    I've been trying to learn this, and I wasn't getting anywhere until I
    started pushing around a shopping cart in an empty parking lot...when I
    suddenly went up to about 100 or 200 feet within half an hour...but as
    soon as I let go, I fall.
    And occasionally, the uni slips out in front of me..and instead of just
    falling out in front, it rolls a foot or so, hits the cart, and then the
    seat painfully rams into the front of my crotch. So, I'm thinking this
    might not be the best idea.

    Something about which I'm a little confused:
    When I'm WW, and I push down with my one foot, do I want to stop the
    unicycle with my foot before my other foot takes over, or am I trying to
    keep the uni going forward as I switch foots, to keep it smother?

    Sounds like an indication you're swimming... or not sitting with your
    full weight in the seat. Which is -when learning- fair, since you feel
    safe when applieng much force on the tire (to have many grip/contact).
    But maybe too much?
    As you answer yourself; yes, you should keep the rotating motion smooth
    when swopping feet.
    You may want to have a 'look here'
    (http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=w320240ww) and 'here'
