  1. Ok almost as long as I've been riding I've been using a handle for a
    front bumper
    [image:

    But then I recently tried a plain old bumper. [image:

    It makes uispins easier and for some reason I jump a wee bit higher.
    So I need your opinions on this I might switch. Oh and I was riding
    the united seat and actually found it rather comfortable.

  2. I agree with you that the KH handle sometimes gets in the way. A miyata
    (or miyata clone) saddle would be an alternative, authough it depends
    on what kind of riding you will be doing. IMHO Miyata is good for
    freestyle, KH for street and possibly a reeder or kinport of something
    for muni though I would stick with the KH.
    A lot of people use a handle a lot of the time when riding (eg.
    street/trials) in which case no handle or a miyata handle is often not
    the best way to go.

  3. In my experience those handle-less seats can't stand up to abuse like
    the KH or myata style ones can. They just completely fall apart when
    you abuse them.

  5. I know^^ it's awsome. How do they not hold up a good? I don't drop my
    seat to much but I don't know about seat drags. Miyata isn't much
    better. I'm kinda clueless. The durability is kindof making me
    wonder😕

    They bend easily, and then the steel inside of the seat will fatigue
    and not hold its shape.

    If you can't get over the hate in one puny internet thread on a
    unicycling site, then you will never hack it out in the "real world"
    where crack smoking bumbs throw rocks at you while you're practicing
    your 360 unispin.
