Walking the Wheel

Wake up,

It certainly has been quiet the last two weeks!

Does anyone have some good tips for learning to Walk the Wheel,i.e. feet
directly on the tire?

I haven’t spent much time with this trick, but thought I would seek some
net advice.

I haven’t learnt this trick myself, but I’ve seen people using a walking stick
to balance themselves. This is probably not as good as parallel bars, but is
slightly more portable. I plan to use this method when I do learn the trick,
when I get bored one afternoon (I wish).

    I don't know how good a tip this is, since I haven't managed to go more
    than 10 feet or so, but I've been learning with support from the
    parallel metal bars of the cafeteria entrance maze at a local junior
    high, on weekends, of course. Just moving back and forth in the maze
    didn't help much; "launching" myself from the end, after a buildup, gave
    a noticeable improvement.
