Got my new KH freeride yesterday and took it out to a local trail. What a hoot! I've unicycled my whole life but never off road and I'm hooked. It will be good cross training for mtn bike races. Thanks to this great forum for the input on what to buy, I am stoked. Jim
Glad you found your way to muni! I also enjoy both sports very much. But please tell us some more. What type of mtb-riding are you into and how do you expect muni to make you a better mtb-rider?
I think it will help conditioning and balance. I do cross country mtb and will do the same on the muni, probably not real technical downhill. Do all kinds of XC mtb races, 24 hours of Adrenaline etc.
Muni, or rather all unicycling has given me better balance on the bike. But regarding conditioning I find XC mtb being a much more evil workout than XC on a muni.
