  3. Get the onza trials. They are $409 (i think) of UDC. I have one and it
    is really good. I do alot of freestyle, trials, and a little muni on it
    and its awesome. Amanda has a onza trials too and a KH freestyle i
    think.

  4. I don't know why everyone's recommending a trials uni for
    freestyle...there's a reason they're called trials uni's, not freestyle
    uni's. get a freestyle unicycle, not an Onza, or a KH, those are made
    for trials and generally are not good for freestyle. you can do some
    minor skills on one, but to do anything really freestyly, a freestyle
    unicycle is the way to go.
    I don't know anything about freestyle uni's though, so wait till someone
    else gets here to find out which one to buy.

  5. Trials unicycles are not good for freestyle. They are good for trials.
    Freestyle unicycles are not good for trials. They are good for
    freestyle. It's that simple. However, you can do a lot more freestyle on
    a trials unicycle than you can trials on a freestyle unicycle. So if you
    want to do some trials, and some freestyle, but want to focus more on
    trials, get a trials unicycle. If you want to do only freestyle, get a
    freestyle unicycle. And if you want to do both seriously, you should
    probably consider getting a trials and a freestyle.

    I believe I am fairly good at freestyle riding, and my unicycle is a 24"
    Nimbus II freestyle unicycle from unicycle.com. Supposedly a 24"
    unicycle is not very good for freestyle, but it works fine for me.

    The reason for getting a trials would be to able to do trials and
    freestyle and maybe a little muni. Yes, a regular freestyle would be
    alot better for freestyle. Here is the one i am getting in a month or so
    (although im getting it upgrade from semcycle.com).
