Any tips? I've only tried them out once on my old OAK and it did not go well. I'm going to put them on my Devotid Bi-Level for the weekend and was just wondering if there's a good way to go about learning them or if just trying it over and over is the best way to handle things.
When learning manuals on boxes is it best to slide it like normal and then try and balance up on the front/back, or is it best to just try and get right in to a manny? I imagine nose/tail slides aren't too different from without fins... |

I've never done then since I don't have alot of access to rails ora box but I would say that they we should call them nose/tail presses since essentially that is what we're doing. _________________

dvsfour20, I agree.
although if you're not balancing on the nubs and just flat on the nose/tail I can see where it could be called a press. I'm talking about balancing on top of the bumps only. |

dvsfour20, you mom wears bindings.
GnarShredd, I didn't realize you were talking about balancing on the nubs. Good luck. _________________
