Can you control your manuals elsewhere? If not, you might want to work on your manual control.

Have you watched our 50-50 trick tip?

You might want to watch the manual trick tip as well.

 

i can ollie in to a manual but when i get in to the ledge i cannot manual out

 

me to I have the same problem dont forguet to put on wax it’s help or use candle or even make your own from old candle it’s work wheel and a easy short cut you could use put your board on the edge in the grind position go a bit back take a run and jump on it and at the end just lift up your deck as a manual I dont sugest this to a beginner that din’t have a good expĂ©rience of skateboarding ore did not test it before so be carefull im not a professionel skateboarder

Try to get on then ollie off before the end. Or you could start off standing on your board on the ledge and ollie off. Then, you can apply it, by thinking that its a small ollie off the end of the ledge

edit: oops, didn’t check the date on this

 

no it’s okay smile tanks
