Learning to manual is a skill we've been asked to teach over and over again - and for good reason.
It's the backbone of a skilled riders repertoire. It's the foundation which allows you to hit jumps, pump the terrain and control your bike so you can maximise the fun you have when mountain biking, riding to work or jibbing in the car park with your mates!
There is loads of advice out there from YouTube videos on how to manual, but most of it is either wrong, confusing or incomplete, it will leave you feeling like learning to manual is something that you'll never be able to accomplish... But we know you can do it because we've already taught hundreds of people to do it.
Imagine if...
-
You had step by step guidance proven through over a decade of full time coaching.
- Actual movements to practice that progressively build on each other and lead to a continued sense of progress.
-
Personal feedback from a professional coach to highlight where you are going wrong and point you in the right direction.
-
Practice made easy with progressive on and off bike drills and ways to consolidate movements patterns when you can't get out of the house.

The Pedal Progression online course "Learn how to manual" includes practice drills, simple structured lessons and coaching feedback, making it possible for anybody to manual.
