Slow wheelies

Just had few questions on slow wheelies. I got my basic wheelie's down, but am curious, do I need a bigger sprocket to do them? What's the trick?

Learn your rear brake control, ride your wheelies behind the balance point, then slow wheelies will follow...

Behind BP? That would pretty much cause me to loop, wouldn't it?

Re: Slow wheelies

So how long did it take you guys to slow them down. And by slow i'm talking 5mph or so... creepin. I've been trying to slow them down for a little over a month and haven't had much success.... I have rear brake down from quads and the fiddy but it isn't crossing over to the big bike for some reason.
