What about a treadmill? The jackass guys road a BMX bike on a treadmill
and it looked awesome... I don't have acess to a treadmill, but would
love to try...

riding a uni on bike rollers wont work unless you have something to hold
on to. There is nothing to stop you from falling forwards or backwards
on rollers. The effort you put in for pedalling corrections (pedalling
faster to keep from falling forward) wont work therefore you will just
fall on your face or but.

There are several threads about it if you search "rollers". Here is one
that JerryG started quite a while ago. I think he managed some short
rides eventually. I was only able to do a few seconds by holding onto a
door frame to start, but I didn't really try very hard.

Well that is unless you can add a bit of friction to the rollers which
you generally can.

I think the issue is not one of friction but one of the wheel being
stationary. While riding normally you pedal faster or slower to move the
wheel under you. If it is locked in place by a roller all of your
balance would have to come from corrective leans.

I think if you were able to make minor corrections side to side then it
would be possible (but very difficult). The forwards and backwards
balance would possibly be more like riding a coker - staying on top of
the uni rather than keeping it under you.

Initially I thought you were right, Obie, as on a roller you cannot
put the wheel back under you, in the forward/backward direction.
However, thinking a bit more leads me to conclude that Andrew has a
point. If you tend to fall of at the front, you can push yourself back
by leaning harder on the front pedal. I don't even think you need
friction in your roller for that, just some inertia so that the front
pedal that you push against, doesn't give way immediately.
