i want to build a recumbent unicycle...

[unirox13]

...but i have absolutely no idea how to begin doing so. so my question
is; has anyone on here ever built one, if so how did you go about it? i
have an old bmx bike frame that i can weld and cut to fit my desires, i
just need to know what to add/take away in order to make a functioning
recumbent uni. i searched but couldn't find any real help. so any tips
would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot
Max

A good recumbent has a seat you can lean back on. The one in the video
looks a little precarious, but maybe just because the guy was new at
riding it. However it looks like the seat is about to pop out from
under him, which is why he's riding so carefully. How about something
like this?

Needed design improvement on his is a chain guard. Looks like chain
stays on the bottom and seat stays up the back, though I don't remember
if it was more modified than a road bike frame or not. It was fun
trying it out! Comfortable, but I don't think it would be practical as
a replacement for a Coker or something. I wouldn't want to ride it real
fast.
