its easy, you lean forward when you accelerate and lean back when you brake. That way your weight balances out physics' attempt to throw you on your ass or face. A unicycle works the same way.

:werd: or no different than somebody running a wheelie or an endo on a motorcycle.... you just control the balance of the bike against its natural tendancy to fall forward or backward.

but you cant ride a wheelie or a endo for ever...(for ever as in for a couple of miles around turns, stop sign, red lights, etc etc etc...

it would only be the same as wheelies and endos (physics wise) when you were under throttle or brake. for continuous riding, it wouldnt be all that different than riding a motorcycle, as long as you dont lean forward or back....

Theoretically yes, in application no, especially if this thing is able to muster any speed whatsoever.
You have a lot more leverage to lean with on a bike (displacing your weight across the entire surface area of the body) versus being stuck upright on a tiny wheel, you'd have very little influence on it's course of direction.
