pegged bc?

[ntappin]

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?

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...

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

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.

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.
