Manual - balancing on your rear tire (standing and off the saddle), with the front wheel up, usually with no pedal motion. Old-school fogeys call it a "wheelie" but that's with pedaling on the saddle.

Looooong manual this.

Manual Off - lift the front wheel just before an obstacle, or drop, or ledge, or ravine, or cliff, or ten storey building.



Endo/Stoppie - is like a manual in reverse sometimes called a nose-manual, balancing on the front wheel while braking with the rear wheel up in the air. Those that have mastered this can actually "de-weight" and lift the rear wheel without braking.
