Ive been practising them for like 3 days, not much i did a hang 5 for about 2 meters. You just have to practise and remember not to put your foot down when your doing them

Tried again today and failed as usual. It's either too far or not enough. On occasion I hop right into the balance point and go for a foot or two but can't balance it.

find your 'sweet spot'
i had them pretty good. but then couldnt ride for like 7 months, but this past weekend i got them back and waayyyy better than i had them before
its all about practice and finding the balance point that works best for you
 
ok man dont do it on carpet just do it on smooth ground and get your foot on the foldy and keep your leg thats on your scooter as strait as you can and the rest of your body stiff the only thing you whant to move is your foot your using to balance your self with and when i first started doing them it helped me to go slow and look down. well ya go do it man !

wtf? i see some problems there
1. DONT use foot on foldy, just retarded
2.you dont keep your leg straight, it will eject you over the bars
3. use some speed
but its very close though, keep you body tense and wrist bent down a little to maximize the forward pushing motion and use the leg off deck like your supposed to(counterbalance)

I put my whole foot on the deck, go a medium speed, arms tense, knees slightly bent. Just need to get a hang of staying in the balance point still.

Less than an hour. Just keep your off-foot ready for when you flip over and commit to it. The real trick to front wheel stuff is not being a bitch. Once you find your spot its easy breezy covergirl.

Took me half a day to find the balance point but keeping it in that point takes weeks and weeks. Longest i've done so far is about 5m.

Question: Do most people hang 5 With their front foot still on the deck or back foot on the deck?
