  1. Would you buy a torker lx? Im doing street stuff and I'm still a
    beginner, i need a cheap unicycle thats just a step up from a begginer
    uni. I have a torker cx thats not so good.

  2. I would get a DX or some other $200ish uni, but it would depend on the
    type of riding you like to do.

    I'm happy with my NIMBUS.

    Seeing as I've bought four of them, I'd say they are pretty good. Of
    course I did get them 65 five bucks a pop, and did manage to destroy
    one. If you can afford the DX, then get the DX, if you can't, get the
    LX. I guess we don't have to warn you about the CX.

  6. That was a long time ago. It was back when they had rounded crowns. I
    also don't think they were called the LX yet. If memory serves, they
    were called the HD. I actually preferred the rounder crown, as it was a
    much smaller profile. When I started to do one footed skills, I added
    'foot mount thingies' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album257). They
    worked very well.

    Maybe. But for the 1st timer wanting the test the hobby, Torker is the
    best.

  10. My 24" Torker DX has held up well through my learning and basic muni
    experience. Besides, for the price I don't think there is anything
    better to start with. I have recently seen left over 2004 models for
    $139 on ebay.

    I think that's going a bit over board. But it's your opinion, and you
    are entitled to it. Just tell us, what uni is better for the price?
    Also, please tell us what's so wrong with Torker?

    so good.

  14. As far as I'm concerned, the LX is just fine - but I'm just riding
    around on the street (it's still cold outside here, I'm waiting 'til
    summer to learn some tricks). I just got mine this winter for ~$100 on
    eBay for christmas.

    Go for the DX though, if you've got the extra dough.

    Guess that's kind've a repeat of what everyone else said 😉

  16. really? everyone says the cx suck, which it does in someways but ive
    gone off some moderatly big drops, its holded up just fine.
    so final decision- the lx is dependable and great deal for the price
    what are your thoughts?

    Both are good deals. Do you want a 24" or a 20"?
