can't really do anything on it but ride...
looks super heavy and cool though.

Have you seen Brian MacKenzie's 40mm cranks on his Coker? It's
basically a BC Wheel you can control the speed on...

From what i can see, when you do ride it. I see 2 problems
1. Your weight may cause the pedals or where you put your feet to
bend/corrode or break
2. The steel framing or what the material is on the BC, will snap under
pressure or will touch your tire causing the tire to get scratched and
go bold.

Besides that, It looks pretty heavy and doesn't look very manoeuvrable.

If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
again. You will never fail.

With 40mm cranks its still gonna be pretty hard to control speed
without a brake.lol

I think the hub is a 3/8" and I don't see how you'll brake. But I guess
you get points for originality.

Cool idea🙂
Suggested modifications:
Stamp the inside of the aluminum as well and get it hardened for
increased strength.
Redrill the hole one inch lower or cut off the footrests and weld back
on an inch or two higher for more turning clearance, or rebend to get
them higher.

that would be great for going fast on a long, fairly straight, smooth
path, and looks like a lot of fun. If you are just playing on a hill,
then weight shouldn't make a big difference. Right on for building it
though, the knee brace thing is a good idea, even if it demolishes all
chances of speed control🙂 Round the corners on your footplates and
your clearance problem will be helped out.

That looks like fun, but turning and braking would be tough. You
wouldn't get big burned on your leg from the tire though... You could
use it on long gradual straight hills.

I think you should go on long distance BC tours with that thing.
