How much does your uni weigh?
torkerdx wrote: because they are weight wusses. i ride a heavy set up (profiles) and can still hop 98cm. all the pros back in defect rode profiles and the stuff they did is better than most people can do with a light uni.(or a heavy one) I have no doubt you, as well as most riders here, are better then me. Yet it is fact that it takes quality materials and craftsmanship to construct a light, strong uni. Having a lighter-strong, better made uni is the only easy way to improve. The rest is all you, training, practice, injuries and attitude. No matter how hard you work, how much you love the sport, how great your natural and acquired talent, you will have only so much. The idea that this finite bit of greatness should be saddled with a heavy-cheap uni is the sad thinking of a poor man. Buying agreat uni is the easy part. The rest is limited by reality. The uni is only limited by how cheap you are. In any sport, the greats understand this and take the easy way.

Good gear. lol you're supporting your 12lb trials/munis aren't you? hmm, funny, i would have thought that at your level if you're so worried about weight you would go with somthing lighter than any splined uni could ever be, from what i've read you have no need for a super strong one.....(yet) well im supporting MY under10lb modified freestyle uni, (i highly doubt that issac steiner's uni is actually 9 pounds) grrr i wan't evan's uni too now......but im fairly happy with the trials wheelset i switch on and off my freestyle uni..... -- hobo_chuck '  ' (http://www.lost.eu/53187)its not easy beinggold!'

How much does your uni weigh?
Lol ha, ha, ha. Yeah, I am a bit of fat old hypocrite. I admit. I really should be riding an ax20 with a carbon this and that, I suppose. On the other hand, at 185 (down from 200 when I bought the KH!), I figure a heavier model is reasonable. I don't have to jump as hard to break stuff with my fat ass and crude skills etc. My point, as much as I have one, is it's so great to be a uni rider, compared to other sports that cost such serious $. 500$ and you are set up world class, if you know where to buy. When I was young I dreamed of being a motocross racer. I was way to poor. No hope there. But in uni, nothing can hold you back. A world class setup is a few hundred dollars and a stack of pallets away. A serious competitor in many sports must spend 1000$+/day just to show up. Don't save 200$ on your uni and ride a cruder thing that weighs lbs. more. Get a KH, or Koxx, put good pedals on it. It is so cool how anyone can set themselves up with greatness for so little. Of course, we may continue to suck relative to the greats, that is no surprise. But don't handicap yourself with a heavy uni to save 200 $. Good gear is worth the cash. The better you are, the more that is true.  -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63128 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

How much does your uni weigh?
My muni weighs more than ten pounds and less than 20. It's solid and dependable. It's fun to ride. That's all I ask of it. I don't know what my trials uni weighs, partly because I decided to stop riding it. Honestly, I wonder why all y'all care so much about how nice your unicycles are and how much they weigh. If the uni is solid, doesn't break, and is fun to ride, what else matters? feel the light wrote: I have no doubt you, as well as most riders here, are better then me.

Which is why at every major unicycle event I've ever been to, those with the "nicest" munis have always been those who had trouble keeping with the younger, more aggressive riders.
