What is your opinion on a Torker Unistar CX 20"? Give me ALL the info
you have, please. 🙂 Is it too weak? Good? I am using it for just
street riding and about 6" drops on curb dropping. What do you think?

I think that one comes with a really gross seat. Spend a few dollars
more and get the LX.

Ive never ridden either, but from what i hear, if you want to do trials
definitely dont get it. If you plan on doing drops over a couple feet
than its probably not a good option. But the LX may be a reasonable
option for you because you are 10 years old. And you most likely dont
weigh too much. How much do you weigh?

I think it will withstand 6 INCH drops just fine :-)

I have one and have done many 8-10 inch drops off of curbs on it. I am
170lbs and haven't hurt it a bit. If you get into trials, you may want
something more stout. I think it is a solid starter uni. I still use
it for fooling around indoors, but have upgraded to a Summit(which is no
longer available) for outdoors. If you want something inexpensive to
learn on and wear out, this is a good deal.

I've just recently started unicycling (a few months) and I learnt and
still use a Torker... In fact... I've only ever tried a few other unis
so my opinion probably doesn't count for much.
