I’m stoked I was able to achieve my goal today of nose manualing the distance I set out to do but I still don’t understand how to lock in a nose manual! I’m really good at regular manuals and understand those completely so I know if I can find a sweet spot with nose manuals I can lock them in too eventually. Do I need to bring my back wheel higher? Do I need to lean forward more? Is there anyone on here that is talented on their front wheel that can give me some pointers? Thank you!!!

Gotta get comfortable with going over the bars, let’s you find that balance point without worrying about hurting yourself. With front pegs you could try a hang five first(nose manual with one foot on a peg) to get a little more comfortable. I’m not good at them, but just passing on what I was told when trying.
I’m about where you’re at with nose manuals, so take this with a grain of salt. But I’ve been told by friends who are good at them that the key for them was looping out (or whatever you want to call it for noseys). Once you get to know where that point is, you work your way back to your balance point.
Good luck!
Stand up higher man. You have no leverage over the front tire like that go slower and try it too. Don’t be too afraid of falling over the bars and tuck that back tire to your pants
Get comfortable with flippin/jumping over your bars because you will be doing A SHIT TON of OTBz. If you can’t already do them, start working on your hang 5s first so u can get comfortable on your front end.
