BC Wheel

Well, keep in mind that the people on uni.tv are good at it will
probably take a year to get to there skill level.

I don't mind practice. It took me about 5 days to learn to ride a uni
50m. That's what most people don't realize, learning to ride a uni is
about as hard as learning to ride a bike. It takes a few days, but once
you learn it's easy. Does the same apply to BC wheeling? I don't mind
practicing a few weeks before I get it, but I don't want it to be
something that I make very little progress and get frustrated easily.

Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
doubt.

Don't worry about looking like a dork for diff color cranks. You ride a
uni, lol.

Learning to ride a BC is way easier than learning to ride a unicycle in
my opinion. You just need a hill and a couple hours of practice. As
for which to buy, get whatever fits your budget.

yeah, when you already uni, BC is comparatively a piece of cake.
however, you MUST wear shin guards, or at least a pair of tall socks.
i tried without them at first and burned my legs so baaaaaad. it stayed
red for a week.

BCing looks schweet. Im so getting a Bedford BC when I get my paycheque
and when the new bedford plates that are lower come out. Bedford makes
just about the best BCs there are. Evan Byrne also makes plates, but
you would need to make your own wheel. There are a few other sources
for BCs, but I recomend bedford. I have ridden them (well, not for
long, or very far) before and they are solid.

Lets wait for Spencer to come in and promote Bedford too 😄

Haha. Yeah, Bedfords are really good.

An ace bandage around your leg works really well for BCing because it
saves your pants/shin guards/ leg from getting torn up by the tire. Ace
bandages are cheap so it doesn't matter when they get torn up. I used
to just stock up and buy a bunch of them for $1 each.

How high/far can you hop on a uni as compared to on your trials bike?

Allright, I think I am probably going to buy a Bedford, but which one
should I get? And what is the difference between the basic 20" and the
20" with Pro Platforms, the 20" Street with Pro Platforms, and the
Trials with Pro Platforms? what is the limits of all of them?
Would the inavailability of a skatepark nearby be a problem?
Thanks!

My bro rides trials bikes. He's been the alberta champion for three
years now. I will make a joint movie with him as soon as I have the
proper gear.

You can hop 36'' to rubber, or to pedal?

Heh, I so threadjacked this thread.

Anyway, the Bedford PROs are longer, which makes them better. You want
the PROs. Trust me. lol

Also, the basic has a non sealed hub and maybe a weaker rim. The other
has a sealed hub.

your friend could buy plates from unidennis, and get a wheelset from a
bike shop.
