    😄 A 'Torker TX' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=763)
    is in my opinion the best unicycle to have. 😄

    As for doing freestyle. It's not exactly something i would do with a
    giraffe.

    Torker Tx is a good Giraffe cause it's so cheap. It's taken a good
    beating by me,
    Lot's of mounts, spins, 1 foot, jumping up and down stuff. A lot of
    people don't think it's that strong but it has held up for me...

    the tx is not a brilliant giraffe, infact tis the cheapest giraffe you
    can get (and yes i own one). Bending the axle and the frame is pretty
    easy, the saddle is atrocious. A 'nimbus performer double chain
    giraffe' (http://tinyurl.com/qhexl) is very high quality and you can
    switch the heights. It would be your best bet for a sturdy giuraffe.u

    When I was in doubt about a product I called the people at
    Unicycle.com.

    They were really helpfull, and its a 1 800 number.

    I spoke to them for 10 - 15 mins last time.

    Answered all my questions. No pushy sales person on the line, just
    another rider like you and me.
