BC Fever

[fogoal]

go to unicycle,com to get your bc wheels

[tiregie]

blue primo wall tires...wow those bring me back to me early riding days.

[losersseekhelp]

how do i do it? I just do. lol

[asallah151192]

Hey,

i'm trying to learn to do bc wheel but can't find anyone near me. Where did you bough yours?

i'm already unycicling and doing giraffe but the «impossible» wheel seems pretty fun! :)

[joejumps4fun]

@asallah151192 Almost anyone who learns BC learns by themselves. It's the rarest of all the unicycles. Welcome to the club :D

[thetajeff]

That's great man. I raised in Va Bch. Seems like I'm the only one here in Clearwater, FL that rides. I wanna start a club. Your video is inspiring. I want to get more types of wheels as my skills improve. Keep in touch, Jeff

[thetajeff]

great vid... are you in newport news?

[joejumps4fun]

@thetajeff No, Stafford, VA, but I've ridden my 36" uni at VA Beach before...

[The12Dj34]

??why have a bc wheel when u can get a unicycle ride and coast on it and u can ride up hill???? but nice video

[joejumps4fun]

@The12Dj34 Because BC is just as fun as unicycle gliding, both which I can do. BC is a little more free & challenging, though, plus you don't burn a hole in your shoe.

[HoLyMC]

is that tire the primo the wall?

[joejumps4fun]

@HoLyMC yes

[HoLyMC]

@joejumps4fun kool.. i have it on my bmx

[ThrowDownArtists]

is the tire supposed to be flat?

[contacttom2006]

Alot of the gym dandies in Scarborough Maine can do all of these things. There are about 80 6 ft unicyclists in the group. And probably 40 of them can do this stuff.

[joejumps4fun]

@contacttom2006 Wow! I would never have thought that there were that many unicyclists in Maine that could ride the BC Wheel, let alone giraffe unis. BC wheel is kind of a rare novelty. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever travel there. I love to meet others that can ride.

[dan52484]

Dude, what band was that at the end? It sounded like he is legend?! (the third song that you only played about 45 seconds of...

[joejumps4fun]

@dan52484 All the music on here is HIL, "Cannonball Hands" is the name of the last song I think.

[nickolauski]

i made one, it only cost me about 30 cents. that was for bolts to connect two plates. this thing is SOOOOOOOOOO hard to ride!!!!!!!!!!

[GrandmasMan]

TIGHTEN UR BOLTS the plates shouldn't move independently

[joejumps4fun]

@GrandmasMan my plated don't move independently--my bolts are tight.

[GrandmasMan]

@joejumps4fun at 0:33 ur plates shouldn't be all crooked (and I doubt u tighten them like that so they must be loose) and I can easily see one plate move around w/o the other at 0:42, and especially at 1:25 so don't tell me they're tight cause they're not bud. Ur gonna wreck your axle w/ unlubricated metal parts grinding against each other.

[joejumps4fun]

@GrandmasMan Um...yeah when I ride my plates are tight but SOMETIMES they come loose and I tighten them up again, so don't jump on my dick about it, okay?

[RolAlatorre]

where can i get one of those in san antonio?

[joejumps4fun]

@RolAlatorre unicycle dot com. You from San Antonio? I may be going there next year for a week or two...perhaps we'll go unicycling :D

[jollyplaydoh]

haha "its just practice really" thats exactly what i say when people ask me

[jollyplaydoh]

haha "its just practice really" thats exactly what i ay when people ask me

[jackerx5]

too many wheels to handle!!!!!!

[csRocker]

can i use my front wheel of my bmx as one of these?

with the pegs on it

[joejumps4fun]

@csRocker You might want to get the footplates--they're on unicycle dot com for about $40. Pegs will make it 10x more difficult to learn because the weight is center with the axle/hub. Using the footplates will drop your CoG below the hub and make it easier to learn/ride.  Trust me.

[spraypainters4mud]

i cant even turn on my unicycle and you can do that thats insane

[joejumps4fun]

@spraypainters4mud those turns will come eventually--just keep practicing!! It's worth it in the end :)

[wimperke]

Sick

you're so crazy to do a night session with it :O

[mrkoi1]

i like ur shoes

[mrkoi1]

i like ur shoes

[littlefrank90]

wooow, amazing balance! i learnt to ride a unicycle in about 5 days, how long does it take to learn that?? XD do i have to learn to ride the ultimate wheel first?

[joejumps4fun]

The BC wheel is easy as long as you practice. It took me about a week to learn to ride a uni but 3 months just to get comfortable mounting and riding the BC with 100% precision and confidence. Don't worry about learning the UW. If you want to learn BC, just go for it and don't give up. UW sucks because they're hard to ride and they hurt your legs...BC is more fun IMHO. Just find a nice slope and learn how to balance all over again. It's loads of fun if you like a challenge.

[m0t0fr3ak]

btw..this music is a real pain in the ass...

[joejumps4fun]

He is Legend is classy post-hardcore dude. If you don't like it, mute it.

