I recently built a Norco Manifesto to do some streets riding.
Since then I have been working on my manuals. It is a slow progress

looking good man that fall was classic...

I learned in parking lots- try to do one space, then a few more etc etc.. once you get that lock find a nice sloping downwards hill / i use to do the empty college campus parking lots... Nothing in this world better than sitting in a manual for blocks

Thanks, we have all done the loop out fall. Haha. It looks bad but it doesnt even hurt that much.

I will post some progression vids through out! It is a nice change from my high bb echo trials bike. It is crazy how much fun you can have on flat ground or with a curb.

Haha thanks for that. I did not know it was you.
It has successfully been converted to 7 speed now, but I am thinking now to just get rid of the shifter completely and run it single speed.

I think most people now just buy a complete bike from a store, so they don't really know much about how parts work.
And 3 months later, this is where I am
