What unicycle shud i get for flatland

Ill warn you that people have been known to break the domina doing flat
(ie Spencer Hochberg) , however this may not be a recurring problem.

Yo im getting into flatland and i wanan build up a new uni thats good
for it

so far im thinking:

black domina frame
koxx street cranks
shaved tryall tyre
odyssey twisted pcs
kh street saddle

what else u reckon

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.

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.

Question: What's the difference between flatland and freestyle?

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.

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.
