  3. from the wise words of jsm that helped nearly instantly, lean back to
    when it almost feels unconfortable, but thats how it goes down. if your
    worried out it being a 24 no worries, i learnedon a 28, just raise the
    seat a little bit and just practice

  7. It is easier on a small wheel, because the crown is shorter... You can
    get your feet up or back down more quickly - not as far to go.

    You do need to change your weight distribution when wheel walking. It
    means leaning back further than you will feel comfortable with
    initially.

    When you're wheel walking you have both legs out in front. That means
    that there is extra weight out front that needs to be countered by
    leaning back a bit more. That's the freaky part with learning to wheel
    walk.

    Push your butt backwards while keeping your chest out. That's bad
    posture if you were standing and it's the kind of thing you'd do if
    trying to make your butt look bigger and your chest look bigger. But it
    helps with wheel walking because it gets the weight a little bit further
    back while not being too far back.
