Hey people i was just watching some unicycle vids on youtube and thought it looks like fun. I was thinking of maybe buying one like of ebay or the quakka or something. If i do get one ill be doing tricking stuff with it. What would be the best unicycle i could get for what i want it to do at the cheapest price possible. I was thinking of spending like $30 AUS or something. -- brendonv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brendonv's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15136 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61505 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

If you want a good one, then what iride said would be a better idea to
do. Also, you may consider this. They're Aussie and do a good bargain
for what they have. 😄

Put up a notice on any free local boards, "wanted ! unicycle for
beginner "
Someone has one sitting forgotten in your town. I bet they will give
it to you for 10 $ if you cry youth and poverty.🙂

When you get your cheap uni don't drop or jump down anything bigger than
a curb, or you will bend or break parts after a month or two.
