  1. I broke my own long distance record on the BC wheel. My longest
    distance stands at 828.75 feet. Can anyone tell me what the longest
    distance ever recorded for a BC wheel ride is?? I'm dying to know what
    the distance is and who has done it!

    BCs are fun. Today I bought mine, still trying to tame the beast. What
    is the best way to learn? I'm using two stands for start and a alight

    Try a skate mount (the same way you mount a skateboard, pretty much) I
    have seen this b4 with friends and online people and it never ceases to
    amaze me. 😄

    What size is your BC Triball??

    yea a skate mount is a good idea. if you have trouble doing it, its
    done by starting off with barely any weight on the BC and just sort of
    hop along with the foot not on the BC while dragging the BC with you.
    as soon as you get enough speed put your other foot on. i hope that
    helped.

  9. I have a 20" BC. Nimbus plates, other is from an old BMX I think. Cost
    me 60€. Not that expensive for a fun "toy".

    I got 20 meters or so with it🙂 Tried a skate mount, figured out the
    weight balance, I just need to put my foot on the plate.
    Where do you have the "pin" from the axle? Is it above the middle of
    the foot, or 1/3 or 3/4? I have it on the middle, but it hurts so much
    after a day of training, because it rubs my ankle. But if I put me foot
    back for a bit, it feels weird

    Check out my video. It's not the best and it's old, but there's plenty
    of footage. I'm actually in the process of making a really awesome BC
    video right now. New camera angles (on my leg, shoe, street, etc...)
    and it's going to be really cool. But for now check out this video I
    made back in March. I'm much better at the BC now and I'm continually
    improving. It's so fun!! Another important thing is to find a nice
    stead hill, not too steep, and that eventually levels off to flat
    road.

    My video (new & better one coming soon):


    A lot has changed since this video so don't be too critical. I can now
    ride 1 leg on frame and wheel walk. Here's my first uni video:

    This video isn't mine but it is still pretty impressive:

    Like I've said, I am making a really awesome BC video...I'll post it
    here when it's done. Good luck learning! It's a challenge but lots of
    fun! (ps: wear leg armor or pants!!)

  15. I can't do it unless I'm actually skate-mounting. But if you've seen
    "Defect" then you can see that he actually just tilts the bc towards
    one side to maintain balance. It must be extremely hard. I can't do
    tricks on the BC. The only thing I've done was ride off a curb and
    keep going. I would like to learn to grind and go down ramps and 1/4
    pipes, but for me, BC is about distance and endurance (what I want to
    master).

    Can anyone tell me, is there an "official" BC WHEEL forum in here on
    unicyclist.com?

    Looks like his leg is touching the wheel, but actually it rides
    smooth😕
