Well, After about 2 hours practice I've learned to mount(skateboard style) and to ride pretty consistently. I think my record is somewhere around 500feet.
Unfortunately, I have to work till 6 today, so I wont get any more riding in today, but I have all of tomorrow off, so I'll be sure to learn to hop ASAP.
I was riding for about 5 minutes earlier and the wheel landed about 50 feet in front of me, and some jackass drove straight at it(by now it had fully stopped a good 50 feet in front of him) and ran over the BC. He didn't stop until I stood infront of his car and made him.
I asked if his truck was ok, out of kindness and he just replied with a "Well, your wheel sure as hell isnt ok" and drove off.
The truck should be expecting a flat tire from a nail or two within a week.

Wow, he sounds like a jerk! And what a big bad bummer!
If I were you I would SO tell his mommy...

Well, you were much nicer than I would have been if he had run over my wheel. That's shocking, how can people do that! I guess he's lucky it's you and not me then. Awesome video clip though! You picked it up quite well, I have been trying to ride, I have the whole jump onto it thing pretty sussed out now. Well done 🙂

How the heck did he run it over?!?!?!!???!!? When you said he did I figured that you lived in one of those extremely populated neighborhoods with 20 foot wide roads. But after seeing your video... HOLY [censored]!!!! your road is 50 feet wide with nothing near anything! how could he not dodge your wheel? *-!-?-!-?-?-!-?-!-?-!-?-!-?-!-?-!-?-!-!-!-?-!-?-!-?-!-?-!-?-!-*-
