    Alright all you real unicyclers, I've got some questions for you. I can
    ride a unicycle and have a great 29" GB4 but I've got some more
    questions about gear.

    1. What do you wear for footwear? (I've got to get away from wearing
    flip-flops sometime.)
    2. What do you recommend for a trials uni? (I'm in the market.)
    3. Do you have brakes? You like them? Recommend them? What makes
    them so great? Etc...

    Also, is there a good guide to getting mad hops on a uni anywhere?
    (albeit my 29 isn't great for this).

    And lastly, the skatepark has a sign that says no bicycles, has anyone
    ever tried takin their uni in? Consequences?

    1. Vans.... I personally perfer the Rowely serires but all Vans are
    good!
    2. Kris Holm KH-20
    3. I have a brake on my mUni and highly recommend one for mountain uni
    on steep trails.....I don't think you'll want or need one on a trials
    uni.....but I'm not a big trails riding so maybe someone else should
    answer that.

    1. Converse all-star hi-tops.
    2. KH-20 (or summit if you can find one)
    3. Yes. Yes. Yes, if you are going to ride anything very steep.

    The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of
    breath, and one day closer to death.
