Trials

trials is freaking fun dude...and just because you bounce around doesnt
mean you cant roll around its just a different type of unicycling and
honestly do you find it fun to just roll around on the sidewalk, i find
that quite boring unless your attempting to ride long distace

I think that's why I like street; it seems to be more "flowy" and
natural IMO. But I'm impressed with all styles and appreciate them all.

I have become interested by rolling trials recently, but its different
from street in the way that trials is not so much for show or video,
but for knowing that you can do something technical, or knowing that
you are able to get over that obsticle. I see it as almost more
personal.

I understand where your coming from, but think: why don't bikers just
get a pogo stick too? Hell, why even use a pogo stick when we can all
do parkour or street running? Why even do that when you can just stick
to walking the paths?

It's because we enjoy the challenge. A pogo stick is much easier to
jump high and far on, but doing it on a unicycle takes alot more
thinking/balance/strength (in my opinion). For example, you want to
jump across a line of rocks. A pogo-ist (whatever you call them) would
simply bounce across, while a trials unicyclist would plan how he would
land/where he will land on the rock/what the easiest path would be, and
so on. I also do it because its unique, and you can do it almost
anywhere you go.

Yeah I hear what you're saying. I actually enjoy a little bit of trials
myself, but I find it pretty boring to watch some of the videos on this
forum where the whole video is just jumping and nothing else. If you're
ONLY going to jump, you might as well get a pogo stick (which is what I
did before I got a unicycle)

It's not all jumping, trails riders do skinnies which can look very
impressive and be a great crowd pleaser too.

I just don't think your thread contributes anything to the unicycling
community.

trials is so fun, you obviously havn't done it much.
it is frustrating when you should be able to do something that you
think you should be able to.

Trials is for street riders that can't do tricks :p

Haha, I can't say that I've ever compleated a super hard trials line,
but I imagine that I would be very satisfied, although it'd be much
more satisfactory and visually pleasing to complete, say, a treyflip
over a 5-set. I don't really like watching trials videos, and such.
Just saying that it doesn't *look* that fun, and I don't find it that
fun... But your style is your style. Rock on trials riders 🙂 (but rock
harder, street riders!)

personally, i don't like straight trials that much. But, i do like urban
trials and stuff where the trials is mixed with street. For me, it
can't get better than that.

Street is better to watch but I like trials and street equaly. They both
involve a lot of risky tricks/drops that are hard to pull off. Most of
trials riding is just jumping and bouncing around but theres also
handrails which take a lot of skill and confidence to ride.

i like trials to do..prefer street to watch.
i only really do trials because i cant really do much street..no tricks
for me yet 🙁
but trails is unicycling you cant really say it isnt as you are still
on a unicycle and its a style of riding.

just jump up and down on the unicycle. You might as well have a pogo
stick, it has a much better bounce. Any comments on this? Again, I'm
not trying to be mean or anything, please don't get upset if you
disagree.

that's kinda like saying if you're gonna do street just go ride a
skateboard.
of course I don't think that way..

street and trials are both equally challenging and can both be very
impressive.
