lean all the way back and when you are too far back press the back break with your foot it is real easy-----> are you popping the clutch or going slow and lifting up???

I find it helps to start with having one foot on the seat, so you can get a general idea of where your balance point is. Once you can ride those out for a while sit down work your way up.
