  1. Would the Nimbus II, with a 20 inch wheel be good for a first timer to
    start on? I have tried on my cousins uni, although it was a little too
    big. Any suggestion for a good starter uni, or is the Nimbus II a good
    start? I am about 4 foot 9.5, and weight about 75 pounds (yes, i am
    very small). I still don't know if a 20 inch, or 24 inch would be
    better....

  3. I'm just starting, so I guess just being able to ride around on the
    street, maybe a few tricks, I guess that would be freestyle?

    Wow, you're literally the -exact- size as me! And yes, the Nimbus II
    would be absolutely perfect for you.

    Why? I clicked "Post follow-up message" (I'm pretty sure you can't
    find that!) and it worked perfectly well.

    The Nimbus II 20" is an excellent unicycle to start on.

  8. Yeah. I have a Nimbus II 20" which I did most of my learning on. I still
    love it and am still learning on it.

  9. Thanks everyone, but I just found out that if i don't want to pay for it
    (which I don't, but more importantly -can't-) I need to wait for my
    b-day, which is February 2nd. This stinks!
