What should I get now

I vote on riding your current uni until it breaks down. Keep practicing
on your 24" and saving your money. Once you've gotten better and have
saved your money get a nice uni which will last you.

My current uni already had broken down. My pedals are all crappy, my
seat is all scuffed and torn. I am going to keep practicing for a while
but when I'm ready for a new one, what should I get? Is it nessarcary
to get a "beginner" uni if I alrewady learned how to ride?

what type of unicycling are you interested in?
Do you want to do distance, freestyle, street, etc?
That should guide you in your choice of unicylce.

if you want to do some distance, do not get a 20"...i can tell you from
experience that, 20" isn't good for doing dostance..and that from only
one reason...the tire is to small...
i once (3 days ago) went to school with 20"...the distance is about 10
minutes walk...and i paddle, and paddle, and paddle...and i still
didn't get to school...
so if you want to do a distance, get something bigger than
20"...althought the 20" is the best for doing tricks and so=)

Keep riding and practicing until you know what you want to go into. I
started out with a 20" Sun, and worked with it for a while, hopping up
and down steps and off rocks and stuff. Then once the unicycle was
stopping me from progressing, I knew I definently wanted a nice trials
unicycle.

Basically I'd just keep riding your beat one, and see what direction it
takes you. If you find that you're really interested in freestyle, but
the unicycle is holding you back, then its time to get a nice freestyle
uni.

Remember that a 24" is a great inbetween. I do all trials and street
on a 24", you can ride distance not too painfully (though a 28" or
coker is better), and you can do freestyle on them too. The only
difference I notice is that it sometime harder to learn a new skill on
the 24". For instance, I couldn't learn seat out in front riding on
the 24", but once I got it on the 20" I could easily adapt it to the
24".

Basically it all comes down to how much money you want to spend on
various unicycles, and what you want to specialize in, if anything. If
you do end up going the trails route (which it doesn't seem that way
from your post) make sure its strong, but besides that, you don't need
anything rediculously expensive in my opinion.

Hope this Helps

edit: Oh yeah, a really good option for you maybe to get a 28" Sun
unicycle (really nice for getting around, plus cheap), and a 20"
freestyle or something like a torker lx. Both of these combined can be
below the price of one expensive unicycle.

i would say that you shouldnt buy a unicycle until you can freemount at
the very least, if your uni is falling apart then only work on
freemounting until you can do it everytime, also start to actualy use
your uni for what you think you want to be doing so that you get a
better feeling of what you might want. if you find yourself really
wishing you had something that you could go faster on, then get a big
wheeled uni, if you find you really want to be staying with freestyle
stuff, and your uni is unridable then get a new freestyle.

hopefully that made some sence but i think that the general concensus
is to wait as long as possible.

Exactly the same for me 😉 although i never knew the name of my 20"
freestyle uni.

I think this quotation explains that you would have to know what you
want to do with your unicycle. I quite summarize previous posts.
On a cruising unicycle (28" and more) it will be difficult to do
freestyle or trial tricks. For freestyle, it would be a 20". For trial,
a strong and expensive 20" or 24" if you want to be able to ride quite
far (you know what you can ride with yours) and practice Muni.

Hope it can help

I'd say get an $89 28" Sun for touring
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=652) and a Torker LX
for $94 (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=634.) There
you go, all your needs covered for only $183 small dollars. Or you
could get an amazing quality Yuni 29er for only $149
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=601).
