THere are some good books describing these techniques too such as Ned Overlands' Mountain Bike like a Chmapion, or Chris Lopes' book.
There seems to be diffferent interpretations of what a 'Manual' is: for some it is a coasting wheelie, for others 'rear pogo', for others a standing wheelie, all of which are different techniques. Any way it is not easy! The Trials Techniqe dictionnary says it is a standing wheelie without pedalling.(Bicycle resource glossary does not mention it) Balancing on back wheel is a basic technique for going through ditches (bomb holes) without crashing the front wheel into the bank, or going over a series of humps (Whoop de whoops) for the same reason. Also the basis of Bunny hops, and large step ups.
There is a discussion on the ridemonkey forum, and on MTBR forum, and the Minnisota Off-road forum
