HA! it CAN be ridden!

abbabibble · 2005-11-04, 12:40 AM

to all of you who said "the geometry of my newly-created SMD one wheeled contraption makes it impossible to ride...":

I.
Rode.
It.

for a record of ten feet. ok, so my abs are burning like crazy from the half hour of practice, but this proves that it can be ridden, and with practice, i should be able to ride it further distances.
so i told you so. pictures are coming soon.
P.s: if you don't know what my smd is: here:

mike_echter · 2005-11-04, 12:48 AM

one question... where do you put your feet?

lleberg · 2005-11-04, 12:50 AM

How do you ride it?
Coasting down hills?

Put some cranks on it!

musketman · 2005-11-04, 12:51 AM

woa thats crazy! can you put up a vid of you riding it? And by the way how do you ride it? Do you just have to grab brake and kind of coast with it?

briguymaine · 2005-11-04, 01:01 AM

wow!! ten feet riding a porta potty, that's unbelieveable! I can only hang on for maybe 3 feet, wow.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. That is a cool contraption, but like everyone else asked, where do you put your feet, how does it work?

Dont be silly, he has his feet on the ground, and pushes. Like a scooter.

siafirede · 2005-11-04, 01:07 AM

Or maybe he just keeps them up and extended? I definitely need to see a video of this.

Catboy · 2005-11-04, 01:10 AM

you only push to start off to get some momentum. then you coast for a bit. i it's like riding a BC with handlebars.

(PSSST! What Catboy was saying was a GEWD thing... )

hell-on-wheel · 2005-11-04, 03:00 AM

Pretty cool, I think pegs would complete it. So what does SMD stand for?

forrestunifreak · 2005-11-04, 03:01 AM

Yup!
You should really put pegs on it. That would make it easier, better, more fun, and more practical. Then I might buy one.

Maybe not.

It was a good attempt, but I'll bet it never catches on.

Just do what Unibiker did. Or slap some pegs on your invention there and try again.
