    I'd recommend not going for big drops on the square taper unicycle
    unless you are very confident that you have perfect technique.

    Joe

    what do you mean by that like what do you consider a big drop

    I would think a big part of it would be how much you weighed as well. I
    don't think I've seen any videos of big burly guys doing big drops on
    any unicycle. Probably a factor in how it feels, too!

    It's not the size of the drop, it's the repetition. Keep doing hard
    drops and eventually it'll be time for a new axle. That's pretty much
    it. If you want to do lots of drops, a splined axle is in your future.
    Ride accordingly. 🙂

    BTW, please put your question in the subject line.
