In my research of different vehicles to use for the 100+Project I happened to come across the Magic Wheel. It seemed so closely related to skateboarding that I thought it would be easy enough to learn, and I had never seen one before, which made it even more desirable. The YouTube videos didn't help matters either, one showed a guy talking on a cellphone while eating an ice cream cone, how hard could it be?
Apparently the company that manufactures these went out of business so they are pretty rare. I found one on ebay for almost $400, way too much money if you ask me. I put the aside and figured if one came along at a cheaper price I would buy it. I didn't have to wait very long. A couple weeks later and there it was again on ebay (different seller) but at a much more affordable price. I put in a bid and a few days later I was the proud owner of a slightly used Magic Wheel. The seller has another one for sale if anyone is interested.
Ladies and Gentlemen, without further adieu I present to you "Magic Wheel Practice", a short film from Trail and Error Productions.

Never heard of those before. Looks way harder than a skateboard, but I guess you have plenty of time to practice.
ReplyDeleteThought you got rid of word verification?
Me too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that looks tough. Does it have any advantages over a skateboard?
ReplyDeleteThat looks tough. Maybe you could use it for 100 miles on a treadmill.
