Wheel walking= *munt*

it took me a long time to learn it too, just remember that you have to
be leaned back farther than you might think to keep balance.

It's hard man for me it's the muscles I'm not used to it and get tired.

Don't worry mate i've made little progress either 🙁
My best attempt it sprinting on the wheel for 7 metres and then 2 foot
glide for half a meter and then fall off :p

It took me about a year of on and off attempts to actually get it down.
What I found to be the most help is to go slowly and try not to fall
off the front. Dont try to push the wheel to make it keep up with you,
think of it more as using your feet to keep the wheel from shooting out
in front of you.

Yeah, it's taken me like 3 or 4 months. The biggest help for me was in
realizing that in addition to pushing the wheel forward, you also need
to pull the wheel back towards you slightly sometimes to balance
yourself upright.

Well I allways tell anyone just to lean back, most hte time you fall
because you cant kepe the wheel moving fast enough cause your thinking
to lean forward just like when you learned to ride...Just try leaning
back scarely far and keep control with your feet, use your heals to
slow you down if you have to. Just dont go oober fast!

I've been working on WW off and on for about a year. Still not that
great at it. My advice is to make sure you're not just trying to throw
the wheel forward as fast as you can. Get a good grip with your shoe
as you move the wheel forward in a controlled manner. Put your toes on
the top of the tire just before your other heel leaves the bottom part
of the tire. Take it slow - learning is about technique, not distance.

One thing I personally found useful is to have the seatpost a little
higher than you'd have it when you're doing hops.

Thanks for that guys. Yeah I've been told to lean back before...I
usually forget to :P I do have some wheelwalking videos but I cant be
bothered uploading em.

1 year??!?! i thought it'd take a week! I'm only doing it so I can
learn to glide afterwards.

haha! Yea you'd need at least a month or so on average to be
proficient. After that you'd learn to one foot wheelwalk and THEN comes
gliding.

last winter it took 3-4 months for me to learn to ww. I went all summer
practicing 1ft ww and am still a little sketchy at it. I started all
this to transition into gliding also and I'm still not there yet.
