  1. I'm having a hard time finding a decent wheel walk or 1 ft ww tutorial
    with good explanations.

    Can anyone post please post a link?

    Also, what did you learn first, WW or 1 foot WW? It seems like most
    people think WW is easier, but so far 1 footed has seemed easier to
    me.

    thanks a lot

  2. sorry i dont have a link but wheel walking is definatly easier to learn
    than 1 foot ww. like most tricks its mostly down to practice, practice,
    practice.

    the main points i remember finding useful was to sit up strait with
    your head up, and use the whole of your foot on the wheel, right from
    toe to heel.

    to start with, practice with a wall, then start along a wall and
    continue away, then try from riding.

    hope this helps,
    Matt

  4. This video has seemed to be the most helpful.

    When I try to go into the wheel walk out of a left foot idle it seems
    easier than holding onto a wall.

  7. erm... try doing it up a slight hill, then you can get the pushing right
    without the uni rolling away from you [2 foot this is]. Once you can
    get a good distance forward then you fall sideways, try turning as if
    you would with your feet on the pedals, to stay up.

    Maybe also ride at a slow steady pace then make the transition into WW
    as then you have your balance already, rather than having to start from
    still and push off a wall which will offen overbalance you anyway.

    Sorry it isnt dedicated, but I do some WW and 1 foot WW in this video
    if you have some spare time to check it out:

  8. ducttape i think you're doing alright. after practicing you will realise
    that you always fall forwards and therefore need to lean further back.
    its scary at first how far you have to lean back but once you fall
    backwards a few times you wil work out where you need to be.
