  1. I just finished my BC, I put a bar over the top like that one guy did,
    for leg protection and grabbing. I put grip tape on the plates because
    the aluminium is so slippery. I also put the bar across the top for
    jumping. It's really hard but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

    sorry but not the coolest bc ever. pretty sure spencers are cooler.
    with just the one bar across the top it seems like your leg would still
    be able to hit.

  11. I would guess you guys havent bc wheeled before? You -need- to be able
    to rub, otherwise you will fall so often and so many tricks would be
    harder than they already are if you couldnt rub, its used for turning,
    fakie, slowing, balance.

  12. I like it actually, it's a out of the box type style which makes it
    different and unique. So good work there austingillespie. 😄 😄

  14. is it supposed to be aesthetically pleasing or functional? IMHO it's
    pretty freaking ugly and it looks too dangerous to be functional.

    edit: and even though evan didn't really use it, his mountain BC wheel
    was the coolest BC ever.

  15. I think it's more avant garde, and people don't like it because they
    can't understand it

    nobody knows what happened to that boy after that.-Nutcracker

    i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the
    biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed
    the plane on the earth surface. he was the one who killed the
    dinosaurs. -ivan
