  1. Hey i am going to buy a new uni next week for street/trials. i cant seem
    to find the 07 dx though. mabe im wrong and it hasnt come out yet, in
    which case il probably just get the 06 one.

  3. lol...^^you're right..what exactly is the question? The '07 DX has come
    out..but you can never be too sure which model you'll end up with. I
    tried ordering the new one and got the old one. So i ordered the
    Qu-Ax...its well worth the money

  4. I would probably suggest the qu-ax since the dx is so heavy

  6. sure. but the lighter it is the easier it is to jump up things. youll
    be stronger but not be able to do as much.

    It would make him stronger, but he could ride slightly better on the
    Qu-Ax (might not be enough to really notice a difference though). Plus
    I find the DX seat uncomfortable (way better than the CX or LX though).

  8. order a heavy uni, work with it for about 6 months. get as strong as an
    ox, or maybe even stronger. Then buy a lighter uni and (some crazy
    revealing word) you can jump up twice as much as if you had just gone
    with either option.

    Note: this is just a theory and i have not yet applied it to a real
    life scenario

    Or just get the lighter uni and practice hopping up curbs or a box w/
    ankle weights.

  13. The DX really isn't much heavier than the Qu-ax, if I'm not mistaken its
    less than half a pound.

  15. 🙂

    I was going to get a qu-ax.

    part of it was a gift😎 😄 :p

    If I had gotten a qu-ax I'd be stronger.

  16. The weight of a uni hardly effects how high you can jump, but it does
    help alot for street were you manipulate the unicycle underneath you.
