  3. Lean back.

    If your going to fast,lean back farther than you would think
    neccesary.And,of course,dont walk so fast.

    I dont know about other people,but for me it helps to just lean my butt
    and the seat back,and put my upper body forward a little more.

  5. dont just kick the wheel. press your foot on it, move it forward, and
    then take it off. you have to be in control, not the unicycle. your foot
    will act as sort of a brake if you press hard enough as you "walk the
    wheel". and go uncomfortably slow. hope this helps

  7. Heels and hamstrings. Your hamstrings provide the braking power, and
    your heels are how you transfer it to the wheel. Practice letting your
    heels be part of the wheel-pushing process.

    Practicing on a piece of uphill pavement can help you get your speed
    under control as well.

  8. Learning to go REAL SLOW pays off once you move to 1 foot WWing and
    gliding, which by the sound of it you'll be tackling next week . . .

  10. I've learned WW, 1ft WW and Gliding on a 24", and now that I have a 20"
    too, I think it's easier to manage.
    When I think of a 28", how much space would be left between your butt
    and the wheel? There should be at least some space, otherwise things
    might be very hard to do.
