There's a lot of things people do when riding that they have NO idea how they do it or how it works. When they attempt to break it down they come up with what seems like a decent explanation, but usually is wrong. Gene you have the gift for explanation, one of the reasons you're such a great teacher. This weekend I did a 6 hour race and told myself repeatedly - be smooth over the fast line, not fast over the smooth line. Passed a lot of people. Cheers!

Most people, even experts tell you to pull up/back to do a manual. I have only seen one explanation that said to push the bike away was a better way of thinking of the motion, wow what a difference. I almost looped out because it was so much easier. But don't believe me go out and do it ;) Yeah, I agree. Most people, even experts tell you to pull up/back to do a manual.
