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.

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.

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.

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