I’m about to order a summit trials unicycle and am very excited I’m also very curious as to waht I’ll be able to do. I’ve been riding a classic Torker for about and year and just recently I’m starting to get in to trials. My highest measured drop was 26" with ease, ( I could of gone higher but am looking to sell my current uni and am scared of damaging it), and my highest up is about 2 or 3 risers. I’m just curious as to what the major differences I’m going to feel will be. Anybody know?

I bought a Torker LX and then bought a Summit. It was very different.
First off it looks wild with its huge tire. And it is MUCH heavier.
It will feel very smooth because its heavier and the thicker tire rolls over small bumps. I believe the pedals feel wider. I’m not sure. The cranks are definately shorter so its a little bit slower.
The Torker feels like a sportscar in comparison to the Summit. Light, fast. 
But I ride my summit more.
Initially the weight will feel like its preventing you from jumping, but after you do some trials with the Summit (with lower tire pressure. much lower than you think you need) then the Torker will feel stiff. You won’t get any bounce from the Torker’s tire.
I found no difference in doing stuff like one footing. There was no transition period for me. One thing that is different is that the Torker flat crown is much higher than the Summit.
I can’t think of anything else. I have not done too much trials because the summit came with a Viscount and I haven’t bought a seat with a handle yet.
wait, did you say “order”? Where did you find one, and do they have any more??

Rayden,
I heard it was quite heavier in comparison, but you do get used to it right?
Tennis,
I think I talked to you before about this. I bought it from an NSLBS (not so local bike shop) over the net. I waiting for a reply about another one in California, so if there’s any return on that one I’ll contact you.
If anyone else has anything to relate in regards to switching unicycles please share.
Thanks,
David
I got used to riding it. Carrying it is still a pain.
Ha I’m not worried about that.
Re: I’m excited…
What are risers?

(not sure if this is what he means, but…)
riser - the vertical part of a stair step
Risers are pallets. Sorry. I thnk it was just one of those things that you name yourself, and asume everyone else knows what your talking about.
