1ft ww

Can you already wheel walk two-footed? If so, the transition is pretty
easy. If not, I'd say back up and learn two-footed first.

With only one foot on the wheel, you can't make as big of a push as you
can with both feet. Therefore, you have to make smaller pushes, and they
have to come in pretty quickly.

When I was learning this trick, I would start just as a mount, with my
dominant foot on the tire, pull up my non-dominant foot and put in
FIRMLY on the crown, and start pushing.

I always had a tendency to lean waaaay too far forward, and I would just
accelerate until I fell. LEAN BACK! I know its scary, but to get it
controlled you need to lean back a little bit.

Throw your arms up high for balance. Most people will say look where
you're going, not down... I have better luck looking at the tire. I did
this with regular wheel walking, until I got it down. Now I can look
where I'm going... I'll probably be able to look ahead whilst one-foot
wheel walking once I get better at it.

Also, read the tips on http://www.unicycle.2ya.com .. wheel walking is
under the freestyle tips.

Check out the advice on 'The Unicyclopedia's' (http://tinyurl.com/4y69y)
freestyle page.

For one-footed wheel walk, try to drag your foot along the tire as you
go, so that it's more like gliding while propelling the wheel lightly
when necessary.

Try going to it right from wheel walk, but if you have trouble with
that, try it with a wall or low ceiling. Also, try it barefoot.

Generally, if you want advice on something you should try to explain
exactly what you are doing and what your problems are so that we can
help you better. You asked about stand-up wheel walk a while ago, but if
you can't do one-footed wheel walk yet, you are a long ways from
stand-up. Keep up the practicing, though and you'll get it
eventually!🙂
