  1. i have no experience in bc whatsoever. but. i do like designing new
    crazy things for bcers. basically my idea is downhill mbc. or mountain
    bc wheeling. now some of you will be saying "hey, thats been done
    before, i rode mine down a mountain last week". that alone isnt my
    idea. my idea is to attatch a brake to a bc. but wait theres more! i
    also proppose to make clip in plate(s) for bcs. with optional brace to
    keep one calf and lower leg perfectly upright. ie. stop it from grazing
    the tire hence making it easier to push and get up using the brake to
    stop the uni running away from you when mounting or on steep slopes.🙂
    whadda you think. prototype coming soon....

  2. well evan already has a disc brake bc.

    and putting clips on a bc would be like making a bomb, then taping
    yourself to it.

  5. I think it would look extremely cool if it was done, but it would be
    extremely hard. You would need a brake to slow down but once you let go
    of the brake the BC would slip out in front of you.

  6. Hahahahahaha, That wheel made a great addition to my DJ bike. The brake
    doesnt work so well unless you have an arm going up and behind one of
    your legs, this way you can lean back into it. The best way to do it is
    get a 24" bc '(Hint hint)' (http://tinyurl.com/3abems) and get a peice
    of a car tire, strap it to your leg and use that for your brake. Its a
    much better feel to slow with your leg than with your hand on a brake.
