non splined trials uni good?

I have that unicycle. 🙂

If you're light like you say you are, 3 foot drops will be a cinch. I
have done 4-5 drops on mine, but that starts to break things.

Splines do make a huge difference, but as you're so light if you use
good technique 3 foot drops should be fine for a while.

I think non-spline trials uni's are perfectly fine for people under 150
pounds. I've had my Nimbus Trials Unicycle since August, and I have
had no bending whatsoever. I weigh about 120 pounds and I have taken it
off of a 4 foot drop.

they are good if you are light and have a good rollout, but investing in
a splined, even if your light and have a good rollout, will just be
better =p

Yes, especially the affordable ones. If you only weight 80 pounds then
you shouldn't worry about getting a splined unicycle for a while. Get
one with a square tapered hub; it will weigh much less and still last a
long time.

From all the threads about the DX frame breaking I think he's better off
with an original KH frame, and he can upgrade to splined when he grows
big enough to damage the hub.
