@skilewis74

I’d stay away from that third one. The frame looks more like a CX. and there specks are a little wack.

Yeah, you’re right, skilewis. Thanks for pointing that out.

[himmhui]

@himmhui

so, what kind of brand do u recommend?

[B]- Torker

• KH
• K1
• Nimbus
  or
• Qu-Ax[/B]

But it all depends on how much $$$ you have.

[isaac_steiner]

I think you should get the Torker LX in 20". It seems like a pretty good uni.

Hong Kong rocks!

Don’t worry – you won’t hurt yourself when you are learning. (That comes later!) For your first 10-20 hours, you’ll be just getting the hang of riding around on the flat. You won’t fall to the ground – when you lose balance, the wheel just shoots away from under you, and you are left standing, unharmed (or maybe just a little tumble).

So I disagree with skilewis74 – when you are first learning you don’t need helmet, or even pads. As you get better, and can do more, that’s when you should put the protection on.

And hey – you’re from Hong Kong! Look us up when you come back – www.unihk.org. We play unicycle hockey.

While teaching a friend to ride, against my advise, road away from the railing, fell off and broke his wrist. So untill you learn how to UPD consistently on your feet I think a rail and full pads should be used.

Some people always UPD’d on their feet, others frequently don’t (including me, so I always wear wrist guards and helmet-you only get one brain and all it takes is one bad hit and you could wind up dead or a vegetable).

[himmhui]

HELMET is already important
w/o it, we could be dead super easy
anywhere,anytime

[himmhui]

what is UPD’d

[Wheeliefine]

UPD = unplanned dismount (not a fall, just when you have to step off the wheel, eg. after hitting an unexpected bump)

The Hong Kong club has a healthy mixture of young and old, men and women, and assorted skin colours
