Beginner here, been riding inconsistently for the past 4 or 5 months. Bunnyhops are coming along slowly but surely so I decided to gett myself a federal wheelset with a fc rear hub. Its got just one slack ring in it at the moment and I think I've pretty much gotten used to riding it around without hitting my knees on the stem.
Been trying the whole bump into a curb and go backwards in fakie but I almost immediately start to turn sideways the moment I bump off. When my rear wheel lifts from the initial bump off it tends to go sideways. The rare times I do managed to balance straight-ish for a couple of seconds, I don't quite understand where to shift my weight when I try to initiate the turn around. Any tips?

Lean back
Lean back, you’re over the middle of the bike. Also Learn when to turn the bars around the other way and pull the front end around. If you keep the bars turned the same way the whole time, you’ll go in a big circle like you just did
