a kangaroo unicycle is a uni that the crangs both face the same
direction so its kinda like the equivalent of riding onefooted but with
both feet its hard 2 explain its a novelty cycle and not a normal uni
so yea ...

No, you must have a crank puller to take cranks off.

Here's the plan. If you want to buy the Torker CX, there is only ONE
version, and the "Kangaroo" is a unicycle made for novelty, goofing off
use, NOT FOR LEARNING OR RIDING NORMALLY. Click this link:
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=42 --- that is the
unicycle you need. Again, the kangaroo has backwards cranks on purpose
for novelty use - don't get it!

i hate to tell you ... but i used to change my cranks all the time and
havn't ever used a crank-puller... you can get any bolt or punch or w/e
and a board ... elevate the thing off the ground ... put the thing thru
the spokes ... on the cranks w/ the board btw the "punch" and the crank
... hit w/ a hammer a few times ... its off

its way easier than it sounds
i forgot to mention ... take the nut off that holds the crank on

For no hassle, buy the cx, not the cx kangaroo. A kangaroo is the name
for a unicycle which has the two cranks pointing into the same
direction, rather than 180 degrees apart, but is otherwise normal (not
eccentric).

The presence of the kangaroo on the pricelist is mainly a joke.
Basically any uni can be converted to a kangaroo, and the other way
around, by rotating one crank. For this you need two tools: a crank
puller and a wrench.
