She also states in the video that it isn't the only way to learn idle wheelies, but helps to isolate the 3 components to learn.

Yeah, that's the way I started too. OneWheelNeal told me to go this route. Was supposed to help with the oh shit feeling of looping and teach yu where the bar is and to trust in it. Still not sure it was the best way to start but it worked for me. I got pretty good at coming back to the bar without slamming it. Dit prolly 100's of them without ever having a sub issue. Haven't done one since I tore my acl in half when one didn't come up high enough, got on the gas a 2nd time to get it up (bad idea) and tried to hold the bike back when it took off. Bent my knee the wrong way

No body told me to do that I just did not have back brake control and did not know when it was going to hit at the time. I would just try to scrap but sometimes it would smash :shrugs. I did watch leah's video's I took some of her info and it did help and the tone video's but leah is a lot hotter
