is it easier to do one foot wheel walking up a hill down hill or on
flat? i ask this because wheel walking with 2 feet is easier up hill



Flat.
If you try going uphill you start rolling backwards when you drag your
foot back to start the next push.
If you try going downhill you are getting in to gliding territory.

Practice on a nice flat area with a smooth and clean surface. An
underinflated tire might make it easier to learn with, but I'm not sure
about that.

Dust and dirt on the surface will also make it more difficult because
your shoes and tire will pick up the dust making the friction between
your shoe and the tire different. That changes things a lot.
