Should I quit?

Okay... so as lots of you know, I have really bad luck with unicycles.
Every uni I touch seems to shatter by me merely laying a finger on it.
It's not actually that bad but I've been going through waaaaay to many
uni parts lately. Most recently I bent my cranks hella bad, so it's
impossible to trick or drop.
I really love unicycling but I can't afford to keep riding any longer.
I don't want to quit but considering my current income, it seems to be
my only choice. Unless... any of you had a brilliant solution.
Currently, the only one I can think of is "make more money" but I can't
really do that. So... if any of you have some really good ideas... that
would be reallyreallyreally awesome.
If not... 'here's' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3afnKaI1Ig) a video
of what tiregrabs with bent cranks are like.
Thanks, Jackie

Don't do such big drops! That was about six feet right? Don't go so
big.

Well if you like unicycling and you quit, I recon you'll be back
sometime. I stopped a while ago, and i'm back into it more than before.
I recon rather than quit, go easy on it for a bit, try stuff you cant do
that is less stressfull to the uni than what you do now, and when
financial situation is better ride as you do now.

I have a really good uni. It's a Qu-ax frame with Qu-ax cranks and an
Alex DX hub and rim. It's held up to drops up to 15 feet for about a
year. It's good.
I just love to go big. 6-7 is generally where I trick off of lately.
Just that kind of stuff is really tough on the uni and I don't have
much money to replace parts.

And at Pigs, I wouldn't go big so much but big street and muni are the
only styles that hold interest for me.

Thanks, that might be what I'll do...
Just it will probably be about ten years or so until I'll have enough
money again...

His problem is money. How would spending over $1000 on just cranks,
hub, and a frame help his financial situation?

My advice: Switch styles. Go flat. Get a CF base if you have that much
cash and then eventually upgrade to moments which won't die on you.

Is any of the stuff you recently broke under warranty (I'm assuming
not...)?

No worries.

Well my money situation is ****e at the moment, but im not killing
parts here and there, lol, and I have the 2 wheeler to keep me
occupied, till the situation is better. I stopped for maybe 6 years,
didn't own a unicycle in that time at all, started up again maybe last
August, and I'm enjoying it more, I am better, I'm performing
occasionally, and I have people to unicycle with.

If you quit then come back to it, what will you miss in the time you
are gone? How much could you have progressed? We don't know. Now, I
wish I hadn't stopped unicycling for 6 years, I'd be loads better than
I am now.
