How to accelerate on a BC wheel...

[Adam Brooking]

Hey hey! I was wondering, aside from going down a hill, or pushing the wheel along with your hands, or using 2 ski sticks....
Is it possible to accelerate on a BC wheel?

I've been trying to do it by making short turns left and right, and pushing on my legs every turn, but no luck so far (I mostly just fall off, or slow down).
But, I meen, it SHOULD be possible, people do it when rollerblading on 1 wheel... Has anyone in history ever managed?

Merci!!! (btw if you come to Brussels, tell me!!!, I love to bc with new people)

the force due to gravity, like the Earth pulling the Moon towards itself

that's brilliant!! I've managed too, but i can't go verry fast yet, so far it's been more energy efficient to push the wheel along with my hands, but one day we shal be able to accelerate in one fluid motion and we will be like gods!!
