24 inch street

[Jedimind]

I have both a 20 and 24 inch DX. Since I got the 20 I kinda shelved the 24, but I'm looking to use it. I've heard some discussion of 24 inch street, but looking in this forum for some 24 inch street videos to see what it looks like, I haven't found a thing.

Maybe I was searching for the wrong thing, but can someone direct me to a little street video using 24 inch unicycles?

I know this isn't me posting a video, but I thought it belonged in this forum. If I'm wrong feel free to move it :p

Look up Justin Khose.

[chauncy]

If you search for cruisecontrol in the gallery you will get some 24" and 20" stuff by Justin Kohse. Also, if you can find the trailers for his Evolution DVD you'll see some twenty four stuff in there.

I'll start making a 24" street(and trials) vid as soon as my camera gets here.

[phthoruth]

Look up Justin Kohse.

Justin just moved to my town (Burnaby)... so with a little luck, I'll catch the illusive 24" street rider on film.
When he said he rode his 24" for street, I had to double check. You mean "street", as opposed to commuting. I'd never heard of it.

I only had a 24" for a long time, and learned trials and some street on it. But I wouldnt say its an advantage. Curious..

[phthoruth]

[Brian O.]

ok i got bored, im back to 24 lolWhat tire are you running now Justin? Whats the widest slick 24"?

[Jkohse]

running a holy roller, kinda want the hookworm again

[MuniAddict]

but looking in this forum for some 24 inch street videos to see what it looks like, I haven't found a thing. Well, it isn't exactly street, but I do pretty much everything on my MUni that's *normally* done a 19" trials. Check out my vid I just posted.:)

It looks cool, but I think Hookworm is much better. With Fireball you keep getting pinchflats and the bounce is not so good. Plus, it's not very manouvrable. But it looks cool.

After riding a 19" for a month, going back to 24" felt really weird. I rode it for one day and then went back to the 19" :o

i used to feel that way too when i did that. But ever since ive had the KH, wit the 150's. Everything has been amazing! im hitting all of the same flip tricks but keeping all the speed with the big tire.

I realy admire you that you can flip and spin so good with a 24".
And the rails you do.
Just amazes me.
Keep riding the big wheel Justin, because you kick ass with it :cool:

I swear I saw some other pretty good 24" vid somewhen. I think it was more trials rather than street. It had some trilas lines on a dead tree, if someone could find it that would be great. Sorry I cant be more specific, It was a while ago I saw it and my memory sucks.

I think that was Mangos video. It had no music in it, right?

Um mangos sort of rings a bell, Im not sure about the music. Me memory is shocking, I just remember it being realy good and there being some trials on a strange shaped dead tree.


hmmm...... maybe it was all a dream :o

I saw a decent vid a while ago of a couple of guys on 24's. It was mostly trials on red stacked up picknick tables. If memory serves correct one uni was a Qu-Ax and one an '05 KH on a Dx wheelset.

Thanks for both of those. Do you know how recent that last one was? Does he still ride?

[c9ollie]

24in street seems kinda cool, it would open some more stuff up. like higher speed gaps, wallrides, bigger stair sets. im kinda interested in building a 24in uni now.

There just khose 24" street vid...good video

Does he do right hand, left foot in front, jump to the right? Cause that would be the first time I've seen someone uni the same way I do.

i can do both sides now:D, switch and all that

[cody]

What did you start out doing? I'm practicing everything I learn both ways but it definitely feels more natural with my left foot forward and jumping to the right.

man do not! start off the way i did. i was left foot forward, but i hopped with my right hand to the right. when i learned pedal grab up from my left side it all came in to play. then i learned switch slides. Now i can do both sides, but i prefer side hopping to the left with my right hand ( left foot forward)

Cool, I liked seeing some blunt and 180 grinds on a 24, bigger wheel makes demz scery :D. Lol keeep rockin the 24in street bro. I pussied out and kept the 24in for the trails only, But regular handrails are def easier with a good ole 24. I want to see someone else bust a 540 unispin on one though lol

[Unicaw89]

Lol no kiddin I used to be hardcore into 24 street. but I think now I need to get 24in street uni, my muni just aint quite gonna cut it for that lol. But im also workin on Giraffe street at the moment..Lil scary ;-) Im workin on hittin a handrail lol

Hahaha, you'd barely have to jump at all for the handrail.

[Jkohse]

Hahaha, you'd barely have to jump at all for the handrail.

its not that much of an advantage.....not sure if you can call it an advantage either.... Plus, usually the cranks are longer so theres a wider space between the bearing houseing and the cranks, making it easier for the rail to get stuck inbetween.

and in most cases, the 24" uni is usually heavier then a 20 too, the kh 24"s are pretty light through with the drilled rims, but a 20" kh, drilled, will be lighter.

advantage i think not, even steven to me

[zfreak220]

he was talking about giraffe street.

lol my bad
