Do you need lots of skill to justify this uni

[Sir Falloffalot]

hey ok i've only been riding for 1 year on and off but very seldom, do i ride cuz my saddle hurts my man regions(not my balls but the area underneather there)and i currently have a norco uni:P(the only one i could find in town) ok now my skillz are very minimal dude to barely riding tho i thing i catch on pretty quickly. I am 15, 145 pounds and 6 feet tall. Do you think that i should get a kh 20 trials if i have the money?
Everyone says that it makes riding like soo much easier and my local bike stoer have a kh 24" cross country in and i test rode it and it was like butter. So what do you all think ?

Ps just so you know im not terible i can idle, ride backwards kinda, jump up down curbs, jump down stairs and do like 2 foot drops

Thanks in advance

I say go for it!

I used to ride a Sun classic. The saddle would kill me, when jumping, and practicing freestyle, I just couldnt do it much cause the pain would be too much.

Once I upgraded to my DX, everything got better, the seat I can, and still do sit on for hours at a time, its so much smoother, a little heavy but to me it feels like im jumping with a LX, it was extremely worth it.

You dont need to be a great rider, going big and doing flips to get a good uni. If I could go back in time, I would of bought a KH uni as my first uni to learn on, that would of saved some money and increase my learning time for other things, and its just a great uni. =p

[blackbike]

it would be an awesome uni to get. because if you buy a cheap uni and learn quickly you will regret buying the crap one and want a better 1.
just make sure that you want to uni in the future cos you dont want to spend 500 bucks then realise you hate unicycling

EDIT: Jerrick beat me :)

[Sir Falloffalot]

yea alright thanks soo much. and i definatly LOVE unicycling and everything that goes with it. I also want a 36" for transportation and a bc wheel. I think im goign to get the bc wheel for christmas:D:D

well thanks abunch

[gordito8me]

you definately don't have to be a good unicyclist to get a good unicycle (not saying that you're bad). So don't hold back.

[mornish]

I think you might want to go with one of the new KH 24s instead. it would suite your height more.

[maximus unius]

It depends on what he wants to do on it.

[Sir Falloffalot]

i'd like to get into trials. Tho i do have a badish knee but its slowly getting better but it does give me bouts of pain like it is right now:P(i ripped my anterior crutiate ligament playing basketball)yea thats why i want the 20", then would come the 24" when i get a job next semester for Muni:D:D

[Sir Falloffalot]

oh and one more thing. To quickly put things in perspective for you, when i said i had riden very little in the past year aka since i got my uni i mean i've only riden it like only 15 hours or less IN 1 YEAR *tear* and very little of that was practice time, most of it was just riding so thats why my skillz seem rather minimal

[mornish]

I have a friend(mango on the forums) who does crazy trials, street, and muni all on a 24 by 3 muni. he got rid of his trials becuase he liked his muni more.

[Sir Falloffalot]

hmm but the KH 20" would still fit me right? cuz im more into trials that Muni cuz the closest awesome place to Muni would be a 25 minutes drive and i dont have a lisence. and would you recomend a 05, 06 or 07?

[iridemymuni]

yeah it will fit you. i,m 5'6 or so and had to cut my seatpost down a bit.

i'd reccomed an 07 cause theyre the newest and probably the best of all the KHs.

but if you get a cheap enough one the 06 is still great.

07 : )

[Sir Falloffalot]

alright i was gettin a bit worried when mornish said that the 24" would be better for my height whewph im glad the 20" will fit me good cuz thats what i really want:P

[iridemymuni]

yeah dont worry about mornish :p hehe

ive got the 07 kh frame, street saddl, aluminium post and seat clamp and i am loving them !

you'll love yours too !

[Sir Falloffalot]

how big / tall are you?

[iridemymuni]

5 foot 5 inches

148 pounds.

i cut the seatpost down about 2 - 3 inches

[onewheelinwierdo]

buying an expensive uni will motivate you to use it as much as you can. I feel bad when I don't have a chance to ride my DX and I only paid 250 for it!

[dan de man]

not my balls but the area underneather there)Thanks in advance
are yes that area is called the gooch

[blackbike]
