WWing on a Coker

Only tried it a few times--wheel walking on the Big One--and got like 30
feet with my knees bashing my chin. Felt weird, but I reckon a keen
Coker dude (Nathan?) must have this down. . . Or am I dreaming?

I can't do any gliding

I think that's what I will learn next

I've never tried either ww or glide on the Coker.

After reading this I went out and tried.

Wheel walking was not too bad. My biggest problem is that I'm too
afraid of falling backwards and so I have the (not-so-unusual) problem
of accelerating out of control. After about 10 minutes I got past that
and could go about 20-30 yards consistently.

Gliding was a lot harder than I though it would be. My best was only
about 10-15 feet.

I don't really enjoy riding the coker unless I'm cruising along at a
fair speed though so I doubt I'll spend much more time practicing these
skills on the Coker.

I swapped out the 110 cranks I had on my Coker and went out again this
afternoon and tried a few other basic tricks like idling (not bad), seat
out riding (weird) one footing (mighty crunched up) and 1 foot WWing
(mighty wobbly for me) and I could see how this could get addictive.
I've been MUniing for the last 4-5 months and haven't been on the Big
One in ages. It's a riot. A flat crown would help a lot. I've got the
Airefoil rim but just the standard frame, sans brakes, and it's
aweful.

well I decided to try 'wheel walking my coker'
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c0bqvDyzHU) I'm still learning but 8.5
pushes is pretty good for a coker. I got video of it I was going to
start a new thread but a quick search found me a really old thread that
deserves resurrecting with the exact same title I would have used
