Practice covering your rear brake before anything. After I had my confidence up and was do wheelies fairly easy on my 900 I started practing parking lot stuff and looped my bike. It was a bad experience and gaining my confidence has been a challenge even after a year plus I messed up my bike pretty bad. I can cover my rear brake better. What a friend told me was to roll slow and stop on my rear brake then pop it up and bring it back down. After tons of practice I have managed to cover my rear brake alot better and can practically bring my bike up from a dead stop at about 3000 rpm. Take your time and don't hurt yourself. Practice is always what makes it easier. Johnny
