downhill bcing

[gabetheunicycleman]

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....

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.

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.

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.
