    I would get a NIMBUS II longneck frame, more solide.

    Don't get a shaved try-all tire, knobby tire are better for flatland
    since when you kick the tire it's less slippery.

    Every other thing are all right.

  6. I would just get a black domina and be done with. Actually, I personally
    prefer most flat on freestyle unis, so I would actually go nimbus x
    freestyle, but thats just me😉 . or I guess Koxx signature if you've
    got the money.

  13. You are doing exactly what I used to do.

    You just listed pretty much the parts for a black domina, which is
    pretty much the nicest uni for flatland, and asking us if it would make
    a good uni.

    Here are some things you should consider when it comes to picking a
    flat uni.

    Frames - lightweight it always nice, and it is good if they have a big
    crown for your foot, and minimal tire clearance.

    Tires - It's a tire, use whichever one you want.

    Rims - you might as well get a wide drilled one because of less
    folding, but you don't really need it if you are doing pure flat.

    Cranks - You want cranks that have a lot of foot room on the axle part,
    the KH/Onzas and Koxx street cranks are good examples of this.

    Pedals - whatever you like.

  14. The freestyle video is not a good example. I would say that in freestyle
    unicycling not only the level of the trick counts. The show is also
    50%.
    Flatland is for me pure skill and flow nothing with music or acting.
    But I dont know how somebody should be judged who does tricks like
    standup coasting or drag seat in a flatland competition.
