  2. Wheel size depends on what he wants to do w/ it after he learns.

    20" - freestyle and light trials. Can do light Muni, but a 24 is
    better (faster, rolls over bumps better).
    24" - commuting, light muni. Learning will be a bit slower than on a
    20". Can do freestyle and light trials but a bit harder.

    I wouldn't recomend learning on anything larger than a 24.

    Torker LX's are good learners. You can get one for about $80 off
    e-bay.

    'Here's one for $40' (http://tinyurl.com/22f83c). don't wory about the
    seat, they aren't that comfortable anyways (use duct tape untill you
    get a better one). You'll want to get a Nimbus Gell or a KH Freeride
    or street off 'UDC' (www.unicycle.com)

    I recomend using a long rail or wall for learning. The seat & pedals
    will last longer that way.

  4. I recommend the 24" Torker LX, it is the most versatile option while
    still being very affordable. Some of the other posters were slinging
    around some terms you might not be familiar with. The word "muni"
    stands for mountain unicycling, off road riding.

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
    (like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

    waiting and hoping someone would repy to my post. Thanks so much for
