  1. Does anyone have any tips for training yourself to get your feet onto
    the frame and not have them fall off, another issue I have encountered
    is staying balanced once my feet are off the pedals.

    ok i have been riding for 3 years, doing tricks for 6 months and being
    sorta hardcore for 3 months (before that the only trick i did was a
    hop-180 to backwards riding or a spin off of a wall or something

    Ah, that's an important bit of info.

    How are you at one foot riding? Can you keep your foot on the frame?

    One foot wheel walking took me a long time to learn. Lots of practice.
    I found practicing in a hallway, where I could keep both hands on the
    walls, helped. Practicing on a slight uphill grade can help. Mostly
    it's about learning foot control. How to push smoothly with a light
    touch. How to drag your foot back lightly. It's something that you
    have to get into muscle memory so the foot learns what to do without
    you thinking or being conscious of it. That can take time.

    One foot wheel walking also tends to be slower than two foot wheel
    walking so side to side balance becomes more difficult. Practice and
    learn to use the hips.
