Must buy Freestyle Now!

I would get 110mm cranks for a freestyle. As for brand, I don't have any
particular suggestions.

A toker LX isa greet cheap freestyle uni to use.

The cranks are a little long, but going to your LBS you can have them
put on some smaller ones. 110s are great for freestyle.

The lx is about 100 dollars, the new cranks will be anywhere form 20-50
dollars.

Cheap and effective.

I recommend 'this'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=739). Affordable,
strong, good length cranks for freestyle. What more could you want?
Possibly a long neck frame, but you sound as though you are new to
freestyle (please correct me if I am wrong) so won't be needing
anything too advanced for a while.

I would also reccomend the LX as it is cheap and unlike the Nimbus, it
has a flat crown which is good for freestyle, you can order cranks off
UDC when you buy your unicycle and still be under the nimbus price

Are you just going to be demonstrating skills you can already do on the
uni that you've got? Because if so it seems a waste of money to buy one
for a show. If you're riding a 20" - 24" of some kind why don't you
just put plastic pedals and maybe a more suitable seat on it? Crank
length for freestyle depends on what you're doing (shorter cranks will
only really make a difference if you're going to be pirouetting or
coasting or any other trick where you need to be going really fast and
smoothly. For easier tricks like 1 ft riding and wheel walking I don't
think it makes much difference). If you aren't learning anything new
for the show then I'd stick with whatever set-up you're used to.

Of course if the show is ages in the future and you want to learn new
stuff for it, or if you actually want a freestyle uni anyway, then none
of that applies and get a nice-ish one with a frame you like and
probably 110 cranks.

Is it trials you ride? If so people would probably actually be more
impressed by some hopping about on obstacles with some street skills
thrown in, since that isn't what they're expecting from a unicyclist in
a variety show.

I was in my talent show also this year. i found out that my freestyle
uni got in the way and it would have been better to just use my trials
uni. You do got to thing I was ridinging skinneys and hopping up steps
and down them along with doing tricks. I would say not get one unless
you will be doing just freestyle and I suggest a modified torker lx

i dont like flat crown frames especially the nimbus x. i find it far
too narrow, when i had one my foot just kept slipping off. i prefer the
nimbus II style frame because my foot doesnt slip off, but i suppose
its all just personal preference and what you are used to.

have you tried grip tape?

I like the flat style better, but thats probably because its what I'm
used to.
