  1. So I built myself a pegged bc wheel and I tried to ride it around my
    room a little and I was wondering how much harder it is to ride a
    pegged bc compared to a normal one and if anyone had any tips?

  2. 1. Pegs are a hell of alot harder to learn on than plates.
    2. It's easier to ride a BC going moderately fast, so go to somewhere
    with a very slight hill and use something to push off of a few times to
    get the hang of riding, then learn to mount, your room wont cut it...

  3. dont search, if you want to learn to ride a bc wheel, get one, cause
    pegs are impossible.
    thats all you need to know

  4. Pegs make it more challenging, whoo impossible wheels, much better than
    Bc's :P

  6. My BC had pegs for almost 20 years before Zack Baldwin made me some
    upgrades. These weren't BMX axle pegs (a rotating waste of time), they
    were originally a pair of moped foot pegs. They hung a couple of inches
    below the axle and worked fine. More important is the quality of your
    bearings. That's the big difference I noticed between my old wheel and
    newer ones. They roll much smoother, and that makes a big difference!

    an hour of practice.

  8. Pegs are very possible. I can ride a BC with pegs consistently on
    flat/slightly sloped ground without toooo much trouble. Platforms on
    the other hand are much easier. I cant really imagine doing many of the
    things I do on platforms on pegs.

    Skateboard mounts would be very tricky, big hills would be scary and
    hops near impossible. All in all platforms will give you all the same
    fun and challenge for a bit less bother, and with more possibilities
    for expanding beyond just rolling along.
