5-second manual. Hell I’d be chuffed with three seconds.

These guys, however, have got it dialled – they’re smashing out huge manuals for fun. You won’t believe some of the distances they’re riding!
