  1. I've been practising backwards wheel walking resently and I'm not really
    getting it, is it an especially hard trick to master? Has anyone got any
    tips?

  2. I think the main part of the trick is to keep the back straight as
    possible and not to get the feet tangled up, the feet is probobly a good
    start to master first.

  4. Yes, it took me quite a while to get, be patient. It is anatomically
    more difficult than going forward, because your feet have really poor
    grip on the tire when "pulling." It's a good hamstring workout.

  7. I only just "got" backwards wheel walk today. I got 20 steps which is
    quite a lot more than i had previously got.

    It takes quite a while to get. It just kind of clicked today. go slowly
    and don't lean back to far. i think that works for me. Also take small
    steps with almost no gap between the feet. this will be easier to go
    further when your learning. pull the wheel with the heel and toe.

  8. That's great Nick, are you going to go to UniNats next year? The
    freestyle competitions might be a little more interesting with you
    competing in them - then it won't just be Simon impressing the crowd. 🙂
    Did you know there are a few other riders from Perth who occasionally
    visit unicyclist.com? Have you met them?

  10. Andrew...

    I may go to uni nats but the problem is the location. Depending on how
    far away it is i'll see if i can go.
    I have met other unicyclists from perth. We have a bit of a group going
    with about 6 riders.
