Manual is about 5 metres(20-25ft)
And nose, a pathetic 2m or so.
I know my manuals need improving
Oh and BTW how far can the pros manual? Theres this kid and he can one foot manual like 5 metres. Wish i could do that.

I've never measured the length of my manual so I dunno. Weird thing is, I think I practiced nosemanuals so much that my nosemannys are better than my manuals.

I'm not sure how long the longest one is, but in Rubbish Heap Mike Vallely does one for almost 30 seconds I think. I don't think I've seen one longer than that.

Me and my friends used to calculate how long our manuals were by parking spaces. I haven't skated with them forever though so I wouldn't know. All I manual these days are the length of a box.

I used to use the lines in the path ways but they screw me around to much. I just use the skate park then theres no lines to stuff me up.

I can manual a total of about 10 feet. I have never practiced them. I should work on it. If some people can go for 30 sec?!?!?! I need to build up.
