  1. 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?

  3. Now try coker gliding... that's a lot harder than wheelwalking.
    My best is 20 feet!

  5. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. well I decided to try 'wheel walking my coker'
    (

    ) 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
