This might sound a bit metaphysical, but it helps me, I'm learning to
wheel walk right now and I feel like a complete beginner all of a
sudden:
Breath slowly. Visualize the action (including keeping the wheel going
round and round. I know, it does sometimes get stuck on part of a
revolution), eyes ahead and level, feel your center and keep the uni
underneath it.
You've probably seen a lot of the hopping and thrashing videos on the
forum, put that aside for now and think smooooooth. Focus. Balance.
This might sound contrary to much of what it said here, too. I learned
to idle before riding. Just back and forth with one hand lightly on a
fence, then letting go. Once I did that I practiced one rev forwards
one rev back. Gradually less clinging on the fence then I was off,
wondering what I should do when I got to the end of the driveway!!
Don't worry about your seat getting messed up. Better it than you,
eh!!
You're doing well.
