Hello!

if spending money isnt an issue and you just want to ride around get a
Kris Holm 24",, if you want to do tricks later get a Kris Holm 20".
got to http://aebike.com/index.cfm and email them about the price of
both these unis, it'll be a pleasant surprise

By the one that can go anywhere, do you mean off-road? That means muni.

A muni is a 24" unicycle with strong wheel-set and a fat tyre. There
are bigger wheels, but 24" would be much easier to learn on.

Two good examples:

And welcome to the forums. Unicycling is a wonderful sport. Embrace the
inevitable.

Good night.

Welcome!!!
Soon you'll be as addicted to this sport as the rest of us :p

Unless your like 5 ft. I wouldn't worry about inseem requirements, you
may have to cut the post, if you do just cut it an inch at a time.

If you are like 5 ft. and you lower the seat to the frame and it's not
enough, then you may have to cut the neck of the frame, then do the
same.

I think I read of a woman who was 5'2" and had short legs so she had to
cut an inch off the neck off her frame.

I have to say that a 20" wheel is way more sexy than a 24" wheel.

Sexiness is a subjective thing.

20" ride slower, so you wouldn't be able to get around on one very
well. 24" ride faster, but are a bit more difficult to learn on. 20"
are great for doing tricks, but most tricks can be done on the 24" as
well. You chose.

I've got a 24" muni myself. The only uni I've ever had.

You'll be buying one of each someday anyway... :P

If you want to learn lots of tricks first, then start out with the 20
inch one. If you actually want to get around on it, though, you'll
likely want the 24.

(I still think that a cheap 20 freestyle is the best first unicycle.
Inexpensive and very good for learning tricks. It sounds like you
already plan on going off road though. 🙂)

Smaller is easier. Big wheels are harder to manouvre. Uni is *not* easy,
no matter how easy some make it look. So you want as much of a
headstart as you can get. Once you've got the hang of the basics, i.e.
forward, turning, mounting, backwards (possibly) then you're ready to
move on.

24" is about as big as a learner should go because one of the most
important basic skills is to learn is freemounting. Once you get to 29"
and above, it's jump mount only. I defy anyone to do that without
getting to grips with a static mount first, though no doubt someone on
these fora will have tried.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Get a cheap 20" to learn on.
Buy a decent one once you're capable of riding it. Then your big
concern will be whether to get a 24" or 29" muni.

Go for the KH24. You may buy more models and sizes later, but the KH24
is the best for starting and riding muni.

I learned on a nimbus 24 muni, purchased the KH24 2 months later, and
the nimbus only gets used by my friends now.

Don't be frustrated while learning. Every little bump in the road used
to knock me off, and I couldn't believe how the folks in the muni
videos could ride like that. Practice and determination triumphed, and
I rode Moab 3 months after learning to ride.

Keep at it, but go with the KH24.

Funny you say that, jump mount was the first freemount I learnt...
Seriously. I even grazed my arm doing it.

24" muni.

I had tried the roll-back mount, but that didn't go well for me, so I
tried just jumping unto it and it worked the first time, although it
was a bit scary.

I learnt the roll-back about a week after that, if I remember
correctly(probably not).
