Josephine Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I've been known to dabble in it. Can gap a coupla feet and up 18". I'm gonna have to recommend a proper 'trials' one. I built a 19" rim into a budget one with my good friend Stephen's help (OK so he did it all! ;) ) and the cranks aren't up to it, they're a teensy bit bent and twisted now (though the tapers are fine (Y) ). Erm, not that much more to it than that. Quick tip for when you're learning to gap, resist the urge to kick, 'cos you'll end up flat on your face :).

Loosemoose` Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 He is richard from southampton uni :lol: On here, Loosemoose`. Hey hey! Fame! Next comes fortune, or so I am told... I do unicycle trials and street, been doing unicycling in general for about 3 years. I started with Muni and moved on to trials 8 months ago. I like to think I'm ok at it, and I love to hear other people trying it out, and I like meeting other riders. Loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricalum Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 It takes around 2 solid days work to get the hang of it. Iv been riding for coming up to 3 years now. Not really doing much trials specific stuf until about 2-3 months ago. But it didn't last long as the wheal bent whilst hoping off a 4 foot wall. So I wouldn't recomend getting a normal unicycle to do trials on because it will break. For christmas im thinking of getting a proper trials one though.
