Get yourself an extra set of cranks and you can hop all you want. The
rest of the uni will hold up as long as you inflate the tire enough to
prevent a pinch flat:eek:

I would hold off jumping around on a Torker if I weighed 220. A friend
of mine who weighs under 200 bent the axle trying to learn to hop. The
cranks are pretty cheap, too.

On the other hand, if you have another unicycle on order already,
breaking your Torker would be a good excuse to buy a MUni or something.

I had a torker lx 24 inch,

I tried to do trials on it, but I never got good, I would really
suggest getting a 20 inch trials. Also, on the torker, I could do a
picnic table hop, but that really worried me, now I would happily drop
of something bigger with my trials uni

I weigh around 215 lbs (probably 220 with Camelbak loaded) and hop on my
Torker LX, but I wouldn't ride off any drops bigger than a curb. The
torker has held up fine for almost two years, though I mainly ride my
KH24 now.

Thanks for all of your input.

I don't want to do trials... It's way beyond my level and I live in the
middle of nowhere. I was just wondering if it would hurt to hop on it,
but I've decided against it! Thanks everyone. I'll practice sometime
when I get a nicer uni and I no longer care about my torker.
