  1. I learned on a 24" Torker LX, YEAH. It took me 3 days to learn on it.
    So I dunno...but I have never tried a 20" so it could be just as equally
    good. Doesn't matter to me

  2. It's not a big difference for learning. More important is how you think
    you'll ride once you get going. If you want to go places, get the 24".
    If you're more interested in tricks and riding in small areas, get the
    20".

    *go with the 20" for a starter. its easier to learn on and its cheaper

    $89.00 for the 20" LX
    $99.00 for the 24" LX
    Not a significant difference to choose the less expensive one.
    It probably is a little easier to learn on, but again not a significant
    difference. So don't let those differences be your reason for choosing
    the smaller size.

    I feel that the 24" would be a better choice. I learned on a 20" Torker
    and eventually bought a 24" LX which I now ride instead of the 20". The
    24" will allow you to go faster and further with each revolution of the
    wheel.

    You'll eventually have a complete assortment of unicycles, so it doesn't
    really matter too much what your first one is.

  4. My town is hilly and not much places to do tricks, so i think im looking
    at the 24.

  7. Ya, you will be fine without one, they are only used 24" for real steep
    stuff, like mountians, you wont need one on the street.
