If you have the opportunity, yes, go to NAUCC. The excitement and
atmosphere created by hundreds of unicyclists is great. You will see
every type of unicycling and people doing things you never thought were
possible.

so i've been riding for a little bit now. not sure how long. i've got to
the point where i can ride w/o stopping for long long times. im going
to buy a new unicycle and i want something that is good for muni and
for doing tricks. my budget is a little over 300 dollars, any
suggestions?

i heard about some competition called naucc. im only 14 and im not very
good at uni but do u think it would be worthwhile to go? even if i
didnt compete?

If it's strong and sturdy you want, I think you can get a Torker DX or
a Qu-Ax muni for around $300. www.unicycle.com has them both.
Keep in mind the differences between a 20" and 24" wheel size- 24"
wheel rides a little bit faster, and smoother, and is better for rough
terrain/XC type riding, while a 20" wheel is slower but more versatile,
thus for just riding around doing tricks.

If you can make it to NAUCC, go for it! Age makes no difference, you'll
probably see unicyclists anywere from 9 years old to 60 years old. It's
not all about competition either; North American Unicycling
-Convention- and Championships. It'll be a lot of fun.

It is usually pretty difficult to get a Koxx uni in the US, though there
are a few suppliers. Shipping may be a large amount for that brand.
I would go for the QU-AX or the Torker DX. Both are very strong but
somewhat heavy.
As for wheel size, a 20" is best for trials and street, while a 24" is
best for Muni. You can do any style on either size, but having the
right size makes things easier.
