    hi guys, i was hangin at the local bike shop today putting
    together bikes just for fun, and some dude comes in to pick
    up a bike that i put together, while hes waitin for the
    finishing stuff he says"i gotta unicycle out in the truck
    that i dont want, u want it??" jason, the bike owner said
    sure, he brought it in, and jason said i could have it, i
    messed round on it, and i realize that this could be some
    fun, so what kinda unicycle should i get? i realize that i
    just got one today, but its perdy shot, its an old old

    i'd recommend one of these for a beginner such as yourself:

    unicycle.comshopexd.asp

    just kidding. actually i'd say recommend like a torker, but
    definitely not a savage. Savages are cheap, but the seat is
    so uncomfortable that you will simply not want to ride. As
    long as you're feeling comfy, you'll want to ride. I think
    you can get suns and stuff for only 50 or 60 bucks. dont go
    out and buy something expensive till you know you really
    enjoy unicycling. Also, i'd probably get a 20" if you're
    just gonna do casual riding, and a 24" if you plan on going
    any significant distance on the uni. (24" is a bit harder to
    learn on, but *much* faster)

    hope this helps,

    For my money, Torkers give the best bang for the buck
    when it comes to beginners. Just make sure it's Black and
    not Chrome.

    Nimbus is another good brand for beginners if you don't mind
    spending a bit more.
