start small and work your way up. don't push yourself to do stuff you don't feel comertable with. have fun. and you probaly need a splined hub/crank once your drops become bigger. what type of exstreme unicycling do you want to do? mountain (MUni), trials, street etc,
PS welcome to the forums |

don't do anything that you think you could hurt yourself(badly) doing. start small, going up and down curbs and work your way up, riding down stairs for example.

i found it a git at first, i cant go along and 360, just on the spot. im not confident with 360's on my current unicycle, being a cheapo one the seat flexes a bit when i hold it to spin

that will happen with any seat unless it's a carbon fiber or metal seat.
