easy way to find balance for hang fives?

Proper spelling makes perfect.

No just commit and don't be afraid to lean over the bars. You're probably going to fall a lot at first but you have to practice them a lot. Or just skip the whole process and do nose manuals.
 
i was fuckking around with a moving dolly the other day, and i started doing hang 5s on it, and they're actually really easy cuz the wheels are so big, so if you have access to one of those, it kinda helps you find the balance point.

if not its all practice. they took me months to learn, so dont get discouraged

don't be afraid to go over the bars. lock your elbows.
Biggest thing. I learned them in like an hour one day cause I decided to commit.

i couldnt get them for a lnog time then my mate said try yhem with straight legs and amrs... so i did and got a really long one
 
just learnt them recently.
all i can say is the wat i found is that i used to kick up the back end to get into the hang five which always sent me over the bars.i found if u just push all ure wait forward in a sort of slow motion it puts u in the right spot for em.

Not going to lie, hopping onto something with them is a lot better, you just find the spot. Lock you're arms like Jordan said, relax your foot and let it hang. Taller bars give more leverage, and wider gives more control to a point. Just praCtice them a lot and eventually you'll get them. No clue how it helped me but I found doing wheelies in a wheelchairs to help a lot. =
 
well, i ride stock bars, 18 high stock wide. but with the best trick of mine bein mannys (cuz of wrist/ankle issues can't flick either on left side, and can't single whip), i dont need to uprade, but maybe to 15s......
