    i would think that it is best to start slow so that you can get really good balance first probably best to start on carpeting or grass

    You need special wheels with little hamsters in them.

    Nose wheelies are probably easier to learn if you try carving them a little bit left or right.

    Definitely on grass or carpet, to get used to how heavy your board is. Cinch down your trucks, too: things get squirrelly when you have all your weight directly on the front truck.

    Be prepared to do a run-out. Wearing flojos might not be the best idea to start out with, by the way.

    ok so the easy way to learn, do a handstand and then you.....



    ok seriously, hold somthing and do still nosemanuals until you have the muscle memory. then try it slow, but with momentum. i find it easyer if you are carving.
