  2. first of all, these skills you have named are not freestyle... they
    would all fall under "street" skills or possibly trials.
    what kind of unicycle are you riding? do not try to do jumps on
    anything not built for trials.
    otherwise, for information on any of these skills go here:'tricks'

  4. my point is, make sure you have the equipment you require. is the torker
    an '06 DX? from what i hear, anything torker but the '06 Dx is not for
    trials. dont even think about doing hops of drops on anything not built
    for this purpose.

    pedal grabs, and crank stalls are an easy skill to start on, they
    should take very little time to learn. try searching the forum for the
    countless number of threads which explain the basics, and then go
    practice.

    the 360... is it rolling/jumping/static/hopping?
    it makes a big difference as to what kind you are trying to learn. in
    any case, try to 180 first.

  5. acctually all of the torker dx's have a splined nub so
    could(theoretically) be used for trials. but if you want help with
    trials stuff search the forums.

    p.s. starting 2 threads in two days about the same subject is a waste
    of time...yours and ours. just a helpful hint.

  6. Another helpfull hint is to make your thread title more descriptive.
    "Help needed with pedal grabs, stalls, 360's, and high jumps" would be
    perfect. Then people know right away what your thread is about.
    This forum is getting busier and busier and very few people have the
    time to check all the threads anymore. As a rule, most people will
    ignore threads with vague thread titles and you might miss out on some
    really kewl advice.

    The only advice I can give you is "Practise, Practise, Practise".
    Hope that helps.

  11. round 300-400 usd for a decent one like a qu-ax or up to over 5-600 for
    one with profiles. or you could just get a dx for like 275-300. of
    course you could always go for a non splined but that would be
    morecostly in the long run.

  12. Advice on how to write a thread title already given, so that's covered.

    muzzle said:

    first of all, these skills you have named are not freestyle... they
    would all fall under "street" skills or possibly trials.

    Listen not to Street/Trials snobs that will try to "own" categories of
    tricks under their disciplines. Freestyle encompasses *everything,*
    though it is most commonly performed on a flat floor. Pretty much
    anything you can do in a Freestyle performance can be done in Street,
    and vice-versa. Street is so new, in fact, that the edges are far from
    being defined. Mostly it shouldn't need any.

    Keeping the various unicycling disciplines from building walls between
    themselves...

  14. the nimbus is non splined which means that it is quite weak and wont
    take much punishment before you have to replace parts...your far better
    off with a qu-ax or torker dx 2006
