    Question: How much do you weigh geared up for a ride?

    - 100lb and less
    - 120lb
    - 130lb
    - 140lb
    - 150lb
    - 160lb
    - 170lb
    - 180lb
    - 200lb
    - 220lb and more
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    My theory is that most trials(+street) and MUni riders are small
    lightweight guys, is this true? I'm 6'1" and 170lb. Am I in a minority?

  2. I'm about 6'1" and 12st (or just under 170lbs) in normal clothes. Add
    boots, helmet, pads etc I'll be a bit over 170lbs. I ride mostly
    muni/cross-country.

  3. 5'11"
    just under 200 lbs. I'm hoping my scale is off, though.
    I ride dirt.

    I think it's more true of trials guys than MUni guys; MUni guys tend to
    be in good shape, but aren't necessarily small. I'm 185.

  5. I know of a french young man: Thomas, who is about 1.9 meters tall
    (oups... let's say 6 feet and 6.5 inches) and is amazingly skilled for
    trials:
    he's been riding for about 2 years and cleared as many trial lines as
    Yoggi during the last French Uni Cup (Gasp!:eek: )
    He's also a very light rider, I'd say between 65 and 70 kgs (130-140
    lbs I guess)

    1.9Meters = 6' 3"

    So far, most of the riders are heaver them I am! I'm suprised, watching
    videos most of the guys didn't look that big.

    I guess it's a bit early to tell as well since most people are at
    school or at work still.

    So it is... or actally nearer 6'2". I was believing the 6'6".
    Still, 140lbs is only 10stone, quite light for a 6'2" tall person.

    Don't despair, just vote about 10lb lighter then you where last
    weigh-in, I'm sure unicycling has helped your physique over the
    convening years. 🙂
