  2. A: Look under Unicycle Product Reviews
    B: Static is not moving and rolling is moving
    C: By your statments on other threads you don't need a new
    unicycle,learn the basics first.
    D: Stop making so many threads.
    E: Try to type more like an adult.

  4. before you get yelled at anymore for asking stupid questions let me say
    welcom to the forum. It is probably the best resource you could ever
    use for unicycling of anykind and is filled with great people that will
    help you out.

    You probably have a basic understanding of the search function by now
    with all these posts, go check it out your questions have all been
    asked before and there is a ton of great info archived in the forums.

    As far as the basic answer for your question the answer is based on
    you. That is it really depends what things you want to do with your new
    unicycle. From the sounds of things your interested in street riding.
    You are on the right track with the trials unicycle for that. Both of
    the unicycles you listed are fairly comparable. The thing to look at is
    the hub and cranks, seat, and frame.

  5. Quoted message said:

    The qu-ax is obviously a little better quality, hence the extra price.
    The hub/cranks are probablly a little stronger, the frame a little
    stronger. HOWEVER, the Torker DX has a stronger wider rim.

    The differences are small, if you have the extra cash go for the Qu-Ax,
    but if not the Torker DX is great for the price, being the cheapest
    splined unicycle on the market. Splined is the strongest choice.

  6. Rolling hop is were you ride forward, using your momentum to carry you
    forward up onto the object. Static hop is were you jump from a
    standstill, usually done sideways.

  8. Yeah because if you are using a trials tire then it will fold over more
    often with a skinny rim (at lower psi).

  12. I started with a Qu-ax Trials, It is GREAT it will take anything you can
    throw at it and ask for more. I have had it a year in May.
