  1. Any tips or tricks to WW? I try to keep it slow and paced- but I cant
    help but speed up to not fall back!

  2. The best thing to do is to practice. Honestly, theres a pretty limited
    explanation to a trick like wheel walking. It can be frustrating, but
    don't give up. It comes to you after a bit. It's a cool trick.

  4. Start near a wall or a pole, hold onto it, get your feet onto the tire,
    and just start to slowly push, try to keep your feet movement constant
    and steady, don't look at your wheel, you gotta let your feet do the
    walking without you looking where they are going on the tire, hold on
    the rail\pole or wall and just practice getting the movement down on
    with a lot of support from what your grabbing onto, then slowly rely
    less and less on your support, then once your pretty comfortable doing
    that, start doing it while pushing off the object, so now you have no
    support, keep practicing until you get it, lean a little back, but not
    too far, and use tiny goals, like to make it to the line 5feet in front
    of you.

    Good luck!!!

    really? That's surpising to me. I guess it's that skills like jumping
    are a different sort of balance type than wheelwalking. Getting the
    hang of it, like any new and different skill will improve all the other
    parts of your riding too, as you'll understand the balance of the uni
    better.

    Hell, that makes me feel a little better. I can't do handrails,
    unispins or crank flips... but at least I can wheelwalk. I suppose it
    all depends on what you spend time practicing.

    And yes, that's pretty much what it takes: practice and lots of it

  7. Like others have said, keep practicing. Don't give up. It's by far the
    most challenging trick that I've learned if only because of patience to
    get through feeling like you're doing the same thing and falling day in
    and day out.

  8. I assume the natural learning "cycle" from WW would then be One-foot WW,
    followed by Gliding? That's what I'm going for next: Still hoping I
    don't fall flat on my back! :eek:

    Uni is just a cycle I'm going through. 😎
