A whole lot of help! thanks.

Someone (sorry i just dont remember and whiel im typing this message...) said that i should only get the 2 wheeler if im a uni nut and i am. Most of you know that i street perform so i think the 2 wheeler and the 3 wheeler will look fantastic! Im sure ill make more money...to buy more unicycles of course! Its just im not very good at idiling yet although ive been riding a uni for 2 years! I hope i can get tyre pressure rite im sure ill find the rite pressure.

Did I mention that i ride a 5 foot giraffe? (well the seat post is like down as low as it goes so probably not completely 5 foot)

It's really fun, i can't free mount it, i never tried to be honest, but i can ride one footed... I tried to ride it with 2 wheels... IT'S REALLY HARD.

Riding a 3 wheeled unicycles you can win a lot of money compared to a normal girafe (in my opinion is more impressive). But in a normal giraffe you can do some tricks. I think that was Dustin Schaap who did a unispin with his giraffe in a K1 movie.

5 wheels! wow. id like to see a pic or vid of you riding it.

2 wheeler vid. Not great quality, and might wanna flip the monitor or your head on its side, lol. It's 4 clips of progress from 2 hours solid trying to ride it.

thanks.

I just remembered, I very much would like to know how many people in the world that can ride a 2-wheeler cos if i can tell my school, friends, class, and publlic that only say...50 people can do this in the world...!

And can you free mount a 3 wheeler like i can mount my 5 foot giraffe? ( sorry for more questions... )

Not to be discouraging but if you aren't good at idling yet then you might not be ready for a 2 wheeled giraffe. I have never tried one but I imagine you need to be very comfortable with riding backwards first on a normal uni.

i can idle and i can ride backwards.

im good with backwards but with idiling, i can stay idiling but my wheel always moves side to side. I can idle a bit better on my giraffe cos its easier. thanks for the advice though. And il probably try riding the 3-wheeler first cos as ive heard, the 2-wheeler is hard.

Go to go 2 school soon so after i come back there mite be more answers, although heeps have been answered already.

Well, to the best of my knowledge, a year or so ago, there were only 3 competent riders in the UK (two of which were called Roger, so I guess that helps). I'm sure lots more have tried, and have probably had varying amounts of success. Personally, I've tried, and come to the conclusion it is impossible.

If you're wanting to do it to perform, then as far as the general public is concerned, a 3 wheeler is much more impressive. They won't appreciate the complete mind-twist that a 2 wheeler does to a unicyclist, and will just like the fact that 3 wheels is better than 2.

Not sure if you saw in my post but I said I can't running mount(or step up) my 3 wheeler, the tire pressure I like allows the tires to slip when I try to running mount and I haven't got the coordination to step up on the 3 wheeler before it falls. All this talk about 2 wheeler unicycles having very few competent riders is making me want to go try to master the 2 wheeler. I wonder how strange it would feel to be wheel walking it forward and be moving backwards.

EDIT: I found a pretty good video of a guy at Mondo Fest 2 years ago riding a 2 wheeler he even idles it and wheel walks it.

Oh Wow! I didn't really watch it the first time just saw what Gilby was doing and linked it! I took a second look and BAM! I recognized him.

I'm pretty sure there was somebody on a 2 wheeler at MUni Fest in 2007. It was really cool to watch him ride A bit of a thread jack, but how much would two extensions cost? (so I could ride with three wheels)

The Nimbus Wheel Extention Kit costs 150 US dollars. I thik that's too expensive. A good welder can easily make it for you.
