  1. what is the tire w/ the best spring/bounce (I have to buy a new one
    might as well get the best)

    and i think I invented a new trick the other day, i was playing around
    w/ a crankstall and i figured out that you can have your foot on the
    pedal and the other on the seat, switch reallly quickly and jump down (
    I did a full 360 the first time)

    has anyone ever done it??

    ok i have been riding for 3 years, doing tricks for 6 months and being
    sorta hardcore for 3 months (before that the only trick i did was a
    hop-180 to backwards riding or a spin off of a wall or something

    no, but i'll try to explain it again ... i need to do it in a better
    place when i video it ... there was a light pole in my way last time

    ok, here we go
    there is a trick (forgot the name because its weird) that you do in a
    crankstall
    you do a 180 while the unicycle stays stationary in a crankstalll and
    land back on the pedal that is sitting on the ledge

    i did that trick, but w/ no hands - my foot was on the seat holding it
    in place

    ohhh and i do pedal flips while in crankstalls (its actually sorta
    hard)

  4. I think that most tricks people come up with while doing a crankstall
    look pretty bad. Unless its really quick and flowy like Dan's seat whip
    grab then its just cheesy. There isn't much balance involved so you are
    basically just standing on a pedal and moving things around.

    With that said, I'm not saying your trick is stupid (I can't really
    picture it). Film it, it might look cool.

    i agree, but this one actually takes balance because you jump off the
    unicycle do a 180 in the air and catch the seat w/ your other foot and
    land your foot back on the pedal @ the same time

    something is loose on my unicycle and apparently i put the wheelset on
    backwards so i need to go dissassemble and reassemble everything b4 i
    go riding tomorrow 😠

  8. all you have to do is loosen 4 nuts/bolts flip the wheel set and tighten
    4 nuts/bolts ond its done, why is that so hard?

    and people, quit posting stuff about new tricks! we would have hundreds
    and hundreds of pages of "i invented a new trick" if every trick
    invented got a thread started, street riders invent new tricks
    constantly, so quit saying you invented a new trick

    They put on panda suits and then pretend they're milking a cow. It's
    art. You wouldn't get it.

  9. Hmm, I find the Maxxis CC has a lot of bounce to it.

    But seeing how your rim wouldnt support that trials tire, I am not sure
    to what you should get. I have a standard 2.125 tire on my freestyle,
    and can get a good compress in it, I do fold over a lot, and the PSI is
    about 45ish, wich is almost max for that tire.

    I think Maxxis makes a 2.2 tire, you can probably fit that and try it
    out, or just test out tires at your LBS.

  10. The tire with the most bounce will more than likely be a trials
    tire(20x2.5-2.7). But for you maybe try a 2.2" tire because thats all
    that will fit on your rim and in your frame.

    About your trick im not really getting it either. And listen to
    Unijesse, dont just post what your new trick is and try to explain it.
    If you dont have a video of your new trick then dont post about it
    because few to no people will understand it if they cant see it.

    lol thats why i posted it with the tire w/ the most bounce question

    and its not just 4 nuts and bolts... its 8 and i like to make sure that
    everything is back together perfect so i don't have to work on it as
    often 🙂

  14. I agree, I have the Maxxis Holy Roller and its great. It may just be
    that I have never had a trials tire before until now though.

    the holy roller will fit a 20" rim. if your LBS knows whats up they
    probably carry them
