  1. I recently got a torker dx, and i plan to start doing some more intense
    stuff the what i used to do, and i want to know, how high should the
    maximum drop height be for it? I'd like to not break it🙂

  3. I have done about 15 8 footer drops, and countless 6 footer and below
    drops, everything is going strong and true.

    Once you are going higher than that, the DX will still hold up, but
    will start to bend and brake down, so watchout for the 10 foot drops
    and above.

  6. A rollout is this: the moment your wheel hits the ground, you start
    pedaling. It helps transfer downward momentum forwards, so you dont put
    alot of stress on the axle, therefore increasing the life of you hub.

  7. i think evan knows what a rollout is.. but he just cant do one...

    anyway. i have a tokrer dx and its still true after about a half a year
    of crappy riding and a year of pretty intense stuff. the only thing
    thats broken on it is the seat, pedals, and the frame.

    so pretty much the only thing good on it is the wheelset. it is
    amazingly strong for how cheap it is. im happy with it, but now that
    ive gotten my blueberry its not very good....

    so i would suggest nothing more than 6 foot drops if your more than
    150lbs.

    im 120 and ive done 10'..... it was scary. and i didnt land it.

    The goat iz a coarse wollen sheep, with a cracked voice and a sanguine
    digestion. They had rather steal a rotten turnip out ov a garbage
    barrell than cum honestly bi a peck of oats. They strike from the hed
    and are az likely tew hit the mark az a bumblebee iz.

  10. At ten feet I'd be more worried about breaking a leg than breaking the
    unicycle.
