  1. I'm wondering if the 24" size is really the ideal for BOTH muni AND
    Trials?
    I've seen so many vids showing both 20" & 24" unis being used for
    trials
    where both riders (young as well) were doing the same high level
    tricks. It
    just seems that a 24" is the best choice (especially for tallere
    riders)
    because where a 24" is the standard for muni, a 20" is too small. So
    if you
    can do both muni and trials with the same size, that's a big plus,
    right?
    Please correct me if I'm way off base here.

    ***PS: Still looking for riding buddies in the South bay area! (That's
    from
    Redondo beach, CA, to Venice Beach, CA area.)***

  2. for most peopel its a matter of preference and siz e of the person...24"
    is usually a bit heaver but some peopel like this because you get a
    better feeling of control. its all a matter of preference in most
    cases...it should be just fine.

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

    In U1, Kris Holm rides insane trials lines on a 24" MUni. With skill,
    trials on a MUni is completely reasonable. However, a 20" uni makes
    learning trials, freestyle, and street much easier, and makes the
    hardest possible trials lines doable. Realistically, if your idea of
    trials is hopping on picinic tables seat-then-top, a 24" will be just
    fine. If you want to push the limits of what is doable on a unicycle,
    then you should be riding a 20" trials cycle in town, and a 24" on the
    mountain.
