hey everyone, this is my first post. ive been checking out this site a
lot in the last few days. I've always wanted a unicycle. I am mainly a
downhill longboarder, but I've also shortboarded and used to do a lot
of flatland bmx when i was younger. I've never been on a uni before,
but I can be pretty cocky and I'm expecting to progress fast.
I just ordered my first unicylce, a nimbus x 20 inch from
unicycles.com. I was wondering what kind of beating these things can
take. I'm 160 pounds. I will obviously not be doing any trial stuff
right away as im a noob, but I will eventually.I wanted to get a trials
uni, but most of them weren't in my price range and i figured this
would be better to learn on

just wanted to introduce myself,
Johnny

Hey man. I'm a speedboarder myself, and I ride a Rayne Demonseed with
Crails and Pink Gumballs. I've also got a Lush Mako for carving with
Randal 180s and 78a 70mm Retro ZigZags. Plus, a GFH Pigme with the
stock 3" trucks and 78a 66mm ZigZags.

I'm on the Silverfish longboarding forums, too. PM me if you want my
name on there.

Its a landyachtz drop carve fiberglass with abec 7 bearings and 70 mm
flashback wheels. I recently made myself a homemade pair of sliding
gloves and plan on getting some harder wheels for some better sliding
action.

the ones im riding are actually even softer. the Abec 11 70's
Flashbacks im riding are 75a. Its a super smooth ride (over 30 mph in
a full tuck and there is very little vibration) and you can turn on a
dime. However, they make powerslides very difficult which are a nice
way to slow down when youre going real fast.

wtf, they make ABEC 11 bearings now?

when I skated (inline) a few years ago all I could manage to find were
ABEC 7 and maybe 9 if I got lucky and had a pile of money I didnt like
having.

EDIT: just realized you were talking about wheels there, not bearings

Yep -- ABEC 11 is the company, and the owner, Chris Chaput, is a world
class speed and slalom boarder that also runs Retro and Pink wheel
companies.

And Mornish -- ya gotta accept something other than hard wheeled street
boards -- nothing annoys me more than street boarders that think
bearings actually matter at speed, that longboarders are sissies, or
that you could go faster on hard wheels. I think Banjo and I can
pretty much say that you wouldn't be caught dead going 30+ (like both
Banjo and I do a lot) on wheels any harder than in the 75a-85a region,
unless you were sliding. Not saying you're an arrogant street skater
or anything, I just think derogatory comments suck some serious ball
bearings. 😉
