Getting into street for cheap

the cross is not a good choice.
if you're going to go cheap, go for a torker.

If you're so close to having enough for a unicycle with a splined
wheelset, I think you'd better go mow a lawn or two so you can get one.
:P

you can get a dx for $200 or less on ebay.

Actually, the cheapest I've seen on ebay is $245 including shipping
anywhere in the US, that's where I got mine. The guy I got mine from
usually has one up, but he doesn't have one for sale right now. Check
back in a few days.

That sounds great, I'll wait for that. I didn't see any less than $260
on eBay the few times I checked. He is selling the 07 models?

I don't know if they're 07 models or not, but I do know that the seller
is called price_thumper and he's located in New Jersey. He has good
seller feedback at eBay and (more importantly) from several people in
this forum. I haven't bought from him, but nearly did until someone
local sold me a brand new DX last year for under $200.

OK I've been looking around more, and I'm confused about the difference
between freestyle and street. Is street just freestyle and trials
together? Or is it a subsection of trials?

freestyle is basically unicycle dancing (sorry to anyone who might take
offense to that) street unicycling is like gapping stairs while
throwing a crankflip or unispin. its alot smoother than trials and alot
more flowy. a splined hub and crankset is called for in street and
trials but definately not freestyle.

freestyle is not only unicycle dancing. It is also things like wheel
walking, idling, standup tricks and tons of other stuff.

Street is a bit of a combination of freestyle and trials. It consists
of stair gaps, grinds, footplant, unispins, crankflips, and twists.

Trials is well... trials.

I just have to say this. Trials should be just as flowy and smooth as
street is.

Also, a lot of street videos I see on here, are just as bouncy and
stuff as the trials videos I see one here.

Look at Shaun in Ill for smooth street, and look at Zack Baldwin in
Defect for smooth trials. Thats how they should be done. =p

I completely agree. zack baldwin is so smooth in his trials riding it's
almost impossible to match but on average, trials isn't as smooth as
street just because in trials you're jumping straight up alot more than
in street and trials isn't judged by style while street is.

Freestyle is tricks on flat ground.

Street is like street bmx-ing or skating.
