I find slightly above horizontal with the front foot off to be the easiest. So if at horizontal the back pedal is at 3 o’clock than my best balance is with that pedal at about 2:30 or 2:45.

The idea is that there is always a little pressure on that leg. With the waist slightly bent, the frame and upper body are both cantilevered out to the front, and the wheel wants to roll forward even when you are perfectly balanced. So the back leg adjusts pressure on the pedal being forced up, to keep the wheel relatively stable while the upper body is moving to maintain balance and consequently changing the level of force on the wheel.

Excellent challenge fellow gunslinger…Me thinks I can rise to the challenge…Should we establish an “age” class just like in professional motorcycle racing? If agreed…I’m IN !! Suggest 10 year increments.

wow Josh, I’m really impressed. I’ve never really timed my still stands but I don’t imagine they last very long…

Maybe next time I go out it’ll tyre me out less than the big rocks by the sea…
