1 foot wheel walk. need tips
 

I can wheel walk with both feet fearly well and can get into 1 foot
wheel walking but can only do it for a few metres or so. Is there any
thing that will help apart from practice? I am doing this on a qu-ax
trials uni.

It took me a long time to get the basics of 1-ft-ww. Didn't help that I
didn't practice.

It's all about learning foot control and learning the right touch on
the tire (not too much and not too little). Helps me to point my foot
down and keep the foot pointed down as much as possible. When the foot
flattens out or when the heel gets too close to the tire I lose it.
The big hurdle is learning the foot control and the muscle memory so
you can do it without thinking. Once you get that the skill is yours.

im currently learning 1 foot wheel walking as well. i find the best way
is to look forwards, keep your body up straight and have your arms
spread out to keep your balance easier.

I was doing a wheelie on my bike and figured why not buy a unicycle.

I'm in the 1 footed ww learning stage also...
One thing I find for me is not to forget to twist as needed to keep
your balance the way you would with two footed.
I think John has it right with the "muscle memory" as I really only
started to practice yesterday and spent an hour doing only 1ft ww today
and by the end I was able to go 10 feet easily.(on a 20" lx)
