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. -- CameronHolden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CameronHolden's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12676 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51150 |

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. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Dirty Muni Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51150 |

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. -- tomtrevor I was doing a wheelie on my bike and figured why not buy a unicycle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomtrevor's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12118 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51150 |

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) -- Victory 'My Gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/ln5ml) your restless heart won’t win ‘cause you take but you don’t give and you’ll keep moving on until you learn what love is ~ sanctus real ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Victory's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10062 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51150 |
