i did say bc _uni_. not just bc. that means it's supposed to have a
seat.

the pegs are above the axel so balancing on it is really hard bc style
and technically it is called coasting
what I do is put one foot on the peg and the other foot on the tyre and
GLIDE.

zfreak220 -
I am pretty sure if I was trying to build a BCuni I would be smart
enough to to put the plates/pegs below the axel
I think you guys are thinking it is a BCuni because their are 2 pegs.
their are 2 pegs because I put my left on the frame and my friend who's
frame it is uses his right

If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
again. You will never fail.

I wonder if it's possible to put magura brakes on a BC incase you have

Evan built one with a disk brake.

Is it home built/D.I.Y or did you order it? Cause in a way. It looks
cool but must be hard to ride. Unless it as simple as using one of
those step up treadmills.😄 😄

this looks more like a bc uni. a glider uni is a term used for a
unicycle used for gliding, like with your foot as a brake.

http://www.unicycling.com/brett/hsg.shtml

the same site you linked to sayed that "I glide a 24" Miyata with
cranks. The Miyata has a very responsive and light frame with a good
place to put your foot. *But this is not the optimum setup for
gliding.* I haven't experimented much, but I think a 26" would be best.
Cranks cause high speed oscillations (discussed in the how to section)
so they need to be removed for optimum perfomance. Also, a peg would be
affixed to the frame somewhere between the axle and the where the forks
join to create a high leavage foot rest. I'm not sure where the best
place to put a peg is but I believe the lower it is the better. Tires
and shoes are of utmost importance to gliding."

it sounds like torkerdx made preety close to what this guy says is the
optimum gliding machine
