yeah, i''ve been told slow stunts are ALOT harder to control - but remember if you master your throttle and brake control like that, it makes road wheelies seem like kid''s games.
Just get ready to drop the bike when doing slower stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CogrNl6LeSQ (i suggest investing into a stunt bike)

slow shit makes killin streets smooth as hell. anyone can rock wheelies on the street its easy after a little practice. i never wrecked learning to wheelie in streets but put me in a lot for 2 days and i wreck. thats where the talent and dedication is.

if you can ride a wheelie and want to learn idle it shouldnt take you more than a week or 2 to get it. get in a lot and turn the idle to 3k and clutch it up at almost a stop. and ride!

iv''e always wondered how they did idles (when they do like no hander circles and everything)... i was thinking they had a throttle lock grip but totally forgot about the idle control on the bike. Gonna have to play around with it now 
and the vids are pretty sick pixel - short but pretty sweet anyways

A week or 2 my ass. lol.
Maybe it''s because I''m nursing a healing leg... but I think from where I''m at, to having it on point is still about 2 months away. A month at the earliest. August 2nd would be nice... that''s the anniversery of me shattering my leg practicing. =)
I think if my leg was 100% I''d just balls it up and do it... but REALLY don''t want to crash right now.
So for now I just do what I can, and try to get slower and slower... I''m close tho.

Landed on my feet!
Was on both rear pegs using a hand brake. For a reason I still don''t understand, the hb completely failed and the lever came into the grip. Shut it down, but was already past bp, and didn''t get the engine braking I needed to bring me back.
Looped it out.
Landed on my feet, and then fell forward catching myself on my knees / arms. Slid like 2 feet. Tried to get up, but soon realized my leg wasn''t working right.
Shattered my tibia into about 20 pieces, sheared the top of the bone in half, snapped the bone in half further down, and split it down the middle. Cracked my pelvis, and seperated my shoulder. Was going probably 20-25mph.
Crunches with every step, and still hurts like a bitch. But you only get 1 trip thru life, so even tho most people don''t get it... I just have to stunt. Have to.

yeah that sh*t sucks, but that''s risk to reward... were you wearing boots or just tennis shoes?
damn, only 25mph and soo much damage - just landed on the leg wrong i guess.
