Another question, does the coast have to be landed? Foot back on pedals?
Also, how do we measure and film?

Yeah im in and it shouldnt have to landed on the pedals because that
makes it way harder. It should just be about the coastin no landing,
you can always learn that later.🙂

Has anybody ever even coasted that far? I haven't seen anyone... and I
can understand why having tried it.
I'm in, but I doubt I'll do it!

Why the hell would i be thinking of grinding?!? In the 1ft wheel walk
tutorial by co1n19s or something it sais that if you take your foot of
the wheel you will almost certainly fall backwards. anyway who cares
ive seen shaun johanneson do it somehow and i dont know why he didnt
fall backwards. skill i guess or leaning forward.

Thats 1ft ww this is coasting, they are very different. Your weight
distribution is different and your means of ballance is different. If
your 1ft wwing and you just take your foot off the tyre the wheel will
roll out and you will normally fall backwards. When gliding and stuff
you can get away with taking your foot of the tyre breifly but its
normaly not intentinal and its only realy because your off ballance
forward and trying to let the wheel speed up to level out the
ballance.
Oh yea and that was my tutorial.

so I just took my foot off the tyre lol.
