i can now do pretty good sitdowns, not at balance point yet but i'm getting there, some people where telling me that it's easier standing up.
well i've tried standups and only got them a few inches off the ground and i feel awkward.
what's you guyz experience is it easier standing up or sitting down?
also some help with standups please.

Standups are where it's at bro. They feel awkward at first but just like sit's you just keep popping it up a little and it just gets better. Practice. Also standups are way easier to BP IMO. I can't even ride a sit down for crap but can rock standers slow or on the freeway

even though it feels awkward just keep doing them. They're more stable than sit downs and you can see in front of you which is nice.

I can do back peggers alright, but I'd like to learn standups from the front two pegs, everytime I just feel like I don't know what I'm doing.
I know it's going to feel weird until you get used to it, it sure did with the rear peg ones, but at least with those your body is sort of locked into one postition. But with the front peg ones I'm just not sure where my body should be at when I'm launching them.
Should I have my but way back over the passenger seat or what? What about my legs, bent, not bent? And do I grip the tank with my knees?
Any input would rock. (My wheelie world)

Standing is easier for me, sitdowns feel akward.

Left foot rear peg right foot covering brake, clutch it up and try to learn to ride wheelies behind bp using your rear brake to catch your mistakes. Something that helps me out is runnin low tire pressure on the rear...

Try standing with legs straight arms straight and your head right over handlebars. It was easier for me to learn by looking at my front tire while I pop the clutch. Then your automatically looking straight forward. Also make sure you pop clutch with one finger so you still have three holdin on.
