I would suggest learning to hop. It's very useful and allows you to learn many other tricks and skills.

Hopping next for sure. Then, when I was where you are now, I started working on wheel walking. Others will probably disagree, but it helped me alot with correction balance.

I'm kinda at the same place your are haha. I can hop now, I'm trying to learn backwards riding, and idling. Try some new mounts too, there fun!

Haha, I'm literally right there with you. I can hop fine with either foot in front. I can spin around in a few hops, and I can idle. After this, I dunno! One footed? Wheel-walking, uni-spins? Who knows!? :P

You should play Out the Game. The super beginner game just started again, and we could use more people.

Thank you guys for the tips. I am currently learning to hop on my uni. Though i don't think this SUN can handle the stress of jumping . Yeah i know its a far from a decent uni but it was what i had.

Im also asking about a decent inexpensive uni that can be used for casual travel as well as some minor tricks such as hoping

What unicycle do you guys recommend?

I'd suggest a Nimbus unicycle. A Nimbus II would be good for travelling short distances and you could hop as much as you want as long as you don't hop of anything really high. A Nimbus Touring would be good if you wanted to travel longer distances, and would be fine to hop on flat ground or off of curbs.
