learning standups with left foot on rear peg

For all those wheelie kings out there, Is is a good idea to learn standups with the left foot on the rear passenger peg or should I just learn the normal way.
Also would you advise changing the position of my rear brake so it is easier to tap it with my right foot?

Yep, always have your left foot on the passenger peg for standups.

Yep, I had to lower my brake a lot before it felt right.

Re: learning standups with left foot on rear peg

I ride with my foot on that passenger peg. Ever since I got into slow stuff it just feel better, im a rear brake addict nowa days. The REAL trick is doing slow stuff with both feet up front. I recently picked that trick up...
