Now swap it for a 29" 
My girlfriend is 28 years old. does it count? 
on a sidenote i still can hop upstairs (one step at a time) and crangrab->hop a 50cm wall. now i can also climb some hills with the 170mm crankset (the cross had 125mm) My speed also improved 
Today I had a fun ride along the top of the river stop bank, gravel track with a few puddles. Very carefully lined up the route through one puddle and then UPD in front of it so landing feet first in it… Later I had UPD and landed on my shoulder, first time in ages I’ve actually hit the ground. Had enough mud on me to ensure that anybody seeing me would know I had been communing with mother nature 
Was a good day
ps; what’s the past tense form of UPD? :o
Had a UPD?
UPDd?
It’s a noun. I did a UPD.
Seven year-old new rider
Posting for my kid who’s learning to ride:
Not bad! The wood block under the pedal looks like a good way to get going.
Wood block
The wood block is the perfect height and it would avoid getting him hooked on mounting from a fencepost!
Very good!!
Wow!! you are doing great! Maybe that is what I need to get going better, a block like you have. I have been trying to learn for awhile now and I wish I could go like you!!
Can I revive this for us noobs? Today I rode over bumps and also over loose gravel…
Unusually, the gravel was a very stable slow ride.
Today I rode about 3 miles of trail and even conquered a teeter totter .
Now I need to rest 
!!
Today I . . .
Today I . . . signed up to a Unicycle forum to learn more before i buy my first one wheeled ride. I’m a big boy at 6’ 280lbs. I like the Nimbus II ISIS but I can’t decide between 20" and 24". Any suggestions, oh wise ones.
24 all the way for size and weight
Hey all. Today I joined your wonderful forum. I’m a 58 y.o. level zero. A week or so ago I got my new Nimbus 26" muni. I have it here in my office. The hallway has been great, I can keep a hand on each side and pedal back and forth pretty well, but my landlady doesn’t like the tire marks on her wallpaper. There’s not much room in my office so I guess I’ll take it home and let my wife and kids laugh at me. I got it for the conditioning aspect and I’m surprised how much physical effort it actually takes.
Welcome to the forum fellow noobs, Fun king and Logan! 
Logan, the Nimbus II is great. I got one for Christmas and it seems awesome for as long as I’ve ridden it…
Today I freemounted and rode 25 revolutions with two turns thrown in as well…
I vote for the 24" since you’re tall enough. You’ll probably like the extra speed once you figure out how to ride it.
HopHophopHopHopHop
Today I hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hopped after freemounting and rode off.
And yeah Logan, I’m 5’7 and learned on the 24. You at 6’ should be just fine.
Awesome. Thanks for the tips. I’m gonna go with the 24" and wrist guards cause I think I’m gonna fall down . . . . A LOT!!!
24 all the way. I am 6’ and weighed in at 220 it turned out to be the perfect starter for me.
Keep practicing and you will drop weight in no time. I still eat and now weigh in at 180+ thats only after 8 monthes of having fun and getting stronger.
Peace,

No longer quite a newbie, but over on the other brag thread they’re busy doing 540s and backflips, so can I butt in here? My brags are things a newbie should be able to aspire to in a few months (it’s less than 3 months since I managed 100m without UPD).
Yesterday I rode, hopped a 180, rode, hopped another 180 and rode off.
