Sorry it took me so long to get back on this. Had a 3 day get away doing some freeride/downhill training.

My buddy has been working on his manuals by using inclines, and he seems to be getting better at them.
I learned personally by flatland, pick up the speed, give it a little pump and lean back and let her roll.

This is correct, geometry makes the huge diffrance while learning. An expert can do it on anything.
You should see the looks I get when I wheelie a my old road bike.
