  1. I've been practicing a bunch at my wheel walking, and my big feet are
    still hitting each other.
    I've decided to skip that and go for 1-foot WW, which feels alot better
    ( i'm more balanced above the uni and my kicks are better)
    i've been doing that with the right foot on the pedal and the left on
    the wheel, but i started going across my garage w/ right foot on the
    frame and left foot pushing
    i can get 3-5 steps, the first of which is assisted, the rest off of the
    garage
    it feels really good, but i cannot get into this WW from riding or from
    a free mount, only against the wall, any tips?
    i've tried walking w/ the left foot on the wheel and waiting until the
    right foot (on the pedal) reaches the top then putting it on the frame,
    but i keep falling

    anyways, i'm HOOKED w/ this 1-foot WW business
    i did a glide for a few feet in the middle of WWing and it was SOOOOO
    cool!!!

    does it seem outrageous/dumb/odd to skip 2-foot WW? my main objective is
    to be able to glide well, so it seemed an obvious thing to do for me
    since 1-foot is easier (for me at least)

  2. does anyone find it odd that i skipped normal wheel walking?
    is it a bad idea?
    is it common, has anyone else done this to get to gliding faster?

    If it works,it works.Good for you.

    I learened ww first,then 1 footww and at the same time gliding,IMO
    gliding was easier to learn than 1fww,I had a hard time with that.

    After 3 weeks of 1fww/gliding,Its been months since I normal wwed,I can
    barely do it.It seems much harder.(although if I just practiced it it
    wouldnt be so hard)
