I am trying to learn how to double peg. I am fine up untill right before I land on the Coping. I always get nervous and put my foot down. I also have the same problem smith stalling. I have no problem droping back in without useing my foot. Any pointers?

well everyone saysthis and it gets annoying but practice, i mean i cant even do the trick and im tellin u to practice, i know there not flatland but i used to have trouble with wheelies and gettin that right foot goin again for the third pedal so i only though about my right foot the whole time and said in my head, dont mess up, its not that hard and pretty soon i was doin 6 or 7 pedals and then more and etc etc

Wheelling is simple. Just pedal and lean WAY back untill you get the balance point. You will know when you get it.

FOCUS on NOT taking your feet off the pedals. sometimes it's easy to get into the habit of doing the same thing over and over, in your case, taking your feet off.

I used to take my foot off the pedal, but then one day, I just decided I wasnt going to no matter what.. I fell a few times, but it was no biggie. Just get it in your head that you are NOT going to put your foot down, for any reason. Spend a good afternoon on it, and you'll be pulling them before you go home.

I know, it was really scary for me too. It's more reflex than anything, so its hard to not do it, but keep on working on it, you'll get it, man.
