What skaters said on Reddit
I think it is crucial for you to start this stationary. Try this kick turn tutorial [VIDEO] and this manual tutorial [VIDEO]. Practice stationary ~0.25 second manuals, basically it's just lifting your nose for a short time. I'd say this is a good intro to kick turns, tic tacs, reverts, "real" manuals and generally good for balance. You want to avoid injuries, +1 for wearing pads, but you can still hurt yourself.
