steering a stand up HELP!!

Ok, how the hell do I steer this standup crap? I recently learned how to stand up wheelie(still learning). I have left foot on rear and right near brake. I tried leaning today to the left, but got no response. I sometimes flow to the right when I get it up.
Thanks for the help in advance!

to steer a standup you need to move you body off center of the bike to which ever side you want it to go

it is slow at first and it will gradually go in that direction. also the higher the front end is the easier it is to change the direction of the bike

Lean your body in the direction that you want to turn...

Yeah, the height helps. I was having a wicked time for a while turning left but am getting the hang of it now.

Do the rocka-way, lean back, lean back.....

yah, I always try to lean back in a wheelie. In my short sitdowns, I can lean far back even when I'm pretty high. I'm just starting to learn standups and leaning back has just started to cross my mind more. Yesterday the bike came up good on a good flat road and when I cut the throttle, it floated for a few seconds then came down(awsome feeling). Tomorrow leaning will be next on my agenda along with getting it up higher before I stand.
