    Initially I filmed this just to be able to see myself ride but I'd like
    to share in hopes of getting some advice. The video is nothing big, so
    don't get your hopes up but I'd like advice on one footed wheel
    walking. This isn't all that I can do, and by all means it doesn't
    showcase the best of my normal wheel walking but here we are!

    Again, constructive criticism welcome.

    P.S. It was fun chasing that cat away 🙂

    It looks like you have the right idea for 1-foot WW. Try sitting up
    straighter, and look ahead instead of down. Have you tried going from
    2-foot WW to 1-foot? Maybe you can keep a more upright posture than
    when you mount into 1-foot.

    I have tried transitioning from 2-foot to 1-foot however the result
    generally seems to be the same, 6 or 7 scuffs. I have trouble when
    doing it while looking ahead, I never get very far, but you are right
    about sitting straighter, I need to practice that. The biggest thing I
    notice while attempting 1-foot wheel walking is that I either feel like
    im falling forward and cant scuff fast enough to catch myself or that
    the scuffing throws me too far off balance either forwards or back.

    Thanks Enahs, wheel walking takes a lot of practice but it is
    definitely rewarding.

    nice. for one foot wheel walking take phlegms advice, but otherwise just
    practise, it looks like you have the general idea of what to do 🙂

    Thanks for the advice and encouraging words everyone! I'll post a more
    significant video once I've got gliding down. 🙂
