I am super low on cash and I need somthing to ride. I'm down to just a bc wheel. I tocoed the rim and killed the hub as well as the cranks on my modified Torker LX uni. I'm looking at the nimbus trials uni or the bedford light trials but what the hell is light trials what will it take. I want to be able to do atleast 5' drops. Please I need help.

light trials don't have a splined hub. get the 05" torker dx. You can get one cheaper then the none splined nimbus. If I remember right they are like $175 and have a splined hub and crank set

Ok I found a 2005 dx for $189 with free shipping WOOT. But is it worth spending a little extra for the 2006 model. I only weigh about 100 pounds. And there is this 5 foot loafing dock near by thats driving me crazy.

Look at www.bedfordunicycles.ca. Darren Bedford is an awesome guy. He can do custom stuff. He'll build exactly what you're looking for if he doesn't have it listed.
Email him or call him.

At the bottom of this page:http://www.cyclesportandfitness.com/unicycles.htm
You can buy a new '05 Torker DX. These are just as strong as the new ones, just without the red on the frame/seat.
It will withstand a LOT, and at $189.99 + FREE shipping, it's a steal.
