All Materials and Measurements Are Now listed In Both Metric & American Standard In The Description! Hope you enjoyed the video! Let us know if you have any questions at all :)
-
Built this. Within a few seconds of using it realized I've not been letting my shoulders go back nearly enough. Very cool tool
-
Built my manual trainer this past week. Thank you so much for the explanation, materials, and cut list. I will say that I have a lot of work to do to get comfortable in the manual position. Thanks!
-
I like how you explain things in the most simple and direct way. I guess I can say your methods are just for this era. Thanks for the vids. Can't wait to see April do the manual 😁❤👏
-
Nice job. I”ll be doing this before spring. Kyle, I sure hope you are doing okay and feeling better. Please do not rush your recovery, hang in there and know that your people are keeping you in their prayers and wishing you well.
-
Last thing I need is another project, but I’m absolutely building one of these. Thanks for the plans, you and April rock!
-
Kyle we have just spent a couple of hours making this Manual Machine, the instructions were clear and I think we are going to have some amazing fun using it. Thank you
-
Great vid! I recently built one of these and didn't feel like it was helping me at all... until I went out on the trails. It really does build that muscle memory. It's also an amazing bike washing stand. You just have to rotate the wheels to get them all clean. Great content, keep it up!
-
Thanks Kyle and April! This is another one of your videos I've shared with our MTB youth club trainers. Good job!
-
You nailed it to the wall with this video. I was on the fence about building one but given my lame attempts at getting to the balance point I know this will help. I also ride a unicycle and I remember learning by spending time in the balance pocket was key. Thanks for clearly listing the items needed for this. Finally , the compact nature of this design is what is pushing me over the edge to build one- can’t wait.
-
Your videos are so well done and helpful. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I built the manual trainer in under an hour and glued all the joints. I m very happy...
-
Hey there. Just wanted to say THANKYOU for this inspiration. Just built this manual trainer yesterday to keep progressing in winter time. Keep those videos coming. Merry Christmas all the way from Germany ;-)
-
I built this today Kyle! Your instructions and the cut list was really helpful and spot on. And the tip you gave to attach few pieces cut out from an old tire really kept it from moving around.
-
I built one yesterday with your measurements. I've just done some wheelies today. It's amazing. Thanks.
-
Great job on the manual trainer. You even got the seal of approval from April when she smiled. I’m going to build one based on your instructions as well. Thanks again👍
-
Thank you Kile & April, i've built my manual trainer with your recommandation. It works perfectly. Good vibes to you from south of France !
-
This is the best video for Manual trainers. It turned out amazing. Thanks for sharing.
-
Just built this with my son (a little 9 year old downhill shredder) this morning - what a difference it has already made! We have been trying to learn to manual for the last few weeks with no success. I can now see where we were going wrong. Very very impressed thanks guys!
-
i just buit it! Excellent explanation! Both of you deserve all my respect and appreciation. Keep up the good work. And Kyle i wish you all my best regarding to your health issues!! Take care!
-
I love your videos guys. You're pro but you explain so simply. you guys rock - thanks for making the vides and sharing them.
