I was petrified the first time I tried it, but honestly, go slow at first. You can just "putt" along and then try leaning without locking up your legs at first. Once you realize that you are not to flip the bike over and you get your confidence up then try locking up at a slow speed...then just keep practicing, and increasing your speed!
Good Luck!
