Hey guys I need some help to wether or not use the brake when trying to learn manual ? It seems like I can’t use it without the front wheel going down immediately but, I also going too far back every time I don’t use it !!!!

Either/or. The only way to get better at manuals is to practice. You’ll suck at them and then one day you’ll figure it out and never look back!
Ive never used brakes and it gets to the point you can do them so long you’ll start slowing down and wish you could speed up ya know 😂
Thanks to you all guys really appreciate the sympathy
Will try again tomorrow, I think I may have understand why it was not happening 🙏
I suck at manuals both with and without brakes. But I’ve probably made a little more progress since going brakeless.
With manuals you wanna learn how to bail first , pull out the bike under you. Will save you years of back pain. Second , I learned manuals by just cruising alone and trying to pull up the front wheel as long as I could. With manuals it’s all about muscle memory. As In brakes or no brakes then to each is own , me personally ain’t a fan of the brakes because if I want to but the front wheel down then I just stop the manual.
But some basic beginner tricks to bulid your hobby on
1. Bunny hop / jumping on a flat surface
2. 180
3. Fakie ( rolling backwards )
4. Manual
And bike control is a must have
With them I didn’t list from most important to least important , in a single session try to learn few tricks together. Helps going down a spiral where you just try one trick and getting unmotivated doing so.
Any questions I’m or anyone in this sub will be happy to help
