If you are interested in improving your balance for doing wheelies, I have a suggestion that worked well for me. Go get and learn how to ride a unicycle. It is a lot harded than it looks to learn, but I pretty much guarantee it will improve your balance. Has anyone else done this?

i haven't done exactly that.. but as lame as it sounds, i'm a programmer, and i have ADHD.. so i frequently get distracted. anyway, about a month ago, i noticed i was tipping back in my chair a lot.. just a metal computer chair with 4 metal legs that are like 1/2" in diameter, and made from box tubing. anyway, at first i could "balance" for like 2-3 seconds, now i can easily balance for 5-10 minutes while i watch a bike video or something. .and eventually get bored and stop doing that, hehe. maybe i should buy a unicycle.
