  1. hi guys, i was hangin at the local bike shop today putting together
    bikes just for fun, and some dude comes in to pick up a bike that i put
    together, while hes waitin for the finishing stuff he says"i gotta
    unicycle out in the truck that i dont want, u want it??" jason, the
    bike owner said sure, he brought it in, and jason said i could have it,
    i messed round on it, and i realize that this could be some fun, so what
    kinda unicycle should i get? i realize that i just got one today, but
    its perdy shot, its an old old oxford, so what u think i should get
    guys??

    Thanks-
    Ben

  2. i'd recommend one of these for a beginner such as yourself:

    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=101

    just kidding. actually i'd say recommend like a torker, but definitely
    not a savage. Savages are cheap, but the seat is so uncomfortable that
    you will simply not want to ride. As long as you're feeling comfy,
    you'll want to ride. I think you can get suns and stuff for only 50 or
    60 bucks. dont go out and buy something expensive till you know you
    really enjoy unicycling. Also, i'd probably get a 20" if you're just
    gonna do casual riding, and a 24" if you plan on going any significant
    distance on the uni. (24" is a bit harder to learn on, but *much*
    faster)

    hope this helps,

  3. For my money, Torkers give the best bang for the buck when it comes to
    beginners. Just make sure it's Black and not Chrome.

    Nimbus is another good brand for beginners if you don't mind spending a
    bit more.
