im 14 and weigh about 125, i can ride a regular unicyle on a flat surface and am starting to work on hills. i really want to get into Muni riding, but dont know which one would be best. Any ideas on what kind of muni would be best for a 14 year old 125 pounder with an inseam of 32 whos been riding for about a month.
thx a bunch
Any uni with a 24" wheel and 3" tire and comfortable seat would be great.

If you can afford to get splined cranks/hub, it’ll probably be your most economical option in the long run, although it would make the initial price signifigantly more
If you are absolutely sure your gonna stick with unicycling and you know you wont stop or change your mind or anything I’d spend the money to get a high quality mountain unicycle. Otherwise, if you buy a low-end MUni you will end up buying a better one after you either brake or get serious about things. Unicycle buying is very addictive. I’d look around, see what you really really like. Spend the money for it and be happy for the rest of your life. Splined hub/cranks, a good rim, and a 3.0 tire are the main concerns for a decent MUni. Although some like the torker with a thinner tire. There are many pre-existing threads that talk about buying MUni’s. This one for example -
Just do a search with the words “Buying New MUni” and a bunch of stuff should turn up for you.
try riding off road on what you have, it will be much more difficult than on a normal muni but you will get an idea of what you are getting into.
