BC platform

oops i'm replying to myself....

anyways i just realized that without a seat in the way, a backflip
would be possible on a BC wheel, which would be totally nuts.

we should set up a fund that goes to the first person to get this on
video, because it would totally be worth $.

It's not the seat that gets in the way of doing a backflip it's the lack
of speed.

il try it, haha.

seems possible, but there are some things that are needed first:

#1: a big ass ramp

#2: a total sence of insanity

#3: a want to die

No, you don't need a ramp. Some poeple can just do a standing backflip
pretty easily, so -theoretically- it should be possible to do one at
low speed on a bc wheel.

On a more serious note, be carefull about trying stupid things, it
would be really bad if you got hurt trying something insane on a bc
wheel, because then when people asked "how did you get hurt?" and you
told them, then they would probably think you deserved it. 🙂

Bad idea. I am one of those people who can do a standing back tuck
pretty easily. However, ask me to do it with bulky/heavy shoes on and
I will refuse. You would be amazed at how much your rotation is slowed
by trying to whip a little extra weight around.

With a ramp, the rotation may be feasible, but the problem will come
with landing. Your body will want to continue rotating and on the BC
there is very little you can do to stop that. Find a BMX rider who can
do a back flip, and ask what the hardest part is and they will say
landing. They have two wheels, a seat and handlebars.

evan byrne(that's his SN too) makes some pretty sick plates... give him
a PM, he's selling them for 40 now, i believe...
and i think the only other option would be to call up Darren Bedford as
mentioned already. He's a nice guy, and his plates are good.
