trials or muni

i like muni a lot but trials is hella fun too. i live in the middle of a
huge plain. there's not much for hills let alone mountains. so i have to
drive a little ways ~15 mins to get to some woods to ride through. even
then i can only do about 2 miles in and 2 miles back out. not that
great. i also live in a college town and there's loads of urban type
trials obstacles on campus. woo for ISU having lots of fun stuff to play
on.

Congratulations! This is one of the very few polls where I can vote 100%
accurately without having to compromise my opinion based on the
choices!

Based on the limitations of the polling mechanism, more than 90% of the
polls people put up are a useless waste of time. They either think they
can get an actual sampling of the world's unicycling population here, or
they ask questions that we can't answer using the choices they povide.

This was a good one. Poll-makers, take note! Everybody either likes
Trials or MUni at least a little bit better. Only thing you could have
added was an "about the same" option.

Overpopulated?
Big City?
All locations?
Eh. Nevermind.

I live near off-road trails BUT off-road riding is still a bigger
commitment than trials/street. There are trials lines INSIDE my house -
whereas to get good off-road, I must leave the house. Plus, off-road
riders probably want more "adventure" (as in riding new trails) whereas
trials riders would be happy staying inside my suburban neighborhood
(there are some GREAT lines here that would take years for anyone to
do).

I burn up quite a bit of gas getting to riding locations. The 2nd to
last ride I did was in Florida (Vortex trial in Ocala). I spent more
time flying (each way) than riding.

Even though the cost is higher, the reward is also.

Well, to keep the poll as good as it is, the wording for that middle
ground option should be something like "Cannot choose". Otherwise
people who are 49/51 have two valid options.

This one was a no-brainer... I mean, I love both trials and muni waaaay
more than any other sport I've tried, but riding muni, I'm happier than
a pig in [censored].

Riding muni, the trail / conditions are constantly changing, you can
ride the same trail 100x and never hit the same line twice, you're
neck-deep in nature and there's nothing like the taste of dirt...

In trials, if you get all dirty that usually means you couldn't stick
your line and bailed way too much... not good!

In muni, if you get all dirty that usually means you ripped the trail to
shreds... way cool!

I suppose if I were better at trials I'd have a different opinion, but
nonetheless, I'd choose mud over pavement any day 😄

Amen! I went riding the other day...Real rainy and slushy...feet
slipping of the pedals constantly...Really humid and sweating like a
dog...Muddy,dirty, tired and bloody...You can wipe all that off but not
the smile on my face...

MUNI is so much better. Cause i do a bit of both on my nimbus. But i
wouldnt trust my friends trials to take me across roots and [censored] for a
few miles even though his trials uni is pretty stong.
