How?

Every time i try i end up in a heap on the floor with a stem shaped bruise on my knackers.
Usually i get my body weight too far over to one side (over correcting) or get the 'don't think about falling off, don't' think about falling off, I might fall off.....'crunch.

What's your top tips?

Look at the end. Look beyond the end if you can. Don't look at your wheels!

Don't think about not thinking about falling off. Just look where you want to go and focus on going there. Start low.

Aye, I do look up I think its just a balance defecit on my part but it is something i'd like to conquer. There's one stretch of dead flat raised kerb outside a petrol station around the corner, maybe 10m in length i can do maybe 1 go in twenty, be nice to have a few shorter but angled bits to go at too, not an easy skill to practice without having stuff set up i guess
