Hi,
I've always wanted to merge sideways wheelwalk into a street line, where you air onto something into the trick and air off out of the trick. I took some time a month back to work on a variation in my backyard. I thought of this trick while filming Defect, but never could get my balance to air out of it.
Normally I don't post stuff online, but I think this will help inspire some people to take this trick into more street lines.

I did the first part of that a while ago in a vid of mine (link in my sig).
The whole thing looks sweet. I really like that kind of stuff.

Nice! Yeah, the last part was what held me back from doing the whole line. It's hard to stop your momentum right near the edge of what you want to air out of.
I found it's easiest if you do a more choppy sideways wheel walk, where you sort of jump up and down instead of just holding all your weight on the seat. While it isn't quite as smooth it gives you more control over when you can stop.
The other issue is that you'll usually have the cranks off, so you can either spin the cranks right at the end of your sideways wheel walk or spin them as you are airing out.
