  2. um, it depends what you want. I'm making a trials BC, but I'm buying
    bedford plates. it depends what you want.

    if you want a trials BC just buy evan's for like $160.

    i can see how it is faster and smaller but not easier and it looks more
    boring then uni🙂

  6. Yeah, they're not even unicycles 🙄

    If you're serious about getting into BC wheeling, definately get a
    bedford. I would really like to try out an actual BC wheel, but I'm not
    willing to drop $200 at the moment.

    Maybe I'll find some good/strong way to make one.

    "Looks"...well maybe you should try it before you say that😉 It is
    completely different than unis. There is plently of stuff you can do on
    unis that you can't do on BCs but it goes the other way too. I like
    BCing because it has more potiential than unis at the moment. It is
    still so new that it can go in so many different directions. If Evan's
    disc brake bc works then BC muni will probably be more fun than on a
    uni since you can go way faster on downhills, then you have Bryan, who
    is doing huge airs out of ramps which isn't possible on a uni. The
    tricks might not look big and flashy to you now but once the sport
    evolves some more it will be even more awesome.

    Ok, I'm done now🙂

  9. I would try it but I don't want to buy one and I don't have supplies to
    make one, and I don't live near somebody who has one.

  10. isnt that a [censored]. i made one, its real dodge but it works!

    i suggest getting a BMX wheel and buying some plates for it. that would
    be the best, cheapest way. (maybe)
