[ScottyD]

Hey guys.... aussie from down under here getting into the spirit.
I got my first uni off ebay and typical ebayians, the wheel buckled a few days later.

anyways..... i currently have an 18" wheel but im planning on extending the forks another 2" and just under the seat another 2" higher. then i will be able to put a maxxi tyre on it and also fit me a bit better.....
so...
has anyone ever tries this before?

Sounds like it would work. But if you want a great, durable learning unicycle. Get the Torker Unistar LX 20-inch (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=634). That one's wheel wont buckle the first few weeks.

Welcome to the forums!

Hello, and welcome.:D

I reccomend that you get an LX like Poseidon said. If you get that it will last you longer and when you get a bit better it will allow you to do bigger drops than a normal learner would.
