Today I managed a mixture of most my coolest skills in one. I had seen
it on the Twin City video but only realized after I managed the skill
where I had seen it. I don’t know what you call it but it is a mixture
of gliding(kind of) ,1 ft wheel walk and 1 ft ride. I can’t glide yet
but it’s as close as I have ever got. You start off in 1 ft idle the
place your foot on the wheel as if doing a 1 ft ww but do take you other
foot off the pedal the start to 1 ft ww until your pedal with a foot on
is a the highest point then pedal like you do while 1 ft riding but
leaving your other ft on the wheel so it is kind of gliding. If you keep
your momentum going you should continue to “glide”. If not 1 ft ww till
your pedal with ft on is at the highest point and start the “glide”
again it is loads of fun and not that hard.
Is this a useful tool whilst learning to glide? Even if it’s not it’s
loads of fun so go out and try it!
I have been doing for about 40 mins and can do about 6-7 revs. I also
managed a rev of backward 1 ft ride while I was out there so it’s been a
productive session. I am going out to try it again now!
