^^^^All I know is that your dont use your body to balance, you shift your weight round by staightening and bending your legs

u use your legs to move ur body weight, and make sure your brakes work, if u start leaning to far back just give them a little tap to slow u down just a little and bring the front wheel down.

Im not very good at manuls but i can give yooz a bit of advice........
You have to get your ass off the seat and pull up hard. When your up i find it is easyier to lean too far back then too far forward because you endd up hurting your arms if you keep trying to pull it up, but not pulling it up higfh ebnough.
When your up(the Hard Bit)you have to use you legs and ass to balance you. You shouldnt move you arms or anything above your hips.
It is good to practice manuls down hills and little slopes.

im not that good but i can get aroound 5 or 6 parking spaces sumtimes.
all i do get my weight over the back wheel, make sure my arms are straight and u like push in and out with your leg to get it higher or lower. i found that not looking at the ground helps heaps and u should always keep a finger or two over the brake.
its really hard to explain.