[imabandgeek87]

can anyone read his license plate number? almost looks likes "you tube"

[joejumps4fun]

1:29 finish watching the video and you'll see my license plate is YOUTUBE

[m0t0fr3ak]

YOUTUBE freaks=P

[nbarocker]

cool blue wheel

[BRNHUN]

gazdagéknál minden van? nemhogy megtanulna egyvalamivel normáisan!:D

[2ra0bid9]

dude virginia look nice i thought virginia looks poopish but its pretty and im like the bumper sticker... unicyclist are well blanced people lol haha

[joejumps4fun]

it only looks poopish when I'm not there

[17MasterVince17]

MAn i was wondering how much the non-seat wheal cost and maybe a unicycle a normal one wheel and a seat , thx to tell me dude and ur freacking good at this thing !! XD Great job!

[psbagumba]

The night shots were beautiful - but probably dangerous as hell.  But no more dangerous than BC wheeling I suppose.

[joejumps4fun]

Haha, thanks man!

[willmanhi1]

you could custom a wheel and get it build but a really good one and get brackets then put it on for LESS than the nimbus BC wheel lol!

[joejumps4fun]

This is a custom built BC wheel -- I built it!

[willmanhi1]

lol! thats cool it looks really difficult

[chimpman99]

I still find it funny how whenever us riders ride in teh street, EVERY ONE stares

[frollard]

I'm tempted to think theres a way to incorporate a brake, like in a toddlers bike - where backpedalling is your brake...

if you twist one foot pad more foreward, and the other backward, it slows you slightly..., then it just needs a segway computer and motor/batteries, and its a true bc wheel :D

[joejumps4fun]

No, then it's a true "AD" wheel! A real BC wheel relies on Balance and Control and gravity. :)

[frollard]

Awesome vid - I'd love that 36" (assumed) unicycle - I have a 24 now, and would love something for longer distances.

The impossible is something that will always astound me - no real way to speed up or slow down really freaks me out.

[joejumps4fun]

Yeah, it's a Nimbus Titan (36"). I have a 24, too. The 36er is great for long distance and speed! :)

The BC wheel is a lot of fun and a real challenge. Normally I get off when I approach my fastest speed (because I lose control) and I am running full speed at dismount. I'm putting up a new, recent BC video soon so stay tuned! :)

[con17448]

sweet i jusr did a 180 unispin on my uni but i want a BC wheel now :P

[joejumps4fun]

Awesome! I can't do 180 unispins (Yet!)

[GrandmasMan]

BC wheeling is tiring! My legs got really sore after practicing when I first got mine. Awesome video.

[joejumps4fun]

Thanks man. Yeah, stick with it. If you keep it up, you'll get to the same point I got to--where you can just hop on and glide without any need for leg armor! It's all about balance and CONTROL. Master these and you'll master the BC Wheel! There's only a select few of us in the world. Don't give up! :)

[LiveLoveUnicycle]

Cool video! I have those same 3 bumper stickers on my truck that you have on your car :D You should try some BC street now :)

[joejumps4fun]

Thanks livelove! :D What do you mean by BC street?

[unipyscho]

how long did it take you to learn to ride? ive had mine since march of 08 but i havent tried much cause it gets annoying

[joejumps4fun]

it took me 3 months to learn both mounting & maintaining balance. The rest is trial & error in perfecting your skill. stick with it! :)

[ih8myx2332]

WOW that was such a cool video?

[joejumps4fun]

WOW that was such a nice comment? =/

[mattomeo]

man thats awesome, u make it look good. i allso liked the cammra work, how u ride across in front then cut seen and ride across another way, it make your video awesome. and they are some pretty nice kids, standing out of your way like that.

[joejumps4fun]

Thank you for the nice comment! A few of those shots were different takes that I just cut and put together for a seamless "match-action" shot--it makes the video more fluid. One of the skaters was my cousin and he helped with some of the camera work but I don't know the other kids at the end of my video.

[mattomeo]

hahaha, yer thats what i was trying to say about the shots u just cut and put togther seamlessly, i just couldn't find the words. yer that guy manueled for ages

[redtail5]

sauceome! I want to lean how to so bad mabey my dad will teach me lol! once my dad was at a party with his dentist friends and he bet some one a few beers who could ride one longer but niether of them knew to other one could :)

you got some good skizelzeses on the wheel. sweet video!

[joejumps4fun]

Thank you very much! I put a lot of work into this video and into my riding abilities. I'm self taught. Do you ride the unicycle?

[redtail5]

Not yet, but i want to lean to (until i fall and loose my patients lol)

[MrPants591]

Simply amazing

thats awesome!

I never thought that was even possible to ride those things for so long, and downhill!

any chance you can give me the names of the songs too?

awesome vid

[joejumps4fun]

Thanks, MrPants! The names of the songs are at the end of my video in the credits. The songs are by the band "He Is Legend".

[MrPants591]

oh dang I didn't even notice that my bad lol

thanks tho

[drumprince91]

That is seriously awesome man!

I'm an avid unicyclist myself, and am trying to learn some tricks to make things more interesting. Mind if I ask where you got your equipment?

[101magic]

Nice Joey! You have definitely been practicing that bc wheel for a while! Oh and your wheel walking looks even more controlled than it did a few months ago! Keep up the good work!

[joejumps4fun]

Thanks Dylan! New youtube account?

[Rocketfire81]

Nice!

[joejumps4fun]

Thank you! :)
