I'm excited...

I'm about to order a summit trials unicycle and am very
excited I'm also very curious as to waht I'll be able to
do. I've been riding a classic Torker for about and year
and just recently I'm starting to get in to trials. My
highest measured drop was 26" with ease, ( I could of gone
higher but am looking to sell my current uni and am scared
of damaging
it), and my highest up is about 2 or 3 risers. I'm just
curious as to what the major differences I'm going to
feel will be. Anybody know?

I bought a Torker LX and then bought a Summit. It was very
different.

First off it looks wild with its huge tire. And it is MUCH
heavier. It will feel very smooth because its heavier and
the thicker tire rolls over small bumps. I believe the
pedals feel wider. I'm not sure. The cranks are definately
shorter so its a little bit slower.

The Torker feels like a sportscar in comparison to the
Summit. Light, fast. But I ride my summit more.

Initially the weight will feel like its preventing you from
jumping, but after you do some trials with the Summit (with
lower tire pressure. much lower than you think you need)
then the Torker will feel stiff. You won't get any bounce
from the Torker's tire.

I found no difference in doing stuff like one footing.
There was no transition period for me. One thing that is
different is that the Torker flat crown is much higher than
the Summit.

I can't think of anything else. I have not done too much
trials because the summit came with a Viscount and I haven't
bought a seat with a handle yet.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
