Every week we set a new challenge to help you build real skills on the board. This week it's the manual hold — one of the best exercises for building balance and board control from scratch. No skatepark needed. Just your board and a patch of carpet or grass. Honestly? This is something I still need to work on too. So I'll be joining the challenge right alongside you this week. Check out the full challenge details. Everyone welcome — complete beginners included. Drop your time in the comments, share what you struggled with, and let's see how everyone improves through the week.
