  1. I am 15 years old almost 16 and i can ride a unicycle. I suppose i am
    not very good compared to other people but i can ride pretty well. I
    can hop and am learning to ride with seat out in front and ride back
    wards. I can jump up curbs ok and over small objects.
    I would like to go into Trials riding because it looks like good fun.

    Any tips

  7. The torker Dx is almost impossible to come across in this country, i did
    once manage to import a torker but the taxes etc. do add up. I'd
    suggest the Nimbus Trials, it's in your price range, it's a good
    quality unicycle, it's easy to get hold of and it performs aswell as
    any trials uncycle on the market. The only drawback of it is that it is
    much weaker, so if you regularly do big jumps, especially if you weigh
    a lot, you will eventually break the hub or cranks. However, for
    starting out in trials i wold thoroughly reccommend it, people will
    probably say on here that you should save up until you can afford a
    splined hub unicycle, if that's possible then maybe think about it, but
    if not don't worry, get the nimbus as your first extreme uni, I know I
    did 😄

  8. 140£ might too little to buy a descent trialuni..
    You shouldn't get one without a splined hub, you'll buy cranks and
    destroy hubs in no time, and then you'll have to buy another one..

    I'ld go for the qu-ax splined trials unicycle
    http://tinyurl.com/ae87h

    I don't know if i would go for the onza 2004 that are on sale at 180£,
    the hub sure is strong but i have had some problems with my 2004 years
    municycle from onza..

    I'ld rather go for the 2005 model, but then it is 35£ over the quax
    trial unicycle..

    I'ld save some more and go for the quax-trials!

  10. Riding trials with a square tapper hub is like trowing darts in a
    inflatable boat! 😉

  12. hi, theres quite a few unicyclists in devon, you should come ride with
    us all some time. where abouts in exeter do you live, me, bishop and
    matt live in uffculme, just off J27. did you go to the last south west
    uni meet?

    i think thats cos your not reali doin any huge drops or anything you
    should go with the nimbus trials, depending on how much you weigh. as
    long as you dont weigh too much you wont reali need a splined hub for
    what you are doing, i think its only £135 to.
