Patience young padawan, when your mind is in peace you'll know what to
do.

In other words, practice! And that means LOTS of it 🙂
I assume you know one footed wheelwalk, if you don't, learn.

I think it's a bitt easier to learn to glide while going 1ft ww, just
gliding for really short sessions lets you get the hang of it..

As already stated, learn to 1ft wheel walk before learning to glide.

Next I would suggest learning pull gliding. Get a friend to stand
facing you and grip one or both of their arms while on the unicycle.
Next get into the gliding position (while holding onto them) and then
get them to walk or run backwards, pulling you along.

Ok When your Gliding where is most of your weight? on the rim, or the
seat, and the foot thats not on the rim, is it skimming the tire? or are
you holding above the tire?

That confused me but your foot doesn't touch the rim at all. One foot is
on the crown and one is on the tire. In the beginning you will have alot
of weight on the tire but as you get better you will have less pressure
on it.

when you're starting out, you'll have most of your weight on the tire,
which will make you go slow. but as you get better, you'll eventually
have most of your weight on the seat instead of the tire.

If you have most of your weight on the tyre, you would come to a very
quick stop due to friction. That's really more than just going slow. I
guess you mean beginners have most of their weight on the CROWN?
