maybe...you would sit down, and clip it onto your feet, then do a kip
up and land on the wheel to start going.

Easy. Clip into one, push it like a skateboard, and then wiggle your
foot into the second one. If you can ride a BC one footed or close, you
could do it.

It wouldn't work because on clipless peddles you have to put your weight
on the balls of your feet, on a BC that would put your weight too far
back

Il try it, I have no clue how ot get those little clipys though, and how
they work, dont you need clipless shoes? How aobut just toe cages?
seems like a moot point with the bolts there. I ride with the balls of
my feet on the plates, sometimes even further back than that, so it
wouldn tbe any problem.

make a platform with the middle like the Egg Beater style clip-less
pedals (or a platform around a pair of EB's).....Evan, you can do this!

This reminds me of my skis.......My skis that didnt come off.......my
skis that split my leg......

Seems like suiside to me, because unles those htings come off easy you
could try to bail and just break your arms catching your fall, most of
my dismounts(im getting better) are kinda jumps off.

Why not try power grip style mounts. They are easy to make and test. I
think would work as they hold the foot closer to the ankle and are easy
to get in and out of. Would also help with not knocking your ankle.

Why not try some 'sky'
(http://www.getboards.com/land/freeboards/skyhooks.html) 'hooks'
(http://shop.store.yahoo.com/longskate/skatacexskyh.html)? Back in my
skate-rat years, I put these on my board to make it look like I could
actually get air, and then I could pull off 180s, 360s, grinds, etc.
with ease.

Nah, you couldnt, i can keep the bc on my feet easy, its all about
compression, tuck, and leg strength.
