I was wondering what is the best way to practice balancing on your rear wheel? What is the easiest way of getting on your rear wheel? How do you do it at a standstill? Is it easier to practice on pavement or on dirt?

I find it easier on a slight incline on grass or dirt (falling backwards is a problem). When you get used to it move onto something more appropriate to street.

That's one I still haven't figured out (the hopping on the rear tire routine..)
All the helpers out there let us know!
I can wheelie all day long, I can Manual all day long, but I CANT hop on my rear wheel for the love of god. lol.
