I'm sure people will freak out and be all- use the search button!

But shoooot just make sure both you're feet don't hit the wheel at the
same time unless u are swirving and need to get cintrol. Sorry that's
not much help

Patience young padawan, when your mind is in peace you'll know what to
do.

In other words, practice! And that means LOTS of it
I assume you know one footed wheelwalk, if you don't, learn.

I think it's a bitt easier to learn to glide while going 1ft ww, just
gliding for really short sessions lets you get the hang of it..

As already stated, learn to 1ft wheel walk before learning to glide.

Next I would suggest learning pull gliding. Get a friend to stand
facing you and grip one or both of their arms while on the unicycle.
Next get into the gliding position (while holding onto them) and then
get them to walk or run backwards, pulling you along.

Ok When your Gliding where is most of your weight? on the rim, or the
seat, and the foot thats not on the rim, is it skimming the tire? or are
you holding above the tire?
