haha..
that one cracked me up, nice.

As to the balancing on rear wheel type of manual, apparently they are much easier if you have short chain stays. Some bikes have ones that are like 15 inches.. those are easier than one that's 17 inches or whatever.
I don't use brakes when I do them, but I can't do them well, so there might be a connection there.
