I have trouble balancing standups too. It seems to help me if I look forward, instead of at the ground.

Yeah My ?? Exactly.... I find stand ups on the rear pegs sure easy... It is on those you have to keep equal pressure on both feet..

Right foot on brake and left on back peg is the same, keping even pressure,

Who does them standing on reg foot pegs, I have been trying these, I can rock them pretty far, but it feels real odd....

i do standups wit one foot on left bmx peg, and one on brake. looking forward helps alot. i have also done it both feet on the stock footpegs, i got it down but i like standing straight up on the bmx peg better. standup circles are fun both ways when you get them down real good.

ride mine on dirt alot cause i'm tryin to get my jumps down... i figured a rear peg would get in the way how easy are they to take off and put back on... would like to learn them on the reg pegs i think my prob is i'm not getting the bike back far enough... it comes up fine but then it wants to go right back down even when i give it more throttle

stock peg standups are far more pimp and difficult, totally different weight distribution, I don't have very good ones yet, but working on it....

BMX pegs are not exactly easy to remove.. Depends on style... I just have one on and I put it to the stock hole for teh chain gaurd...
