STARTING BMX AT 33: The Manual Machine

Here's to being 33 and taking up a new sport! This is the first video in a series where i try to learn to ride BMX, something i've never tried before. I have decent bike control on a mountainbike and road bike, but these skills don't seem to translate as well to BMX. The other way around, it is said that you unlock the holy grail of bike control!
The first skill i wanted to improve was the manual. Of course i looped out and crashed. So i built a manual machine/manual trainer to practice safely.
The BMX i got is a used 2005 GT Bestwick, still in pretty good condition.

Please ignore the lack of safety gear while building the manual machine
