  3. I got a nimbus 24 first. Added the gazzolodi tire. It's taken what I've
    put it through while learning, and wasn't a budget breaker. I muni and
    trial on it.

    You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

    but i also have only had it about a month so i cant really comment, i
    have only taken it off two foot drops but if you want something for

  7. My 20" Torker LX has held up well, considering what I've exposed it to
    (3ft drops, unispins, riding into a pool, crank/pedalgrabs). The only
    thing "wrong" with it, is that I have to tighten the 5/16" (i think?)
    bolt for the left crank every once-in-a-while (but Loctite solves that
    problem!). I've been very happy with it, but I, too, am hoping to
    purchase either a splined trials unicycle (probably a 20" DX, Qu-ax, or
    Bedford) or a Coker in the near future.

    Do you know what type(s?) of riding you will want to be doing
    (freestyle, trials, cross-country)? I would say that the 20" Torker LX
    would be perfect for you as a beginner (assuming Liz is a girl, and
    therefore not as heavy/crazy as most guys), and it should be within
    your price range (I paid $97.97 for mine [including s&h] on eBay)

    Hope this helps,
    Joe B

  10. I used a Torker DX for sometime. It held up to 3 foot drops just fine. I
    just put a trials rim and tyre on it because the original rim and tyre
    where uder rubbish. Now it bounces really well but folds a little
    easier. I hate that word, I can never spell it right.

    People who throw stones at you are quietly saying, "shoot me," they're
    just not being verbally expressive enough.
