  1. I want to buy a new freestyle unicycle to learn wheelwalk, gliding,
    seat-out, and more. I want an indoor tire and plastic pedals. I am
    currently looking at the Koxx freestyle and the Nimbus X Longneck. I am
    also thinking about buying it in parts. So a few questions:

    The frame design is different on the two unicycles mentioned, what is
    the advantage/disadvantage with the two?

    What seat is best for freestyle?

  2. Well, the frame is the most important component for a freestyle uni,
    followed by the seat!

    It is very important to have a comfortable place where you can put your
    feet on, especially for stand up tricks!!! Also have an eye on the
    space between the tyre and the frame, the less the more comfortable to
    glide the better, easier to ride. The third point is the width from the
    place where you put your feet on. There are frames with different
    widths, so choose the one most width.

    I would prefer such a frame:

    The Seat should be comfortable and let you easy go up to stand up. So,
    Vitelli, Miyata or Koxx Gel are your favorites...

    We have german articles on this on www.einradfahren.de with much more
    information, if you can understand german, this might be useful.
