Where did u order it?
You gotta love this: I ordered it from a circus website in France 
When I ordered blue, the guy said I could choose any colour I wanted, so I ordered a green wheel instead. 230 € + 27 € shipping for me sending it to NL. Well worth it I think.
I had just googled BC wheel and was expecting to end up with a second hand and there they were. Their site is in French, but I could understand most of it.

I wonder how DIYable a BC wheel is. Seems pretty feasible with a thru axle-hub, a strong enough tube or bar that replaces the thru axle, and two fat „pedals“ that clamp onto the axle.
Fortunately, I have no such hub lying about, phew!

I think it is very feasible. I think my BC wheel is nothing more than a front wheel of a bicycle, with “hangers” attached where the forks would normally be bolted. The only work to be done is to make the hangers.
I can disassemble mine and provide photos in the next day or two.
Im sure you can make them yourself, but I am lazy and think others can make it more robust anyways than me. I have soft programming hands that are no good with tools. So I just buy one if I can.

So a BC wheel can be made from a bike hub, not a uni hub?

Much simpler indeed. Just imagine that instead of the fork dropouts which would be holding it on a bike, you have a L shape platform bolted on the wheel axis.
Yep. The key is to have the platforms parallel and keep them from twisting against each others. That‘s why I came up with the idea of thru axles; they have a bigger diameter than ordinary axles. This allows a clamping mechanism to provide more grip. But maybe the axle of a cheap old b!cycle wheel will do.
when made from a uni wheel, the platforms could move independently since they would have to be attached to the bearings, whereas with a b!cycle wheel they would be linked to each other via the axle. So they would always stay in sync.
I believe so! Now, I’m wondering if my hangers/dropouts can be installed on a 29” front wheel? I will never ride it like that, but I am wondering.
The bigger the UW, the easier it is, but is that the same case for a BC?
A modern BMX front wheel is probably the best option if you’re going to go DIY. They have much bigger threaded axis to accommodate for the freestyle pegs.

A few years ago BCs with frames + saddle and BC with handles seemed somewhat popular.
Isn’t a BC with frame a saddle about the same as a freewheel unicycle. At least for the hub and without the brake. Or maybe it comes closer to a freewheel kangaroo unicycle 
So much variation…

In the thread they call it ‘Peg Unicycling’
New discipline?
Here is Terry’s DIY BC wheel build tutorial. He has a number of videos on riding it if I recall correctly
I used to ride BC quite a lot.
They are just BMX front wheels with footplates. Try and find a wheel with a 14mm axle if you can. Might be difficult to find one these days but they were very common when I rode around the mid-2000s. The difficult bit with footplates is making them strong enough so they don’t bend without them weighing loads. Nimbus used to make BC plates but they weighed a ton. Try searching for Evan Byrne. He used to make BC plates from tube. I always meant to make a pair of my own but never got around to it.
In terms of riding, you definitely need to bend your knees. I don’t see how you could ride one with straight legs. You can mount by pushing along the ground with one foot, you just have to lean the wheel over towards the empty footplate to compensate. I always preferred the jump mount method though. Push the BC across the ground, run after it and jump onto the footplates. You can get more speed that way.

and how to much do you pump the tire?
It needs to be quite hard. If it’s too soft it will flop around, drag and be difficult to control.

Thank you for the confirmation! I felt that SOMEONE might be able to do this, even if it currently feels impossible to me.
