    Learn to one foot wheel walk, then just start lengthening your strides,
    you will be gliding a little there. Then just go from there I guess.

    could somebody be considered ready to one foot wheel walk when they can
    wheel walk with both feet nonstop?

    ehh i didnt make this up but it takes twice the man (or woman) to ride
    half the bike and im sure everybody agrees

    unicycle isnt a hobby, its a life style

    Yes, as long as you can wheel walk -slowly-, then you are ready to
    learn one-footed.

    when i said wheel walking i meant to say 1 foot whell walking(sorry). I
    do try to slow down by gently pressing my foot on the tire. I tried
    going down a light hill today, but i find it easier to practise on
    flatland.
