At my mtn biking clinic they showed us how to do donkey kicks- but only those riding clipless could do it, because you kick your heels up,while clipped in, and that helps to kick the rear tire over an obstacle...
so you'd do a manual on the front, and donkey kick over the back...
they told those of us using platforms we couldn't do it.
Kimba, they done told you wrong.

We learned to do them at the camp in BC a couple of years ago, and I actually did a couple (I have cages).

My bike courier friends could & I suspect still can do them on plain platforms, no cages.

I wonder why they told you you couldn't do it? That's lame.
