BC/Impossible wheel

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

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.

Just to clarify, I know how to ride very well already, I just snapped
one impossible wheels axle and had to take my other one apart to put
the wheel back on the scooter I had taken it from. I would just like
help finding a nice wheelset without having to buy two wheels/ two rims
etc. or put the rim together myself. And sorry for the profanity, it
was disrespectful on my part.
heres my old one made from baby carrier wheel and angle brackets:

btw how about call it a Freewheel?

yeah, that's an old wheel

Don't sweat the language, I really didn't notice. Freewheel sounds
good for a name, but I think "BC" is just perfect and standard. Just
don't call it impossible!

So I've noticed (a long time ago) that when you approach very fast
speeds, the wheel starts to wobble and you eventually lose control. Are
there any good techniques to control your speed or eliminate the wobble
effect? If I could do that, then I could go faster and ride longer
without the wobble. BC isn't very hard IMO, and the ultimate wheel
seems to be the most difficult to ride. I consider myself to be a good
BC rider, but I'd like to get better so let's hear some skills and
techniques!!

That is one ugly set-up you've got there. Why not go on danscomp and
buy a 25$ rim and a tempered 14mm axle? Better yet spend 50 and get a
hazzard lite rim and a 14mm axle.

I couldn't find a proper thread to post my new video, so I'll just add
it here since we're discussing names for the BC WHEEL, and I elect to
keep it that way.
