Manual Madness

Let me start this post off by saying that manual tricks are not easy! They sometimes take hours, days, weeks or longer to attempt, and even then there is no guarantee that you will get the trick you have worked so hard for. It all comes down to that one attempt where every single little factor in the equation goes absolutely perfectly. From the board throw down, to pushing up to the obstacle, the flip, catch, land(on 2 wheels), the balancing act, ride away, and not to mention your mindset. Cory and Geoff worked for over 3 hours at trying to get their manual tricks and in the end only one of them came out with a new piece of footage for the vault.  We will be back to get the other trick in no time I'm sure.
