"Torker Torture"!!!!!!!

Not a bad idea. As long as you do a steady progression of abuse.
Otherwise your video ends up being 10 seconds long once you taco the
wheel on your first drop.

I think a better idea would be to fill the tire with pudding and then do
a big drop.

or read colored corn syrup. that could be a good hidden feature for a
video. just fill a tire too fat for the rim with varios condiments and
dessert treats and land some heavy drops.

my vote is for mustard.

That sounds like fun.

The filling with condiments type ideas sounds funny, but I question
what's going to happen with the tire/tube combo when you hit. Shouldn't
provide any bounce at all... maybe even dangerous!

There's only one way to find out.😄

The max psi is 60 on the 24 inch wheel.

And why bother with a drop? Riding it across a slope (not up and down)
and the wheel will bend.

It did for me anyway.

I love the idea, but be careful. The small stunts will do a lot more
damage than you may suppose.

Heres a couple better ideas:

Save the money and buy better equipment for yourself.

Use the money to donate a unicycle to a club, or for use as a prize at a
convention.

Buy love.

You can't buy love!
You may "help it" a bit, bit you can't actually buy it, and that really
sucks.

Anyway, i think the other 2 advices are very noble and fair.

I rate it "It's your money."

But why kill a Torker, a perfectly good "regular" uni, great to learn
on? If you want to kill something, you should get one of those [censored]
tricycle-technology unicycles, like my old Troxel. You can find lots of
them on eBay. Buy one cheap, and do the unicycling world a favor by
destroying it!

Unfortunately it's been done (Universe I). When that video was first
screened, most of the group I was with didn't understand this part.
That's because they didn't learn to ride on a Troxel. Destroy!

How are you guys breaking your axles off of just 4' drops, you must have
to land pretty damn hard. I've done 4 footers a whole bunch of times on
my 24'' lx, all that happened was one of the cranks bent a little cause
it wasnt tightened down all the way. You guys need to learn to absorb
the falls better or something.

If you feel the great urge to waste your money like this than buy one of
these: 'Here Click!' (http://tinyurl.com/4jg3s) I have always wondered
how these would hold up to the slightest abuse, the question here is
which will break first the cranks, the hub, or the entire wheel!?!?

That unicycle is so many times better than the one I learned on. It's a
"real" unicycle.

My experience with mag wheel unicycles is that they eventually have a
problem with the interface between the steel axle and nylon wheel. The
hub starts to come loose. That's after heavy use. If you just ride it
like most people they hold up fine. I don't think big drops would break
a nylon mag wheel; it probably just bends.

That's funny that you posted this idea.

Just a couple of weeks ago I had a similiar idea. I had 5 new 2004
torker unistars at my house (I'm doing a community service project where
I teach teens who are from troubled families how to ride a unicycle). I
had to put them together, and I was riding one around our house. I was
grinding with it on my/zack's grindbox. It was interesting because I
was griding smoother with the torker than my trials uni!

Anyway, that got me thinking it would be fun to do a bunch of street and
trials one day using only a torker. My idea differs because I didn't
have in mind destroying the uni. There is nothing wrong with that, just
that you'll be wasting money. This would be more fun if you got an old
unicycle at a garage sale for about 10 bucks.

Lay-ha-ter,

Jess
