Greatest or stupidest, its spurring some pretty interesting conversation over how it works.

I agree, probably wouldn't work. But also might not be entirely impossible.

And, exactly how are you supposed to turn the thing? You certainly couldn't turn very fast AT ALL.

Yes! A new avenue for debate.

Maybe it's got little wheels on poles that it throws down for added stability during fast maneuvering. A 'stoppie-bar' would certainly solve the braking issue.

Actually, turning would be the least of your worries - you could throw it into a turn just like a unicycle, up on one wheel.... If you were a freaking lunatic, that is...

There are quite a few of those on this board, so I guess turning is no issue.

I think that's just for parking. If it hits the ground while you were riding it.... I don't think you'd be riding it much longer.
