I was going to say that the best way to learn is to be around people who know what they're doing, so it seems like you got that covered. watch them and learn from them.
and 2... think i found what may be causing your front end "tat-tat-tat" issue. slamming the front end down like that is GOING to cause issues. i know its part of the learning process, i did it to, but you have to learn throttle control, not only is it important for maintaining BP in a wheelie, but its important for setting it down nice and easy. instead of just cutting off the throttle, roll off slowly, not only will it be better for the bike, but you will get the feeling of how the bike can be affected with only a little bit of gas.

Hey Flyou, Its not your tires its your clutch. I had Pilot powers and did wheelies all day long. The clutch plates wear down whenever you rip on the throttle. Trust me I am on my 3rd clutch now, from experience my friend.
Adidas, you can slip your clutch from 3-6K rpms.
