  3. Actually, why don't you try learning one-foot wheelwalk instead? It's
    closer to coasting.

  4. Learn to wheelwalk before coasting. You'll have the basics of coasting
    down from wheelwalk, so it'll be easier to learn.

    Just pracice, eventually you'll get it.

  6. on the tire
    and then you walk the wheel so that YOU go forwards, your feet walk
    backwards

    put the bottom of your feet on the face of the tire( the part that
    touches the ground)

  7. how easy is one wheeled wheel walking compared to wheelwalking ? i can
    do the latter pretty well now, like i can hit the 10-15 metre mark
    everytime and get back to pedals like 1 in 2. Should i try putting one
    off the on the frame and using just one or just get better at WW first,
    and then it'll be easier?

  9. you just have to push the tyre along, not sure what you mean by placing
    our whole foot on the tyre...

    Just try your best to just push the wheel along, i guess you use more
    the middle/rear of your shoe but that probably depends on your shoe
    size.

    If you mean one foot wheel walking, I found it pretty easy, I started
    trying to 1ft ww a few days ago (when I could ww about 5-15m and
    normaly ride out) and already I can glide a bit, I made about 3 revs
    yesterday, also I think I can now 1ft ww further than I can ww.

    i beg to differ.

    wheel walk is so far from coasting you cant even relate the two. if
    anything gliding is the only other skill that teaches the basics of
    coasting.

    learning to coast well took me about 10 times longer than learning to
    glide and wheel walk put together (the later two i found relatively
    easy)

    anyone can wheel walk with practise, few can coast well.

    I believe the idea is that wheel walking leads to one-foot wheel
    walking. The moments when you slide your foot back to repeat the
    motion is an echo of what it's like to coast. This simple step in a
    one-foot wheel walk does help teach you the bare bones of coasting.
