Default Help with ultimate wheel


-BTM
You could wear hard plastic shin guards and face them inward. That
would give the tire a hard, smooth surface to slide on.

Or do like George Peck's son in "Wheel of Justice" and wear rain boots
duct taped to your jeans so they don't flop around.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

My 2 kids were about 9 when I taught them to UW. Shin guards and
silicone spray on the tyre helps. They just mounted next to a pole and
then went for it. Neither could SIF before.

How's everyone doing on their UWs?

I've been practicing a bit, and last night, at our CAPUNI meetup (NY's
Capital District Uni Club), I actually succeeded in my first figure-8.
Woohoo!
