Sorry, I just scanned your post, didnt really read it. Anyway, good choice and I think that the other guy should go KH too. But you have to understand that you have excelled a great deal since you have been riding, plus you could be riding the KH way harder than you did the Torker. Which proves that the Torker breaks under minor stress, and the KH breaks or bends in your case under extreme stress.
Yeah the KH is the best stock uni but the DX isn’t nearly as bad as you make it out to be. Seems like you are just trying to justify the $1,500 you just spent on making your unicycle when someone could spend a 6th of that and get a decent uni. Some people can’t justify spending $1,500 on a unicycle and for them the DX is a perfect ride, its a solid ride and strong in all respects (yes even including the frame). I’ll be upgrading to a KH soon but my DX has served me very well for the time I’ve had it. I bought it used and its gone through two riders and the only thing which has broken is the seatbase, which believe it or not is the same one in the KH. If any of you out there can’t afford a KH or a more expensive unicycle then do not fret, the DX is an excellent unicycle which will hold up to your abuse and serve you well. It is not “terrible” or “horrible” in any respect. People will complain about the weight but it hasn’t stopped me from learning crankflips, double flips, 360 unispins, out spins, hickflips, various flatland tricks and countless others. Also, the stresses Skrobo was putting on his DX were certainly not minor, he did some really retarded stuff on that unicycle, side hopping down 11 sets. If anything what he delt to the DX was worse than what the KH has received now that his form is improving
erm
sidehop down the 11 set was on the KH, and I landed it straight.
I agree with Brian. I’ve had my DX for almost two years now and it is still working fine. Mine did have that frame issue that has supposedly been fixed on the newer models, but other than the frame nothing has broken. All of the components are plenty strong for what I put them through.
I have riden a KH and the differences seem very minor to me. As long as my DX is still in working condition I won’t be buying an expensive upgrade, the difference in weight isn’t worth the extra $200.
(But if you want one for trials then I wouldn’t recomend the DX anyway. The cranks are too short…)
hahaha:D. That’s funny to me for some reason. Anyway, yea, i’m get the kh. I’m about halfway there. I’m just sad that aebikes kicked their price up to 499.99 like everyone else. But like I said, I don’t want to have any regrets. thanks for all of the input guys.

To understand A E Bike
Be sure to read both of the long A E Bike threads. Especially Cullins Posts.
May save you $ on a KH. Also, if cash is tight, consider buying a used Torker cheap. Riders buy a KH or Koxx second and might sell their first uni real cheap.
Koxx from renegade is worth checking out.
very true, i just got mine and love it!
Were the spokes bad?
no,spokes were tight and all.
the nipples suck, i broke 4 of them in 1/2 while doing a slight true to the worst part of the rim.
DX is a great uni period. I have done 5foot drops plenty and other much much more and it has held up great. The weight is not that big of a deal I mean 2-3pounds is going to make a huge difference?! If your a pro maybe, but yeah the weight is not a big deal if it is for you go out to a gym and work out your legs. Also about the weight how about instead of a drilled rim you just take a shit before you ride and wear a skin tight suit like some trial like riders do in competition to cut weigh/drag.
uni weight is much more important then rider weight
Whenever you try to spin the uni, it also spins the rider. It’s that “every force acting on an object will be opposed by an equal and opposite force” thing. A 100 lb rider will be effected by this twice as much as a 200 lb rider. 
Just growing stronger or losing weight is not the answer.
uhhh
the weight makes a huge difference.
i hopped 4-6" higher w/in a week of getting my KH
just E-mail em and they sell same price as before…duh…
if not its worth it to buy from UDC…
It’s a long story
But yeah, if you email Cullen he should shave more then 100$ off msrp.
Also, consider that if you buy a used Torker for 100$, you should be able to sell it later for the same. Teach a friend to ride and sell it to them etc. Weight isn’t a big deal for a beginner. If you buy a lighter uni once you start to do more advanced tricks it should all work out good.
wait a second. First off, who is cullen, I looked at the ae bike threads and couldn’t find any of his posts’. And how do i save myself a hundred dollars!? Could someone elaborate on this please. Thanks

Cullen posted from A E Bike on this thread
Weight was prolly a factor. I am willing to bet through there was also a physiological factor involved.
I think you mean “psychological” factors.
I also agree w/ Brian.
Even if you did break the frame (extremely unlikely on the 07), they have a lifetime waranty, and a one year waranty on everything else.
You are more likely to break the seatbase or post, but you could do that just as easily on any other standard equipment.
For most people the weight doesn’t make a lot of difference. But for some it’s worth it. MTBers often spend an extra $1000 w/ the main benefit being a pound lighter.
I agree the stock seat isn’t that comfortable but you can modify it w/ the help of the thread someone posted.
get a koxx one… they look better
