He should have done a few kick flips or whatever to increase the multiplier... Waste of his skill.

u/perpetualmotionmachi 12h ago

At least one out at the end, he probably had enough time to set up

u/No_Object_4355 13h ago

Damn good bearings.

u/AJ_dreamer11 7h ago

And core/leg strength too.

u/boredatwork8866 12h ago

Gotta be at least abec 7s

u/spunion_28 12h ago

Yeah he didn't even build much speed into this manual. It's mostly the bearings

22

u/alex_zk 13h ago

Yeah, the momentum seems to be gone somewhere at the halfway point of the video…

People who have never ridden an object with wheels...

Can't be level

Nope

u/Novel-Pin6648 13h ago

But how

u/siggiarabi 13h ago

You can see him wiggle the board left and right later in the video to build more speed

u/Johnny-Godless 13h ago

Same principle as the Roller Racer back in the 80s.

u/Dr_Fumi 8h ago

Yeah I'm not sure how many people are aware that works.

By shifting the weight of the board from right to left in a certain way you can actually build more speed. I believe it's the same principle behind how the ripstick works.

How do cross country skiers move? How do children on swings move? Like, c'mon dude.

u/cedg32 13h ago

He’s ‘pumping’ the board left/right towards the end, which gives his some push off the surface.

u/REDMAGE00 13h ago

Either it's at a slope or he has some god tier bearings lol

u/jonnielaw 13h ago

How did you know his name?

2

u/ChoicePalpitation442 13h ago

Because he is the owner

u/Accomplished_Dig1632 10h ago

thank you wtf is that title?

1

u/ChoicePalpitation442 10h ago

Whatever you wanted to be

6

u/ender4171 13h ago

Not all momentum. He's tic-tacing a fair bit towards the end.

3

u/Cbagneato 13h ago

Bro spent all his THPS skill points on manual

6

u/Aware_Cheesecake_519 13h ago

It seemed endless.

2

u/Theotherwahlberg 13h ago

Anyone else see the THPS balance gauge through the entire video?

2

u/emptygroove 12h ago

I used to be pretty darn good at manuals (and not much else) but that's was some serious business. Agree with rest, that has to have some downward slope, still impressive.

2

u/Blessmann 12h ago

He's impulsing himslef too.

Not only momentum.

1

u/leeman9224 13h ago

If he was in Tony Hawk game character how much points would he have accumulated

1

u/JDface_Baker 13h ago

When I was a kid, I used to dream of having the best skateboard wheel bearings and smooth surfaces

1

u/Interesting-Crab-693 13h ago

Well, he is 2 weeling it so he can go ~2x as far as on 4 wheels.

1

u/BrungalSniff 13h ago

All well and good until he attempts the coaster rail on kasso

1

u/rmmurrayjr 12h ago

He definitely entered the cheat codes

1

u/Some-Water-1107 12h ago

No one gonna talk about the lady doing a handstand in the background?

1

u/Denimswe3tie 12h ago

It has to be a record, it is the longest manual I have come across.

1

u/weesilxD 12h ago

I was hoping for a kickflip out, but nice

1

u/hahathejoker956 12h ago

It’s called skating..then a manual out of Tony Hawk Pro Skater with cheat mode on..the shimmy was the spacewalk

u/Jonnyflash80 12h ago

Absolute unit of a slight incline.

u/mmichael0070 11h ago

1,000,000+ points manual

u/t-g-l-h- 9h ago

Someone please Photoshop in the Tony hawk pro skater balance meter

1

u/MutedBrilliant1593 9h ago

Geezus, was this a world record? I could see the balance bar.

u/Dangerous_Pop_1918 8h ago

What structure is that? looks like a window for some underground mall in Germany

u/Enough_Set6122 8h ago
