  1. After going on a pretty good ride, I decided to go get my video camera
    and do some more riding. After about an hour of riding I decided to do a
    gap that I found this morning. I did it a couple of times and shot it
    from different angles. I landed all but one of them then I decided to
    take a brake for awhile.

    After sitting there for awhile I noticed something was wrong with
    my axle. It was twisted. It is that 2nd axle that I either broke off or
    bent. I guess thats what I get for riding a 20" Sun for doing trials on.
    HEHE. I have video of today's riding and the gap I was doing when it
    broke. I am going to try to put it into a gallery. I will tell yall
    when I do. Peace.

  2. I think you should get a splined trials uni. Like a KH or QUAX, even a
    nimbus would be a lot stronger than your sun. How bad is the axle bent
    do you have the stock cranks on it?

  5. well...

    I would greatly reccomend the quax trials. I don't knkow too much about
    it itself, but one of my freinds has a quax MUni, and it is absolutely
    awesome for the price. I'm sure the trials will be too.

    as for bent stuff: I messed up my knee riding on bent cranks. I don't
    think it's a good idea. Unless you plan on hopping everywhere, that is.

    Unless the uni is your sole mode of transportation / meditation /
    entertainment / etc., your answer is "Yes". Do this in honor of all the
    unis broken before you, in pursuit of the ultimate uni, the ultimate
    trick, that good ol' adrenaline buzz.

    Where there is a will, there is a way. You can find another uni one way
    or another. If no one is willing to donate a uni to you I'd be happy to
    paypal you a few dollars towards your next ride, just PM me. (Note I am
    a "starving student" myself so don't everyone start asking me for
    funds).

    Pres. Hoover promised a "chicken in every pot and a car in every
    garage." The world would be a better place if more people had this
    philosophy. I can only offer a meager "ramen in every cup (as long as
    you can bring your cup to my house)" and to hell with buying _everyone_
    a uni. But, hey, it's a start towards world peace, eh?

    I rode my first uni until the pedals fell off and had to wait six months
    for a new ride. The rest is history, er, my-story... and a beautiful
    one it is 😎

  7. Im hadn't read these till just now. I am typing this right after I went
    for a ride. I kept doing trials on it. After a few drops around 3 ft it
    finally happened. Broke clean off at the axle. Just like my other one.
    May my unicycle rest in peace on this fateful day.

  9. Yeah im trying to get my digital camera to work. I will post pics when i
    do. I just do trials on it like everyone else. Im an ok rider. The
    highest drop and landed was probably 3 foot and the highest not landed
    was about 3-4.
