  2. i have never riden one so this is just speculation but i think it would
    be much easyer to ride if you had solid plates to put your feet on
    instead of petals. the extra hinge in the petals would make it very
    dificult to keep it under you as you would not be able to shift your
    weight to the front or back of your foot. BC is something that i would
    like to try someday but have never gotten around to welding up some
    plates.

    good luck

  3. Buy some proper plates, Its worth the money. They way you have pedals
    are your foot platform is going to make it much harder to ride because
    your feet can tilt back and forth, and probably slip off. A new wheel
    wouldnt be bad either, people say 3/8ths axles bend with just general
    riding. Btw bc wheels don't have seats.

  5. my dad was wondering if anyone knew where we could get a 1/2 inch axle,
    is tht the rite size? and if do you know where?

    Then just making the things you stand on, should they be able to move
    from eachother, or stuck together, and should i make like 3 holes in it
    like the pictures, anyone have the dimentions of the thing you stand on
    lol, cant think of the word platform?

    kk it would just be nice, because getting into BC, i think itll be a
    lot of fun, ive ridden mine 50 meters, but it is almost impossible to
    ride, plus the axle on it is bent.

  7. Would a 14 inch wheel work for a Bc? My dad has a 3quarter axle on it.
    Then we could make the plates for it tomarrow or the next day.

    Would tht work?
