Mounting a bc/impossible wheel

I've been looking all over the web and newsgroup about impossible wheels
and have a question about mounts. So far I've read that people will use
handrails, tow-ers, ski poles, and running jump mounts.

The most obvious kind of mount seems to be missing- placing one foot on
a pedal, pushing off with the other foot, and quickly placing the
pushing foot on the pedal. I would guess that this mount is being
omitted deliberately- I'm having trouble believing that using this mount
has never occurred to anyone trying one of these wheels, so I'm
wondering if that mount's much worse than all the aforementioned mounts?

the BC wheel is the one where the pedals are basically just the axle.

Standing only on one would cause the wheel to tip over.

I guess it could be done, however it would take split second timing.

What I want to see is this:

Someone standing in place (but can rotate freely)

Holding onto a rope (long, but near the end) and having the guy on the
BC holdiing the other.

As the stander spins, he would let more and more rope out, causing the
BC'r to ride in bigger and bigger circles.

The the BC'r would let go of the rope and go sailing.

That would be really neat!

mounting a B.C. wheel, the easiest way is to roll it, and jump on. I
have done it the way you were talking about, but it's very hard to do.
Another way is to mount into hand wheel walk, but that's also very
hard.

thats about it.

I prefer calling it a B.C. Wheel since it's not impossible.

It's not B.C. either.

What does B.C. stand for?

He must be good. He makes it look so easy! And he's very much like my
Fred Flintstone imagination.
