Leg pain from 1 ft ww

No I didn't experience that pain, but I think you're right about it just
being a result of using previously un-used muscles. My back hurt back
two years ago when I was learning to unicycle.

Sounds like sore hamstrings. This is normal from that activity. Your
hamstrings are not real strong compared to the muscles on the front
(quads), and get tired more easily doing this kind of stuff. When I go
for long-distance gliding it always comes down to how much my hamstrings
can handle before they start to cramp up.

I started out practicing pushing with my left foot but after a few days
it hurt too much so I practiced with my right foot instead. Same thing
with my right hand when I began with trials. I took a two week break and
then I continued, but now holding the seat with my left hand.

It was mostly about technique in both cases. I always overdo it when I
try new stuff and then I get hurt and it takes ages for it to heal. Try
to avoid this if you have enough discipline :-)

Seeing the pic Jagur posted reminded me about another question I was
meaning to ask. Is it much easier to 1 Ft WW and coast with a slick
tire then a knobby? My Luna is going to need replacing and I was
thinking that I might swap it with a slick. That brings up another
question...which slick tires will fit on the 19" Alex DX32 rim?

Thanks

I noticed the same thing, probably because I too am impatient and when
learning a new trick I tend to binge on it till I can do it. Form me,
John foss is right--it's a matter of overtaxing the hamstring on the
pushing leg. A good stretch after the workout will help. Also try
practicing the trick every other day.

Lastly, per the slick vers. knoby tire--I had a breakthrough with 1 foot
WW when my shoe got wet walking across the lawn, meaning the tire could
skid under my shoe, as opposed to it stopping every time I put the
pressure on. For me, the trick was learning how to keep the kicking
foot light as a feather on the tire, letting the tire keep rolling
rather than stopping it with each kick.

it took me forever to learn how to glide with my very knobby duro
leopard 24x3...and now that i've worn down the tire, its hard to press
down hard enough! my foot has been trained to be a feather on the wheel,
and now that there's no friction it needs to be more like 30 feathers...

i learned with a knobby tire so yes it is possible
