Trials vs. Street

trials: trying to get over/ ride obsticals (manmade or natral) using
hops riding etc.
Street: puting freestyle tricks into street trials settings

Well, in trials you jump and hop and in MUni you just ride down a
montain/trail

Muni is mountain or offroad unicycling. Trials is mainly getting over
obstacles, riding skinnies and that stuff. Street is more like street
skateboarding, griding rails, tricks down stair sets, flip tricks...

Street:The object is to do a wide variety of tricks with lots of
variations, an example would be jump+ 360 over some stairs, off a
ledge, etc.

Trials: The object is to get up and/or over obstacles, such as jumping
'up' ledges, benches, and so on.

Muni: riding through woods, mountains, any type of rough terrain were
you can roll over obstacles without having to do much hopping as in
trials. Obstacles in Muni tend to be placed on downhill trails, so you
drop down them, and so.

Keep in mind that M-uni contains trials riding.
Trials came from motorcycle riders who focused on an element of
cross-country riding.
Likewise, bike trials came from bmx/mountain biking.
In turn, unicycle trials, I'm pretty sure, came after rough terrain
riding.

In a nutshell, a "complete" m-uni ride includes everything from trials
and cross-country riding.
Moreover, it does not have to be in "a natural setting". Typically, it
simply requires some rough terrain (like the streets and sidewalks in
Houston 🙄 )

The KH20 is the best street unicycle i've ever ridden. I have it
unchanged from outta the box (except for the occasional viscount seat
on it if the KH broke). And right outta the box it's amazing.

Trails are normally used for walking on. (edit: dang it, maestro beat
me to it)

I've always thought the main difference between street and trials is
that street is more focused on doing a flashy line, while trials is
doing it as technically-advanced as possible. Is this right?

In my opinion: Trials is static most of the time and Muni is
kinetic(moving) most of the time,
