  3. BIKE!! Dont bleep out the frickin word. It was cute for a second, now
    get over it! BIIIIIKE

    True that this isnt exactly the best place to ask about bike stuff, but
    then again the dude might not be so far off. I know that quite a few of
    the unicyclists on here also do it on 2 wheels.

    Now, manon1wheel, you gotta be a little more accepting. Its really
    scary that you dont like BIKERS.....flat out....broad.....none of them,
    huh? That is some [censored]!

    I would be extatic if i met a trials biker today. 2 wheels, 1 wheel?
    who gives a rats ass? We could still ride together and have fun on the
    same stuff.

    Trials, MTB, DOwnhill, BMX, Distance... its all good. Everyone has
    their own thing they enjoy and thats awesome.

    This is so asinine i cant finish writing about it.

    what?

    Most people start out on monty mods.
    I would buy a used one, because like a semi-learner uni, you'll want to
    upgrade in the near future, prolly ride a stock.

  7. It depends if you want to ride mod or stock, but I've heard good things
    about the lower-price-ranged onza bikes, like the T-Raptor or T-Pro.
    Also depends how available they are in the US.

  15. Unless your totally sure you want to ride just trials all the time I
    wouldnt buy a mod bike, I have alot of friends who have mod bikes
    sitting on the shelf while they go out and ride trials on stock bikes
    that they can also take out and ride urban on.

    You can do all the things on a stock bike that you can do on a mod,
    they are just a bit harder for most people. Personally I would go out
    and get a planet X alibongo or something similar and set it up around
    light free riding not trials. If you find trials is really your thing
    you can upgrade to something else a bit more specialized. Also you can
    probably sell your original bike and make back most of your investment
    as free ride style stuff is way more popular right now.

    yea...
    I have an alibongo, but you wouldn't want to put a uspension fork on
    it.
