What's next?? help.

Hopping will be the most fun but it will take a whlie to get good unless
you have some other trails experience.

hopping on and off of things is awesome!

1 foot is quite easy to learn, at least for me, and once you do that,
playing around with one foot idle is fun, and it will come with time
and practice, as everything does!

stomach on seat is quite easy with a little practice

and seat in front will just tempt you over time.

the best advice i can give, is to just go have fun, experiment, and
find challenges that YOU enjoy. if you find a particular "trick" fun,
concentrate on learning that, and then find something else to learn.

One thing I did a lot of this afternoon on the 36 was to ride a long
ways with a hand on the seat. Left and right. It's not hard, obviously,
but I hadn't really focused on it enough to make it as comfortable as
no hands. Seems like a useful skill. My balance is still much better
going "airplane " LOL.

Have you tried......
*SIF* - Seat In Front
*SIB *- Seat In Back
*SIS *- Seat In Side

If you have then Wheel Walking is a good thing to try, cause it can
lead to coasting and other stuff. 😄

that may be a little while... there is nothing that says you have to do
all types of riding.

Do what seems fun and getting comfortable with riding is important.
Make your own style.

Thanks for all the input. What I am interested in is what would be the
next easiest trick to transition to now that you know what I can
already do. I am already pretty good at "dismounts"! Ha!

What kind of riding do you want to get into? That would help a lot w/
our suggestions.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

I really do not have any "Muni opportunities here by the coast so from
what I can figure I guess I should be learning trials. Those skills
look like they are used everywhere. BTW what is a good trials uni to
start with? I will never become hi speed. I've been told the torker dx
is pretty much multi purpose.

DX is good, but because of the new Nimbus ISIS trials uni that is out,
the DX isn't the greatest anymore. So if you can afford the Nimbus ISIS
trials uni, you can still go for the DX.

Both unis are very strong, and will last you a while.

If you go with the Nimbus, you can upgrade the cranks to KH moment
cranks, which I would recommend to do.

i have a dx 24" and its kinda heavy but it holds up well. the next
logical thing would be working on riding one footed or wheel walking. I
am still working on wheel walking now but it is always fun. I am trying
to eventually learn to glide but it will take a while. GL

I also say go w/ the Nimbus trials/Muni. if you get the Muni then you
can use it for transportation as well (but no brake mounts, there must
be some trials somewhere around there for Muni). If you want a cheep
Muni w/ brake mounts get the 24" DX. A 24 is a bit harder for trials,
but much faster and better for Muni.

Brian-O demonstratted it's possible to take a Nimbus trials and make it
lighter than a stock KH.
Stronger and lighter 'Qu-Ax' (http://tinyurl.com/2jdk2h) seatpost,
stronger 'KH' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=956),
'Onza' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1068), or
'Qu-Ax ' (http://tinyurl.com/37tehs)cranks, 'cf seatbase'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=259), and Magnesium or
plastic Pedals.

As far as what to work on if you want to do trials hop up/down curbs,
then stairs. If you don't have a splined uni yet don't do the drops.

And that included shipping. You have to email AEB first and arrange the
deal. This is the best deal available I think. Just put on some lighter
pedals and you are styling. Long story, read this thread. Cool business
