Yes, I was on a road trip across the country, and alas, I left my unicycle at a pitstop, didn’t realize until I was 400 miles away, when I poped open my trunk to take it out for a spin, I was in disbelife.
So i’m looking to buy another unicycle, but now I live on my own, and am going to school next fall, and can’t really afford much, but am looking to buy a used unicycle.
I ride trials/street, so i’m looking for a uni with a phat tire, and a splined hub, I’ve been thinking about just buying a torker DX since its in my price range, if you got a used DX I might consider it, but It needs to be a 05" model because I want the extra wide frame for when I have some money latter I can update the rim.
Please message, or email me, I"M DESPERATE! I’m dreaming about unicycleing.
I pulled a bonehead move like that one morning, pre-coffee, I parked my uni at a bus bench and waited for the bus by sitting (rather than my usual ww practice)… I then proceeded to get on the bus and ride up to school. Once I disembarked, I realized my folly, ran up to the lab, and found the first willing victim to drive me back to the bus stop. Luckily, it was sitting just where I left it (30 mins earlier). Phew!
PM me if you’ve got PayPal and I’ll send you $10 to help out with the replacement… gotta look out for my homies! C’mon, folks, let’s help a brother out!
Yeah… It sucks not having a uni, whats really a bummer is right before i moved I had plenty of money, living with my parents and all, so I could of just replaced it, but now, I have no such luck… I’m not looking specificaly for a DX either though. DX is just about the only thing I have money for to buy new, but i’m looking for just about anything used resonably priced, i’m willing to pay more for a used KH or bedford. Mainly because one of those used will be cheaper in the long run, i’ll probably be breaking things off of the DX pretty quickly.
That’s a huge bummer. What was the uni you lost? I’ll send up a prayer to the God of uni (Uni Loki) before I go to bed.
It sounds exactly like something I’d do. I’m in two minds as to whether to take a uni to Glastonbury as it’d be a perfect oppurtunity to misplace/forget a unicycle…

The rule of Glastonbury: “Take only what you can afford to lose”
Sounds like a uni is a BAD idea - even though it’d be great for getting
around the site. I actually rode a unicycle for the first time at Glasto
in 1993. In the circus field they had a few on loan. I spent an entire
day, on grass (the stuff on the floor, not the stuff in a pipe), really
rough ground and managed about 20m by the end of it!
I met a lad there last year with an Onza trials uni. I took my old ringmaster with me last year but I was working with Greenpeace last year and had somewhere safe to stash it.
I’ve got a bit of a plan to take my death robe and ride around on my uni under the robe so it looks like I’m hovering and freak out people a bit worse for wear…
