    Good balance and good rear brake control, and steady pedeling.

    Good balance, well that's me screwed, as soon as I lean back a little gravity pulls my fat **** off the seat, testicles + moving wheel =

    You need to work out where the balance point is, then use your body weight to slightly tip over the balance point, then before you flip you 'dab' the rear brake to bring you back to the balance point, its a tricky one to master but not overly hard.

    Once youve figured out where your balance point is and dialled in your rear brake control its easy, after that you have coasters, one or no footers, and alsorts of variations
