  1. is it ok for me to do hops on my Dodger? I will only be hopping /
    dropping around 3 inches max, will my unicycle be able to handle this?
    since its not made for that kind of stuff :p, but it will be the only
    way i can get over high curbs :S

  3. Yeah, square taper cranks are rated to 10 inch drops by riders of 150
    pounds or less. And if that rating is given, then it should hold up to
    copious 10 inch drops, so I would bet that you're fine for curbs. I
    ride on/off curbs all the time on my freestyle (square taper) so I
    wouldn't worry. The longer your cranks are, the less of a drop is
    required to bend your axle, from what I can tell.

    Don't go hopping off short walls like I did with my old 20-inch, that
    bent it pretty quick.

  4. Some unicycles break from a 5 inch drop....Some don't. I actually took
    my first uni(Sun 20"😉 off multiple drops of 3-4 foot before it actually
    broke.

  5. Yeah, I'm not familiar with the "Dodger" unicycle, but my Sun 20" also
    took some good 2 foot drops with no problems, so 3 inches shouldn't be
    a problem.
