Waa!
Where do you all come from?
A "mono" is a rear "wheel stand" (while pedaling).
That's what I've known it as growing up in Australia.
What do you call it?

For the record it isn't any harder. As long as your pedal motion is smooth it doesn't make a big of difference.

Yeah I have an American friend and half our conversation time seems to invlove explaining what we mean by such-and-such a word.
Eg. Americans say "county", Australians say "shire", the list goes on and on...
For the record: I think of a "wheelie" as a lifting the front wheel just a little bit, and not balancing, and a mono as lifting the front wheel and sustaining it through pedalling.

Yep thats a wheelie, sustaining.
