Sounds VERY hard to do. Much harder than a back wheel manual. Which I'm still working on. I have a feeling that things are harder on a cruiser sometimes.

i can bunnyhop-nose manual 10- 15 feet at best. that's pretty far. i can manual +200ft and usually throw a barspin or 180 at the end. last week i learned curved manual to 360 tailtap. can't do it straight yet

On flat ground you'd better be DAMN solid with your hang-5s first. No brakes, just toss your body weight over the bars. Most people I've seen doing flatland nose manuals will do them out of other tricks instead of rolling straight into them. Not easy tricks.

ok we all know you use your butt for balance in a back wheel manual but what do you use to balance a nose manual?

I've only ever really seen them done out of a G-turn, and the range of movement you can use for balance is VERY limited. So you better be solid on your front wheel or you're going to eat pavement face first.
