I’ll have to agree with the others on that point: never seen anybody leaning forwards. But we still have so much to learn that it may be a good position. Personally, I prefer to have my butt backwards and my head forward, except when I’m coasting, standing up on the pedals.
You could certainly practiced in that way, right! Maybe you’ll have to lower your seat as this mount is harder with a high seat. Let us know how it works for you! 
I mainly agree with your point. But as I’m pretty unconscious - who said I ride my freewheel clipless? -, I don’t find this more dangerous than riding among cars with a fixed wheel. As always, training is the key. There was a time, last year, when I was unable to ride a fixed wheel because my brain was in freewheel mode… And it was easier and less dangerous for me to commute on a freewheel.
So, if you’re cautious and trained-enough, I wouldn’t say it is a bad choice. It could be a great choice if you want more fun, or if you don’t remember how to ride fixed! BTW, I’m still waiting for my freewheel 36er to assess how great it is to cruise on such a machine. I’ll try and build it before summer 
It would seam that I’m unique in my forwards stance!! I did lean backwards into it once yesterday which resulted in a off backwards which thankfully was slow enough to land on my feet, I am fully aware that I will go down backwards at some point and have it covered.
That’s great I can try the front pedal mount on a fixed unicycle which il do and also I need to tidy up / get more confident on jump mounts in the meantime.
Yes il keep posted on progress but I don’t expect to get anywhere close to the level of riders I’ve seen here which is very high.
I tend to stick my hands/arms above my head to keep me leaning forwards, otherwise I fall off the back. I am really bad at braking and have a crappy brake so I can’t correct for backwards lean whatsoever.
Here’s a 1000 foot coast on my 27.5" Flansberrium / Bicymple freewheel build.
Nice shot! Most would call that brake coasting or brake gliding though.
I had the exact same thought.
First we started talking about “brake coasting”. This was on fixed unicycles, with your feet in the air and your hand on the brake.
I especially remember the video of @scotthue in the Moab desert. Later, I saw Martin Charrier doing it live on a G36. And Souryan Dubois did a video with a very long and impressive brake coasting.
Whether it’s with a freewheel or a fixed unicycle, it’s closer to gliding than to coasting. Anyway, the language evolves with its use. The most important is to understand each other
I’ve also thought a bit about the terminology here and although brake gliding seems to be the best technical fit, I think we’re onto a losing battle with it.
I think we’ll have brake coasting, both on a fixed wheel and on a freewheel, and “free” coasting both on a fixed wheel and a freewheel. Then gliding will remain its own distinct shoe burning thing.
I’m learning scuff coasting and gliding at the moment and always make sure to wear my old trainers that already have holes in them as that feels bad enough for the soles 
So I decided to give a hub I found a try. A site called Rideminded has front drift trike wheels with disk mounts for $70 shipped. I can tell off the bat that these have smaller bearings, just a 6002, but I may be able to swap them for 6302 bearings to get that 42mm diameter unicycles use. Bearing pitch is unknown, kind of looks like 125mm from what I see, but I don’t know for sure.
I’m wanting to build this into a freewheel penny, so one way or another I feel like I can solve the issues. And they have cool colors. I’ll post back once it arrives.
Wheel came quick. Turns out the description online is wrong, it already comes with 6302 bearings, so 42mm diameter out of the box. Bearing pitch is at like 115mm, so that’s oddball. I haven’t tried to put it in a frame yet, but probably a good fit for stamped bearing holder steel frames that can be widened a little.
20 clicks per revolution if that means anything.
If that’s a spacer behind the non disc side then you could get it machined down to make it suit 100mm spacing
If you are able to widen the bearing pitch, just a little (2.5mm on each side) with spacers then you will be at 120mm and you could use a frame like this

Alternatively you might be able to bend a frame like that in just a little and not need spacers.
Put a saddle on top of it and it’s a unicycle!? 
I’d love to see @Medaceina or anyone ride that drift trike wheel and maybe even fork as a freewheel uni! The green colour looks amazing. 
Right, thought about that too. Saw off 15mm of the spacer, so that the bearing can sit 15mm closer to the wheel and enjoy your 100mm bearing pitch. Though then the non-disc crank sticks out 15mm more than the other – which one could either try accepting or compensate with an appropriate pedal extender on the disc side. That said, bending some steel frame sounds like the easier hack, doesn’t it?
i would recommend that you machine it on a lathe rather than sawing it as even the best of saw cuts will not be perfectly square
Freewheeling ultimate wheel? Solves a few problems:)
So is that an ultipossible wheel then?
Or perhaps imtimate wheel? (I think your version sounds better though)
