first unicycle)

I've done seven foot drops on my torker DX, it'll hold up to plenty of
abuse, its only downfall is, its a little heavy, it has a skinny tire,
and the hub is 48 spokes. But its a great beginners unicycle, I recomend
them to everyone that wants a quality unicycle for cheap.

I don't have very much experience with torker. but i must say that is
not a "off road unicycle" the tire is not knobby and it is much to thin
(around 2.13 or something) to be doing any serious off roading. Also not
sure about the rim but i believe it is not double walled. But if you are
just planning on using it for freestyle unicycling then it will work.
Pretty much i think people on here would be able to tell you exsactly
what to look for if you could tell us what you are planning to do with
it. Are you planning to do Off roading ? Or trials? or Freestyle? or
just planning to use it as transportation?

I think a better question to ask is first is, do you even know how to
ride a unicycle? You could do freestyle, and some basic street and
trials on a 20" DX, offroading, forget it, I mean you could, I have, but
its just not practicle, you'd have much more fun on a diffrent
machine.

But chances are if your a new unicyclist, you don't want to buy anthing
too expensive/serious yet.

yeah, the Torker DX is a grrreat uni for beginners, and actually it's a
good uni even for experienced riders, as long as you don't ride it tooo
hard.

PS the NUMBER ONE-- wait, no NUMBER TWO rule-- well, maybe number one,
it's kinda of a tie....anyway, one of the MOST IMPORTANT rules of these
forums is, you shouldn't make multiple new threads if you don't need to,
and since your three threads here are all pretty much asking about a new
unicycle, you could have just made one thread and then asked another
question in that one thread. Just so you know :)

yea sorry about that. and as for some of your questions ihave a
schoolyard near my house and once i learn how to unicycle ill spend much
of my time there. There are benches, some logs, some stairs, and a
bunch of random elvated box type bench things. I wont be going down
hills and stuff i think ill do more of hoping from object to object
jumping onto things balancing across beams an stuff.

Can someone tell me why unicycle.com is better? bicyclesource.us has a
much lower price and free shipping. I am asking because I was about to
order from them. Thanx.
