I'm planning on entering the Gliding and Coasting competitions when I go
to unicon and I've decided that today will be a day to just train them.
Here are some questions I have about the event.
I'm wondering how much of an incline there usually is for the gliding?
Are you aloud to push at all like one foot wheel walking when you
glide?
Is it better to go all out as fast as possible or does slow and steady
usually win?
For coasting are there any tips or things I should know that I might
not normally do when I'm coasting?
I'm picking up some new shoes soon so I'm hoping to finish eating
through the ones I have then pick up two new pairs for gliding one for
training and then one for the competition, anything I should look for
in a good gliding shoe?
Any tricks like putting something on my shoe so it doesn't die as
fast?
For the gliding should I remove my cranks? I can do a running mount
into gliding so I don't NEED them but I can usually get a bit faster if
I ride one footed first then go into gliding, so is it worth the loss in
speed?
Are there any turns in the track for either?
Ok hopefully that is all for now!
