Today at about 6:45 pm eastern i was riding my unicycle at city hall, and i went off of a 2 and a half foot drop and bent my rim really bad. I was trying to do a 180 off of it and i only got about 90 degrees out of it. When the wheel hit the ground, it kind of planted, because it was grass, then my body, and the rest of the unicycle kept turning. Not good. It was a fun session today though. I made another video. Shorter this time, but much better.
I fell in the water during the video also. Pretty funny. By the way it was a 24" Sun that bent.
Just curios, but why don’t you ever post the web address as a link? I like one clicking rather than having to click and paste.

If that’s the rim on your Sun unicycle, you might want to get a
complete new wheelset. The hub will break next if you do drops like
that - at least mine did.

I should have taken a picture of it. It was really bad. But right when my dad came home he straightened it out somewhat. He said we can take it to the autopart store and get it straightened out perfectly.
