Re: wheelwalking: the real thing

Here's a description of wheel walking at unicycling.org: 'Wheel Walking'
(http://tinyurl.com/1xt).

A video of someone wheel walking would also help explain the concept in
ways that static pictures and big words cannot. Anyone have a good
short clip that demonstrates wheel walking with good form?

I seem to remember that somewhere on one of John Foss's galleries, he
has a short clip of Nathan and Beau Hoover racing down a set of stairs.
At the bottom, Beau switches over to a quick wheel walk to the finish
line.

I don't know how to search for galleries, other than paging through.
Perhaps John will toss an assist here.

wheel walking is just walking on the wheel to make it go (you push
backwards (with your feet) on the top of the wheel and it goes forward)

I actually push *forward* on the top of the wheel. Save backwards for
later! 🙂
