    watch a bc video and try to start out like they do...

    jumping is jumping, just try it
    as for slowing down idk, let the tire burn the [censored] out of your leg..
    to go faster ride the bc wheel down a hill...its all about momentum..
    and for turning just try it too..
    all you have to do is practice..but before u can turn or jump, u must
    be able to ride your bc wheel first..

    Mine used to be 9" long and we cut them in the time we were filming for
    that because they kept twisting on me and it got annoying. Now they are
    around 4-5" long, I don't remember exactly.
    For slowing, lean the wheel into your leg. Get an ace bandage or some
    kind of protection or you will tear up your leg.

    Haha, that would be very uncomfortable for high hops. Probably get some
    things ripped off by the spinning tire when you tuck it up.

    Those are -horrible- for bc. They only have 180 degree protection and
    bc often rubs the back of your leg. Even the front section isn't strong
    enough to withstand bc, it get shreded in no time.
