What Gearing/ Sprockets/ chain to stunt an F4i?

Sup guys,
I want to start stuntin my f4i, but I'm having difficulty poppin a wheelie. Might be that I'm too chicken, or I'm too heavy, 200+lbs. Any suggestions on gearing/ chain/ sprocket changes that will get the front up, but still give me rideability in the canyons/ Track?
thanks

First of all if you aren't clutching it up, then that's your problem; not gearing.

i guess you can try learning powering first gears.... i think thats how most people start off...... it lets them get to know the throttle better.

Don't go with the 520 kit. Stick with your 525 chain. If you are going to stunt the 525 will last longer. Get a chain a with few more links than u need.. so u can add links later if you opt for a bigger rear sprocket.
