    You liar!

    Either your 17 (and weigh more than 110lbs) or your 110lbs (and not
    17).😉
    There are some used BC plates being sold in the Trading post under
    "smaller, garage sale". Slap those on to any 14mm axle wheel laying
    around.

    I don't get it. 😕
    Why can't Mr Brick weigh 110lbs and be 17 years old?

    time...

    "impossible" wheel is a bad name for it anyway, since it's not actually
    impossible to ride.

    I propose two new names:

    Improbable Wheel and Inconceivable Wheel.

    Although they aren't thaaaat difficult to learn, it just takes a few
    hours of frustration, painful falls, and irratated ankles.

    The 14mm axle part is what will keep it from breaking soon.

    As for names, how about "Uni Skateboard?" It's kind of like that...

    Though there isn't much of a board. I'd suggest uniskate but that
    doesn't quite roll off your tongue easy enough. Skuni!

    EDIT: On second thought, whats wrong with B.C. Wheel?

    I still call mine both an impossible wheel and a bc wheel. The fact
    that I can ride something that has "impossible" in the name is pretty
    cool, but destroys the meaning of the word, hence the need of
    "improbable". Most people seem to be calling them BC wheels nowadays
    though.

    Uniskate isn't bad either. Yes it's not very board-like, but back in the
    80s we just had pegs. Compared to that, today's BCs are like
    double-skateboards. If it were the old design it could be called a Peg
    Wheel.

    What's wrong with B.C.? I think for Unicycle.com it may be a worry of
    copyright infringement or similar. If we call it B.C. to reference the
    comic strip, Jonny Hart's heirs might have a problem with that, though
    in the past he has given the unicycling world informal nods for
    referencing his characters. I'm fine with B.C.

    Well to keep with current trends we should be politically correct and
    call it the B.C.E. wheel. 🙄
