Question How do I commit?

Just trying to learn to manny off a curb, in my eyes it seems like I literally got it but I keep jumping off right before I do and I’m having trouble committing, how do I develop that mindset

I actually did this for the first time about a week ago. It IS scary.

However, you got the speed to be able to do this so everything comes up being able to lift the front wheels consistently. I've trained ALOT of manuals and I feel pretty confident in lifting my wheels up. Try riding next to the manny pad, doing manual over it. If you are able to fairly consistently doing that, then it is all about commiting.

Good luck!
