IMO it's all in clutch control. Also keep practising, it'll become second nature eventually. I wasn't particulary good at it either. Embarassed

I find that looking where you want to go not at the floor, or the front wheel is crutial.

Be quite loose, don't be tense, it'll only make it harder....try and 'flow' with the bike.

With slow control you need to keep a nice bit of momentum up to stop wobbling.

Once you have done it a few times it gets easy!

Drag the back brake and keep the bike under power, you can also vary the clutch to help. Keeping some controlling the bike under power with the back brake should give you more control and help to stop the wobbles.
