[zfreak220]

basically what the title said. i am hoping to learn soon and would like to know what a good starter uni would be. i have been thinking about the torker lx. opinions or advice please. im planning on riding a lot too, like distance stuff, so i need an all around uni.

the lx is prolly your best bet for a beginner you can upgrade it but not much once you upgrade it enought its not an lx any more but yea...its what i learned on and the one my friends used 2 learn and after 7 ppl learning how 2 ride getting ran over by a motercycle and some skate board jerk trying 2 ollie over it and missed its still in good condition....so yes the lx

im kinda short too(5'2-3"), and the lx has a 400 mm seat post, so will that be okay?

you can cut it with a hack saw or a pipe cutter. but yes the lx is an excellent uni.

Harder to learn on a 20" ?

I bought a 20" savage about 4 years ago and tooled around on it, never getting past 50 meters in a straight line. Recently I decided to give it another go and am wondering if I would be better with a wider wheel as well as taller.

20" are way easyer to learn on and people say skinnyer tires give you more controle but for learning decrese the tire pressure a bit thenit gives you more surface area just keep trying

[bigsamm]

Ok, thanks. I run a ton of air pressure because I'm way heavy. At 6'4 280 I'm wondering what I need to do, aside from eat less cheese burgers. Should I bump air pressure up to a more firm 60psi?

[JUNGAUNI]

it should squash a little when you get on

[trials_uni]

a little not to much...or you could just get a wider tire and run it at the same pressure...but the biggest tire that will fiut on your rim is like 2.2/
