Danni said:Depends for what. Jumping, gaps, hights, etc, bikes are much more
superior. Many many decent bike-trialsers can jump a meter while only a
few expert unicyclists can do the same.
Unicycling is easier to learn how to hop, but a lot harder to attain
good hight.
Fiddly, cramped lines are easier on a unicycle as the wheel is directly
underneath us.
"Bike trials is way harder than unicycle trials"
That [censored] me off. Are you really so good at both uni and bike trials
to say this?
The trials bikers I've let on my unicycle could jump up a curb within
thirty minutes. I sidehopped a curb on a trials bike just as fast. It
depends on the learning curve and skill of the rider.
I agree with Danni, it does depend on the riders learning curve. I also
think that trials on a unicycle compared to a trials bicycle is a hard
one to compare for several reasons:
Firstly almost everybody can ride a bike from a young age, therfore
hopping about on one isn't much more. Whereas it takes a lot of effort
and practice to learn to unicycle.Yes, any trials bike rider could
stand on a unicycle and hop it, but could they ride around on with the
control a unicycler could on a bike? I think it is much harder to learn
the earlier aspects of unicycling thus making it harder to ride trials
on. Also, with a trials bike you have the momentum aspect of being able
to roll and quickly put the pedals in the right place without having to
hop around and stop almost all other movement.
I would hate for people to think that what we are doing is easy, 'cause
it relly isn't!
EVERYBODY that does unicycle trials deserves props for having gone
through the dificult learning stages and also for doing something
different.
More people would unicycle and love it if they just gave it a try and
didn't just give up because they 'couldn't do it first time'.

As the original author of this thread I don't see why we shouldn't
extend the conversation to trials. It is a natural progression within
the discussion. A lot of trials riders have tried, or do, BMX and
vice-versa.
