  1. I have started unicycling a year ago, and although my trials and muni is
    getting okay, I have a few questions. I would have posted this on the
    tutorial section, but people said I would have more responses here.

    1. I am have trouble ww. I can do 3-4 strokes, before I fall off. I
    have practiced, but I always seem to fall forwards.
    2. Can rolling sif be done? Is it effective?
    3. I've seen president lukes vid, and he did a kind of crankflip, but
    he still had his feet on the pedals what is this called? I can do a
    half revolution, almost a 270, but I can't get a full rotation. I would
    have looked this up, but I didn't know the name of the trick
    4. I have 145 profiles, and I would like to learn how to crankflip.
    Would the length of my cranks cause difficulties to learn to
    crankflip?
    5. How long does it take on average to crankflip?
    6. I want to get my frame and cranks powder coated silver, how much
    would this cost?

    Any help would be great!
    Thanks a lot!

    Daniel

    This was my case for one full year. Then one day last week, it just
    hit me and I could do it. It just takes lots of practice (in my case,
    lots and lots and lots of practice...) Unlike most other tricks where
    there is a realization of "Oh, that's how it works!", this one just
    kind of happens without you realizing it.

    The best advice I have for wheelwalking is to take it real slow. Try
    to go as slow as you can and not get ahead of the wheel. Some people
    say that going up hill helps, but it was no use to me.

  4. For wheel walking, dont really lean back more, but stick your but out
    more, so it makes your frame lean back and not be straight up and down,
    then your body should be tilted forwards.

    Start slow, and keep it slow, zig-zag if you have to. Just keep
    practicing. WW takes a while.

  5. while we're on the topic (sorry for the threadjack danni) I have a quick
    question on WW too...

    so I'm riding forwards and I want to start wheelwalking. do I come to a
    stop and start WWing, or do I just put my feet up there while I'm still
    moving? I ask because I find it tough to stay balanced after coming to
    a stop and then starting my WW.
