Oh, and me... 3'6", but I'm about to go try a 4' in just a couple of
minutes.

(3'6" wasn't any harder than 3'..... hmm).

I've intentionally dropped maybe 18 inches.
On trails, sometimes I've run into obstacles which constitute a drop of
maybe two feet or more.

The biggest drop I've done so far is just above my cheek. Off a wall.
I'm 5'11" so that's about 5'6" I think.

I've done that on both an Onza trials 20" and an Onza muni 24". Both
sustained no damage. I've done it a few times on each.

Well, sole drippin, it will be 1,5-1,6 meters or so, or 5/6 feet... It
really isn't hard, just hard on the unicycle and actually quite
pointless. I find it much more entertaining to jump up an obstacle than
down.

I have gone off a foot and a half on a Torker CX, amd it was fine. I
have also gone off twice that on a DX, and it is also fine. My trials
riding friend (4 foot 7 riding a 16 inch) went of a 18 inch on his
little sun, and it is fine.

Aye, man!

Splined all round!

The Muni is the 2004 "Onza" version, which creaks a bit but is fine.

The Trials is the 2005 "KH/Onza" version, which doesn't creak and is
fine. Although its cranks are getting a bit bent now!

I went off a drop that was around 4 foot. Broke my Sun 20" right in half
where the crank connects to the axle. On the spindle? (I tried the drop
3 times before it broke.)

I've done at least an eight foot drop. The highest I've ever done on my
unicycle is about a foot. I don't really have much interest in doing big
drops, and I really don't want to damage my unicycle.
