Hi guys - a new guy in unicycling

Hi guys, i’m a newbie from Singapore (its a small island in Asia).
Surfed the net and bumped into this website.

I started learning last week. Got myself a 24 inch unicycle. I’m interested in learning trials in the future. Is a 20" or 24" more recommended for trials? And for the tires, how thick should it be? Should it be slick (like hookworm?) or knobbies (kenda nevergal?)?

Thanks. :slight_smile:

it should be a 20", big, thick, and knobby…
I’ve heard that kenda is more of a muni tire…however, the 06 DX comes with a good tire…I recommend that as a first trials uni…it’s mine, and I love it
That being said…
welcome to the forums!

also, if you need a good tutorial for learning, go to Matt’s Unicycling Journal

Since I never introduced myself, my name’s Alex…nice to meet you

Welcome.

Thanks alex, im alvin. :slight_smile:

Unicycling is one of the rarest sport in my country. It is so pathetic that there is only 1 shop that brings in 4 models of cheap-taiwan unicycles.

Any friends here have recommendation for online stores that ships worldwide (in particular, south-east asia)?

welcome alvin. I am the one known as abbabibble. yet another guy in unicycling. You’ll love teh sport. It’s a great core workout. If you love it as much as i do, it’ll end up being a lifetime sport.

welcome to the crew.

unicycle.com perhaps?

your best bet for a good unicycle is probably the internet. of course, the shipping and handling will probably cost more than the unicycle, but if you’re serious it’s probably worth it. welcome to the boards and to the sport hang in there! i know the first week is the hardest.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

next time though, post unicycle stuff in rec.sport.unicycling

Okay, sorry for posting in the wrong forums.

Anyway, i guess i’ve learnt the basics already. I have passed the amercian unicycling levels 1 and 2. Currently learning how to hop.

I think unicycle.com does not ship to asia :frowning:

i gotta hit them all now that GILD has deputized me…

That’s one more of us and one less of them!
