    I have no "level" surface that I can use anywhere. There is only down my
    street, and that is slightly (barely barely) sloped. Acceptable?

    Sure i guess that is acceptable. And none taken. That one is better so
    we will use that.

  2. Another question, does the coast have to be landed? Foot back on pedals?
    Also, how do we measure and film?

  3. Yeah im in and it shouldnt have to landed on the pedals because that
    makes it way harder. It should just be about the coastin no landing,
    you can always learn that later.🙂

  8. Has anybody ever even coasted that far? I haven't seen anyone... and I
    can understand why having tried it.

    I'm in, but I doubt I'll do it!

    Why the hell would i be thinking of grinding?!? In the 1ft wheel walk
    tutorial by co1n19s or something it sais that if you take your foot of
    the wheel you will almost certainly fall backwards. anyway who cares
    ive seen shaun johanneson do it somehow and i dont know why he didnt
    fall backwards. skill i guess or leaning forward.

    Thats 1ft ww this is coasting, they are very different. Your weight
    distribution is different and your means of ballance is different. If
    your 1ft wwing and you just take your foot off the tyre the wheel will
    roll out and you will normally fall backwards. When gliding and stuff
    you can get away with taking your foot of the tyre breifly but its
    normaly not intentinal and its only realy because your off ballance
    forward and trying to let the wheel speed up to level out the
    ballance.

    Oh yea and that was my tutorial.

    I did a 3m coast kinda by accident while gliding, I wanted more speed
    so I just took my foot off the tyre lol.
