Gliding

you got unispins or crankflips yet? it was only last week you were
asking for help on that, don't take too much on at once or you'll never
learn anything.

well, when I see people do it (I can't do it myself yet...) it seems
like they 1ft ww really fast briefly, then just put their foot on the
tire and let it rub to slow down. if they slow down too much, 1ft ww
again to pick up speed.

I work all day on unicycling since its christmas brake, so i can work
on other stuff.

I just got down gliding proficiently last night, find a decent hill to
do it on, do one foot wheel walk with one foot planted SOLID on the
frame, this is important, you need good grip on the frame with the
other foot. Then with the foot you use to push the wheel in one foot
wheel walk just lightly drag the foot applying pressure as need to stay
up.

I mount right into the glide, so i start with the uni in front of me i
have one foot on the pedal and the other foot goes right up to the tire
like a one foot wheel walk and the one on the pedal goes right up to
the frame.

Make sure your arms are out for balance, i find if you reach forward
with them it keeps you from falling off the back. Make sure your back
is straight and just go for it! Good luck, I hope I helped. All you can
really do is whatever works best for you, I wasn't given instructions,
I just did what felt like worked and I'm sure thats different for
everyone.

Part of gliding is touching the wheel with your foot so you don't fall.

Yeah, when you are gliding one foot should be dragging slightly so that
you can control your speed and balance. Coasting on the other hand is
when you are riding with neither foot touching the tire or pedals.

Most people find it easier to put your foot on the frame when gliding
(not too sure about 1ft ww). It keeps the pressure all on the frame and
not on your foot that is trying to control the speed of the wheel, so
therefore it is a lot easier. Thats what I find anyway.

kk, i think that will help a lot, yesterday, i was keeping one foot out,
then one foot doing the pressure. so i kept on putting on to much
pressure and either falling, or going to a fast wheel walk.

Also, with freestyle, a higher seat will make things like this easier,
because you have more leg movement between the wheel/frame, and the
seat, and not have to have your leg get crammed up as it would with a
lower seat. =p

Everybody else have pretty much told you all you need, just gotta
practice it now.

yea i tried wht they said, its still raining here. 😠
But when i just tried one foot wheel walking with it, it was really
easy, and without trying i started gliding a foot and stuff, but it is
really slippery out side so i prolly wont try untill, if ever it gets
dry, it was also wet yesterday😠 but thanks i know ill get it.

Oh does it make any difference if your crown is rounded, it was prolly
because it was wet, but my foot kept on sliding off, im getting a
Unustar Dx, for christmas😎 and it has a flat really nice crown, i
have a pic of it in my profile.

Do you think that will help more?

It seams like it should be easier like tht.😕

Flat crown will help a lot.

You can put grip tape on a rounded crown and make it better, and some
people have even added extensions to their rounded frames to make a
little platform for their feet.

Well from your first post the only thing that sounds your doing wrong is
simply applying too much pressure to the wheel, the same problmen I had
first learning to glide. Its pretty simple man, if you start to fall
forward releive some of the downward pressure your putting on the tire,
this will start to bring you body back a little bit, along with trying
to use your hips for a lil more stability. If you start to fall back
too much then simple, put on more pressure. You just have to learn a
new sensitivity in your foot as well with a new style of balance, just
try one foot wheelwalking down a small hill and try to get each push
further and further apart learning to glide for short distances at a
time. Ohh and i dont think this will help much but heres a clip of
gliding lol.

Anyone have any videos of ppl gliding, or a how to glide in slow motion,
or something, might make it a little easier unitill it stops raining
here, then drys off.

kk, well earlier today, i started going pretty fast just one footwheel
walking and started to glide a little, but i think it was prolly me
propelling myself than slowing myself down because I was on a flat
area😕
