Last weekend at Bristol circus convention (UK) I saw and was involved
with some unusual BC wheel antics.
We had started off just trying to tow somone around the field on the BC
wheel whilst riding a uni which then became trying to push someone
uphill. Towing someone was fine until the ended up going faster than the
uni towing them as they don't have any of the braking effect of
pedalling. The push uphill was a lot harder than expected and resulted
in a number of falls and I also want to appologise to Roger for nearly
pushing him into a hole as me the other rider pushing rode either side
of it.
At this point things got a little silly when we decided that roger could
probably push better than me and as I can't BC we had to find somone
else to be pushed around. Trevor turned up and decided that as he had
shorts on and didn't want to get tyre burns on his legs that he would do
a handstand on the BC wheel and be pushed around.
I don't know if anyone got any photos although I hope they did. It is
something worth trying if you have someone crazy enough to try it and
who knows maybe there will be BC wheel handstands in the next big DVD.
If anyone got a good photo of it then can you let us have a look at
it.
