Question: I'm having a little trouble manualing. If I have the time to throw all my weight back and yank on the bars, I can manual fine, but its a very slow (compared to the speed of the bike) process. Usually in the situations that I'd manual off a drop, I'm moving pretty quick with my weight outta the saddle and a little forward. (typing that now, it seems wrong...) But are XC bikes not really made, geometry-wise, to be thrown around in such a manner? Or is it just my hackish ability?
