Yeah, I was gonna mention the article in Bicycling mag too, It's one of the best things i've seen them print in awhile.

I'd also mention that it helps to use weight transfer to do your wheelies. First put your weight on the handlebars and then bring your body back as you torque on the cranks. You can feather the rear brake to keep from going over backwards. A little pressure on the brake will bring the front wheel back down. I wish I didn't have to learn that the hard way.
