I learned by pedalling at an average pace, then I started taking my left
foot of a pedal for about a third of a revolution. I kept that up for a
day or two. Then i tried on a 24" and it was much easier. Maybe post a
video of you trying to ride one footed and we can help a bit more.

One-foot riding hasn't come easily to me either. I managed a couple of
times to go a few revolutions on a 16" wheel, but never have quite
gotten a good feel for it. Oddly perhaps, I am able to idle one-footed
fairly well, though much more easily with my right(strong) foot than
with my left one. Idling one-footed seems to be not a whole lot harder
than normal idling, and the times that I did get into one-foot riding,
I did it out of a one-foot idle. If you can idle now, maybe learning
one-foot idling first would help.

I found it much easier if I kept all of my weight on the seat, and also
using a slight downhill.

Good luck

first, try riding with both feet on the pedal but take almost all your
weight off of one of the pedals. its like riding one footed, but with
both feet on the pedals...then once you can do it with pretty much no
weight on that pedal, try taking it off the pedal for like half a
revolution, and start builindg up.

As someone who can one foot ride backwards with my right foot and
forward with both feet, I found that by learning one foot idling it
gave me a good grounds for learning one foot riding. Another tip is to
get good speed, the same with everything, speed will help you maintain
balance but with this trick it also helps the cranks go round with more
ease i.e. less force from you.
Whilst learning try cycling along then taking your foot off at the top
of the rotation for just a second.

Well... im trying too. I am riding normal and then putting my right
foot on the frame and pedaling with the left. Try going a little
downhill it might help😄 . It started by me when my foot was in a bad
position... then i tried to move it , picked it up, pedaled 1/2 a turn
and ate it!😎

i found that leaning forward a little bit helps. not too much, but make
sure you stay over top of it you may have the tendancey to lean back
and you must fight it.

I never managed to learn this for ages. Then I went to a juggling
convention in Nottingham, where Miark from unicycle.com and Roger +
Roland who are local riders, all showed me how to do it and what I was
doing wrong, and I learnt it that day.

Many people can learn just by riding along, and putting their foot on
the frame. I couldn't do that at all for some reason.

This is what I did -

I learnt from one foot idling. One foot idling is relatively easy to
learn if you can already idle, exactly the same as idling, except you
put your top foot on the frame.

Once you've learnt to one foot idle, start doing an idle, and then
instead of keeping your body in the middle of the idle (in front of the
wheel at the back, behind the wheel at the front), keep it above the
wheel , and give the pedal a big push, so that you get a full
rotation.

As the pedal is coming up, you have to be careful to lift up your foot
at the same time, so as not to slow it down. Let your foot go up and
think light thoughts.

The push is pretty important, you need a solid push to get you over the
top. If the wheel isn't going past the top, you're either leaning
backwards to much, or not pushing enough.

Once you get going, you'll need less of a push, as the light touch on
the pedal's up stroke means it doesn't get slowed down much.
