You can't make a bc out of a uni wheel. The axle doesn't spin.

little hope.

I would say EB Plates are best for learning.

I slide off of the flange style platform plates very easily even now
that I can ride.

I dont think that would work at all because it would put too much
lateral force on the bearings.
