    i have been unicycling for 5 months now and the pedals are braking in
    half on my unicycle instead of buying new pedals im going to spend a
    little more cash and buy a free style unicycle with a 20in wheel right
    now im looking at the Yuni 20-inch Journeyman any feed back on that
    unicycle will be good and any advice on wut unicycle i should buy.😄

    Why would you need one wheel when you have the best transport of them
    all...the reindeer-powered sleigh.

    What kind of unicycle do you have right now? Getting the Yuni Journeyman
    might not be that much of an upgrade. Also what kind of riding do you
    do and what kind of riding do you hope to do. If you keep breaking
    petals I don't know that the Journeyman would hold up to the abuse that
    you are dishing out.

    With more information what country you live in and a price range we
    could recommend a unicycle for you

    In the mean time go buy yourself either some cheep metal platform
    pedals or Odessy Twisted Plastics. They should hold up to some abuse.

    'I think this should fit the bill'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1052)

    If I were to buy a freestyle this would be it.

    It is even on sale.

    the seat clamp🙂

    I have a Nimbus X and it's hard for me to keep my foot on the frame
    (crown's too narrow). It's easier on my rounded crown learner.

    I've never tried it but I think I'd like the 'Nimbus II'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1056) but w/ a
    longneck frame better.

    I think it'd be better if the crown weren't rounded front to back, but
    like the older Nimbus X or Semcycle style crown. I think the width is
    a bigger problem for me, so the Nimbus X Street frame might be good.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    If riding the unicycle seems impossible at first, that only proves
