i think he broke the top of the seat post in half

if that is in fact the case, you just buy a new one. You can get them
from UDC or wherever

After looking closer I realized that your right! It is the top of my
seat post. Here's a pic. What I should do to fix this?

You could weld it back together, but that might be hard. I say just buy
a new cromo seatpost. You shouldn't be able to break that very easily.

I walked into B&Q at lunchtime and some old guy dressed in orange asked
me if I wanted decking. Fortunately, I got the first punch in and that
was the end of that.

buy a new one, welding would be annoying and it wouldnt be as strong
next time, they dont cost too much. Also, make sure you by a CrMo one,
much stronger than aluminum

About a year ago myself and a friend whom both have KH20" unis broke our
seatposts in that very same spot on the same day (literally about 10
minutes apart). The temporal proximity was especially surprising
considering that I purchased my unicycle many months before my friend.
The break also resulted in this picture:

Another friend bought the KH20 a bit later and had his seat post break
similarly but seconds later the plate broke in the back too and the
seat came off entirely. The whole scene was quite amusing.

That friend contacted Kris Holm directly who did not offer any sort of
replacement/upgrade even considering the obvious design flaw. He did
thank my friend for the feedback and said he would take it into
consideration with future models of the KH20 but apparently that was
not true.

We all ended up buying a chromo seatpost which we could only find on
the UK's unicycle.com site which resulted in a fairly high shipping
cost. Those seatposts have held true for all of us though.

I also recommend removing assembly-instruction-stickers from your
unicycle because they make it look like an item you picked up off the
shelf at Walmart.

Can I get a CrMo seat post anywhere else other than the UK? Obviously
trying to cut down on some shipping costs.

I was out doing some riding, I went to hop a snow drift and the
unicycle didnt come up with me so I wiped fairly bad. I thought my post
was simply lose until I examined it closer.

yeah, the kh20ers have an aluminum seatpost (if i remember correctly),
and they tend to break really easily. So just buy a CrMo one and you
will be fine

that depends. if you know what you are doing it isn't that hard and
you can even make it stronger than before. a little gusset and it is
way stronger than before
