  7. In my experience riding a 24" for street is always a compromise. What
    people consider impressive is the type of unicycle you are using to do
    tricks, instead of the tricks themselves. Yes a 24" is faster and can
    let you do bigger gaps, but it is heavier and slower to
    unispin/crankflip and quite frustrating for doing tricks that involve
    hopping on the wheel or using the wheel as a foot plant point. If you
    are serious about riding street i think a nice 19" splined trials is
    the way to go. I got one and now i would never take my 24" for anything
    other than distance or offroad.
    mark.

  9. I thought I was gonna end up doing alot more trials than i did. When i
    got my 24'' dx I ended up doing tons of muni. And for me at least,
    muni does have some trials in it depending on what kinds of trails
    you're riding

  10. So there's hope for me on my DX 24! I do most of my practice riding to
    and from school, or before I've left for home. I can't bring myself to
    ride my 20" places and practice stuff it's just too slow (but since I
    put on my 170mm cranks the 24 is probably just as slow as the 20 w/
    127's). Being almost always broke I get more miles per $ as my
    presantly 'favorite tire '
    (http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=15254)is only $14
    at my LBS is also a motivating factor.
