When I first saw it I thought the middle of the wheel was filled in with
transparent polythene or something, so it would act like a sail and be
ridden like a windsurfer. In the video though he looks to be just
riding it like a giant BC wheel/skateboard thing.

I never thought I would see a more pointless mode of transport than a BC
wheel.

Looks like I thought wrong!

It doesn't look like you can ride it very far.

Rock on!

The clip is very boring. I wish they took it down some stairs or
something, if they say it's an extreme sport.
The whole thing seems kind of like a big waste of time and money.

It's a giant BC wheel, but having the weight so far below the center of
the whell will seriousouly help balance.

Well, then they must have researched it before making a 9-minute long
clip, where all they do is ride around, getting no farther than 10
metres.

It's like ride one of those of those windsurfers, Except for the road,
cause of the way they're leaning. Looks like a waste of money. But each

It looks like it's being ridden by inventors, not by someone who's
really tried pulling out the stops. From the clips you can get some
idea of the way it acts..

Wasn't impressed with the tubing they used, it looked like they were
getting some flex on that bow spar there on some of the maneuvers.
Better to put connecting rods around the ends of each radial, under
tension pulling each tip toward the wheel so to reduce flex. It's not
clear that that one, which seems to be a prototype of sorts, is really
built to the standards of a stunt rider, possibly because not enough
have been used to work out the kinks.

The swing of it sort've implies that a tricker might be able to get
their body to flip on the inside of the wheel though, and do some sort
of inversion while rolling, which would likely impart some sort of spin
to the wheel. Tricks would likely resemble rolling plate behavior more
than hopping and gapping. The addition of a disc brake would open up a
number of tricks i'm sure. Some of the more extreme tricks might need
them to raise the board a bit to avoid strike. It looks like the design
would be pretty easy to motorize too.
