Sideways Wheel Walk

I'm not that good at it yet about the same as you by the sounds of
things but I always get batter results when I put all the weight of my
body on my arms and harfly any on my legs and feet
hope that helps a bit good luck

nice, you're doing well.

has anyone ever broken a seat doing sideways wheelwalk, by putting too
much weight on the ends? I assume a CF base would be better for
this....

I lost the seat post shim in my trials frame so I can't put a seat on
it.

Well I am using a CF seat so I don't have to worry about that.

nothing to do with the sideways ww but is the bigger frame with the
smaller wheel easy for flips? i noticed mike clarks is the same way in
defect.

Nope, it makes no difference at all. You can't even tell the frame is
too big when riding it. I think Mike Clark has the 24" frame because
the 20" united doesn't have much (or any?) clearance on a trials wheel.

You seem to have the idea pretty well. Make sure to put all your weight
on the seat. Work on making your pushes as smooth as possible.
Concentrate on your right foot, since it does most of the driving and
steering. The other foot isn't really even necessary. As you advance,
experiment with one-footed sideways wheel walk, with the free foot
extended, on the frame, or draped over the saddle. You can also try the
running jump mount into sideways glide, which isn't nearly as hard as
it sounds, if you do it only a short distance. Sideways wheel walk took
me many long months to learn (partly because I started when I wasn't
that good yet), but it's definitely worth it. Just the other day, I did
it in a circle fot the first time.🙂
