wheel walking update
I've been practicing a bunch at my wheel walking, and my big feet are still hitting each other. I've decided to skip that and go for 1-foot WW, which feels alot better ( i'm more balanced above the uni and my kicks are better) i've been doing that with the right foot on the pedal and the left on the wheel, but i started going across my garage w/ right foot on the frame and left foot pushing i can get 3-5 steps, the first of which is assisted, the rest off of the garage it feels really good, but i cannot get into this WW from riding or from a free mount, only against the wall, any tips? i've tried walking w/ the left foot on the wheel and waiting until the right foot (on the pedal) reaches the top then putting it on the frame, but i keep falling anyways, i'm HOOKED w/ this 1-foot WW business i did a glide for a few feet in the middle of WWing and it was SOOOOO cool!!! does it seem outrageous/dumb/odd to skip 2-foot WW? my main objective is to be able to glide well, so it seemed an obvious thing to do for me since 1-foot is easier (for me at least) -- ColDawG - Level 4 after 2 months Looking for MUni buddies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ColDawG's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9503 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40281 |

does anyone find it odd that i skipped normal wheel walking? is it a bad idea? is it common, has anyone else done this to get to gliding faster? -- ColDawG - Level 4 after 2 months Looking for MUni buddies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ColDawG's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9503 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40281 |

I learened ww first,then 1 footww and at the same time gliding,IMO gliding was easier to learn than 1fww,I had a hard time with that. After 3 weeks of 1fww/gliding,Its been months since I normal wwed,I can barely do it.It seems much harder.(although if I just practiced it it wouldnt be so hard) -- forrestunifreak - Mr. addict/team YAMS member "You do not make the unicycle-the unicycle makes you." ~Y.C. tv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ forrestunifreak's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6828 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40281 |
