Can you manual?Can you manual 200m?If the answer is yes to both these question you can be an official world record holder.....just try not to be quite as over earnest and po-faced as this guy.

And yes, I can....but i can't be more that 10m away from a toilet at the moment.I'll do it next week.

I've just spent a fruitless 10 minutes trying to find his manual on one of the Ride To Glory Edits!!!
I'm pretty sure Chad Kerley could do it.....with a couple of barspins and whips thrown in though!
I actually thought it was a pee take at first.....but specialized don't have a sense of humour.

That really was like watching paint dry.

I don't understand, why would someone doing a manual generate hate and vitriol???

It's a bit like this forum I guess - VERY minor things getting blown out of proportion and when you consider the average age on here compared to bmx'ers, it's not surprising.

Maybe they are upset because the money 'wasted' on this could have been used to film something interesting.

Certainly achieved the aim of publicity for Specialized!

on flat level ground

Seen people come down mountain passes pulling manuals all the way, but on the flat I guess its all about how fast you start and your slow speed control.

Very boring video though.

Surely this would be a breeze for a unicyclist?
