Update

Still cannot manual. No longer trying.
Can't seem to find the balance point to keep it going.
Seems to always want to come down on the front wheel no matter how far I lean back, and If i go any farther back my bike pushes me off the back.

It is a matter of balance, power control, and experience. Some can do it, some cannot. No big deal, just keep it on two wheels and enjoy the ride.

I have tried and tried, over decades and I just can't do it. Like you I can't find that balance point. I just add it to the list things I cannot do but I keep riding my bike and isn't any less enjoyable. Though I do feel your frustration, been there, done that.

Yeah it seems as if only some people have a true 'balance point' and others just do not have it, instead of finding it.
