One foot wheel walk

Unicycles and Equipment

One question regarding one-foot ww: should the foot, that rests on the crown, touch the tire or not? When i try to ww without the contact of the resting foot, i tend to fall on my back…

Tried to find an answer in the older threads but with no success - there are voices that the foot shouldn`t touch the tire because it only slows the movement but also without this contact it is extremly hard to keep the balance…

It shouldnt touch the tyre but your other foot, the foot doing the pushing, should always be touching the tyre. I have made a full wwing tutorial, links in my sig, just skip to the 1ft ww part, hope it helps.

EDIT: The 1ft ww part starts at 3:14 in my video.

Thanks, i saw this video but i thought that you are reffering to the resting foot (saying that it should never loose contact with the tyre) :slight_smile:
Ok, so today another ww training :slight_smile:

Hows it going?

its harder to learn on trials unicycles ?

all my freestylers friends can do it and i still stucked on 1foot ww :frowning:

Is it easier to ww one footed or two?
I tried for the first time at wwing today. I watched a tutorial (thanks sp4rky-m4rky, it’s ace!) but I think the main problem was that it was raining when I weas trying! I just couldn’t wait. I’m presuming that it will be a lot easier when my tyre’s not wet?!

That really depends on what you’ve done and practiced before. At first, for me, one foot wheel walking was easier because I was used to one foot riding. However, I’m much better at just ww rather than 1 foot ww because I practice that one more. I don’t have too many issues with ww with one foot but 2 feet comes easier.

wheel walking and water don’t mix. wet feet, wet tire, wet pedals, are awful and that’s when you get yourself in to trouble. keep at it but I would recommend that you stick with doing it while everything is dry.

Yeah, I think the dry is best!
I can’t ride one footed yet, so I’m pretty much at square one. I have never tried either ww or other no footed style tricks. The only thing I got close to was 180 unispins.
I’m annoyed now cus it’s wet outside and now it’s gone dark. I wanna go ride!
