soon as you land bend your legs and shift your weight right back over the back hub/wheel, your butt should be behind the seat so the front goes light for the stall

just go straight up the bank quite slow to start and hop up and pull the bike up and forwards so your weight ends up over the back

if its on a bank try foof's first as in fufanu's. Go up slightly sideways and then when you fall forward your half falling into the landing already unless your fakies are good its easier to come out of stuff forward.

Guess its all about practice, but learning manuals will definitely help you find the balance point, and try learning backhops to, they usually help with tricks where you have to stall.

maybe your trying to stall it for to long? just go up and tap down on the blunt then hope it straight back in then once u have them dialled try stalling for longer.
just lock on the brake learn off the bike and hope it back in.
