Just learning to wheel-walk

Try to lean back, but dont allow the saddle to slip out from under you.

Tips for doing it? sit tall.

Tips for learning?

- Patience. I reckon learning to WW (from being able to e.g. one-foot
idle) took as long as learning to ride the uni in the first place
- Get your footing right first, i.e. so you don't have to look at
the wheel, before you start trying to balance as well 😉
- A corridor or something where you can put one hand on each wall at
the same time helps *a lot*. Then you can learn the
forwards-backwards balance first.
- A lot of people say practising riding normally but really really
slowly helps too, 'coz the fastest speed you can WW is pretty slow in
comparison to normal riding. I didn't find that helped me much
tho...
- Some form of protection from the painful
falling-straight-onto-your-tailbone impact con be a good idea too -
especially if practicing on concrete...

HTH and good luck!

The Only tip that I dont see here is that you need to look forward;
where you are going. It is so hard not to look at the wheel or your
feet as you are doing it, But when I was learning I was told to sit
straight up and look forward. I fouind it helped me lots!

Keep your back straight, and lean back a LOT.
Also, keep a lot of weight on the tire so it won't move at all when you
don't want it too.
