  1. Hello,

    I was wondering what tricks you guys have cooked up for the BC wheel,
    and which ones you can actually do/land? I have been BCing like a mad
    man recently, I rarely ride my normal unis anymore. I also encourage
    everyone to at least try one if not buy one.

    Here are the tricks I can Do/Land (I am listing the ones I would think
    out of the ordinary):

    Kick up mount
    Tire grab
    Shifty
    No footer
    Jump Mount
    Unispin mount
    Pedaling

    Here are the tricks i am working on:

    Idle
    Hand Idle
    Tire Grab/No footer
    BCspin
    Pirrioute
    1 footing

    Tricks i have thought of but only wish i could do:

    360
    180 To backward riding
    Ride Down Stairs
    Hand rail grind

  2. wowww....you're pretty amazing. I REALLY wish I had a BC Wheel so I
    could try some of those. how in the WORLD do you do a no footer on a BC
    Wheel??? do you just jump off and like kick your legs out, then bring
    them back....? well. that's still quite amazing.

    one that I thought of that's not on your list, and I don't know how
    possible it would be although I know it would be terribly hard.... it'd
    be like a rolling unispin, only how you do it is you jump off the
    platforms and spin your body 180 degrees, then land on the platforms
    again and keep riding backwards. I'm quite sure it'd be possible, but I
    know it wouldn't be easy.

    That sounds to me like Evans' "180 To backward riding." Unless he meant
    to do a 180 without jumping off. In regular Freestyle language, a 180 is
    a unispin.

    I did not understand most of what Evan described. Could you spell out
    what those various tricks are?

    - Kick up mount - I get that one
    - Tire grab - While doing what?
    - Shifty - Wha'ts that?
    - No footer - What's that?
    - Jump Mount - Ouch!
    - Unispin mount - Cool.
    - Pedaling - ??

    - Idle - ???
    - Hand Idle - ????
    - Tire Grab/No footer
    - BCspin - Different from a regular spin?
    - Pirrioute - Only one "r". I understand that one.
    - 1 footing - Seen it, but only on a modified BC.

    My cool BC trick, which may be included in an upcoming video, is rolling
    into a spin, and rolling out backwards.

    And going uphill, with the aid of ski poles!

  4. Tire grab- Hopping up and grabing the tire, can be mixed with many
    things, off drops, up curbs, over stuff.

    Shifty- Really hard for me to explain, just jumping and turning your bc
    and lower body 50 or so degress then turning it back, can be mixed with
    stuff also

    No footer- jumping off the bc and landing back on, or grabing the tire
    and taking you feet off then puting them back on

    The jump mount, or at least the way i do it, it i walk at a normal pace,
    while walking, drop the bc, and on its second bounce jump on

    Idle- Iv been trying to find a way to do this, either just pivioting
    with your hips, and swinging it back and forth, or puting you hand on
    the tire and rocking it back and forth, or puting a foot on the tire and
    rocking it back and forth

    pedaling- bacicly like the skate mount, but if you slow down too much
    just take a foot off and give it a push

  5. Hey even

    Sound like your pulling off some cool tricks, I’d really like to see the
    no footer and the tire grab. Another trick you might want to try is a
    table top (while in the air angle the BC with your feet so the wheel is
    parallel to the ground).
    Trick I have landed
    - riding down stairs
    - shifty – 90o turn in the air and then another 90o turnso your facing
    forwards again
    - table top
    - big down slope ledge grind
    - 180 pivot with foot as an aid
    - 180 pivot with out foot
    - one foot riding

    Tricks I’m working on
    - shove it or BC spin AKA uni spin
    - foot plant shove it
    - foot plant platform flip AKA back flip
    - an elevator drop – starts by riding on the bottom of the platforms hop
    off the platforms and the platforms will fall right side up and you land
    on them right side up
    - rail grind – I haven’t found a non scary rail yet
    - 360’s

  6. Hey Jeff, The no footer is a pretty easy trick, i bet you could do it,
    Look at the picture you have on your "Trialers" section on spaced out,
    thats where i go the idea, like the pic you have, just land back on the
    plates.

  7. A body varial on a BC would be crazy cool.

    I don't know about how it is to ride one, but you should (if it's
    manouverable enough) do a skatepark. You could probably get quite a bit
    of speed up.

  11. I've been mostly working on ways to mount the B.C wheel.

    Tricks I can do;

    Jump mount
    270 BC spin jump mount

    Currently I'm not really working on anything just trying to get the
    consistancy down.

    One idea I have had is flipping the BC wheel over 360º while riding.
    I've yet to try but I think that it may be possible.

  13. I have been doing alot of skinny riding. I have been getting in to hops
    and tire grabs. i can pedal too. umm, yesterday i landed a body varial
    in the sand😄 I have done a little off road stuff. I can grind. 180s
    are really easy but i cant ride backwards, i can 180 pivot too but i
    have the same problem, i cant go backwards. I have been doing
    stillstands but they are really easy because i sort of cheat and push
    the tire against my leg( i can do 1 footed still stands too)😄

  18. I've seen it in a video too.

    I've been riding a BC for a couple months but not a whole lot and I'm
    still sorta working on riding it haha. I'll ride it and get it good in
    that session and then I won't ride for a while and I have to start over.
    I can skate mount, and hop three pallets. My hopping is fairly
    consistant and I can make any hop under 10"'s almost every time.

    Oh yeah I worked on like plate-grabs/grinds only a little but no luck.

    I hope to get long plates soon, and make mine a 2.5"/19" combo. How many
    of you guys are riding long?
