Glidiing?

There's not really anything else you need to learn, just keep practising
the 1ft ww and get really solid at that, then try and do it faster
untill the wheel is moving so fast you have to do a little glide to
keep balance, Just keep doing that then try on small hills, with
pracise it should come quickly enough from 1ft wwing. Thats how I
learnt to glide, just did 1ft wwing fast enough so I had to glide to
stay up, I didnt even really realise, then try on hills and keep the
momentum going. Not sure if that helped :p

Yeah I think thats common with a lot of people, just means you're
leaning too far forward, just lean right back, almost more then feels
comfortable.

Another thing you may like to try is pull gliding. It helps a lot in
learning the feel of gliding without having to get the balance perfect.
Find a friend to help and get them to stand facing you, with you on
the unicycle. Link hands and then get into gliding position. Start by
one foot wheel walking and then once you have a bit of momentum, get
them to pull you along while you try gliding.

You'll have a bit more stability because your are holding on with both
your hands to someone else plus you don't have to find a hill and they
can adjust their pulling strength based on how much force you are
applying to the tyre.

Be aware that if you are holding on to with both hands your friend is
liable to get a pedal in the shin if something goes wrong. It is safer
for your friend if you just hold on with one arm, but that will be
harder for you.

dont let both your feet touch when learning it man. youll lose control
real easy. keep em apart. youll feel awesome when it comes. hope you
learn it.
