it'd be next to impossible to push, leaving you with no way to propel yourself besides going down a hill. I'd probably use it as a balance trainer thing.

One wheeled board? Interesting...could be fun. You would need some crazy balance skills and a hill. Or with footstraps, you might be able to generate some motion on flatland.

Remove the front wheel of this Grassboard (below) and you have a prototype 16" one-wheeler. It would be cool to try with a 12" bike wheel maybe even something smaller.

Hung,
I know the one your talking about. It was a homemade set-up by a guy named "Tox". He was originally from Chicago, and rode a bicycle out to the west coast for the 1999 Dirtboarding Championships. In '99 his first set-up had only one wheel. He had a hard time on the course, but entered the Big Air comp (3 consecutive jumps) and did pretty good. In 2000 at the Nationals is when he had the 3 wheel in-line mountainboard. Design and construction of his boards were unique and impressive. If I get time, I'll try to find some old photos.

You found it alright! Thats Tox, and I don't know where to look for a photo of his one wheel mountainboard. If I come across it, I'll let you know.

My suggestion? Join the circus! You'll meet cool peeps, learn new tricks on a one wheeled board, and your parents can finally turn the basement in to that den they've always wanted.
