Except my statement is true backed by science. To say you can't learn as an adult is pretty ridiculous.
Its easier to learn as a child yes and I stated that adults lean some things slower, some things that require patience and time adults tend to learn better because they put the time in and think logically about them.
I also pointed out the goal is to manual not to be a wc rider or manual 100meters. Many people don't even take up golf as a child. The OP isnt trying to be a world champ manualer.
Been older there is probably a lower limit to how far or well he can manual but its achievable none the less.
I think the concept that you "definately can't" would be pretty rare and mosty will come down to lack of practice or lack of correct practice. There is clearly a point where someone is so old they physically can't do something or but manualing has no physically limitations it comes down to balance and cog. All of which can be trained. If someone is physically able to do something but just can't I doubt they would have been able to do much even if they started young. The older one gets the longer It takes to learn but the brain remains plastic.
Keep in mind most people who are riding off road have all the tools they need and ability to do so it just takes practice and patience. Taking up golf is like taking up riding very different a better comparison would be a golfer just learning a new swing which is all this is.
OP you can mono this is a good start it means you know your balance point. Its just a matter of finding it and using your hip and legs to move back and forward to keep the weight centered.
