Ok, I got this in February of 04, it is May of 04 now and I can ride fairly well. First off, if you have ever contemplated learning how to unicycle- GO FOR IT- I can't describe how much fun this is and how rewarding it is to be able to do it at all.

Second- there is this crazy growing community of unicyclists out there doing trails, trials, jumps, gaps, and freestyle stuff out there. Check out unicyclist.com to chat with them and take a look at the pics and videos in the gallery. Unicycles are for more than clowns and jugglers!

Anyway. this is probably the cheapest starter uni I would go with. It should last me a year or so before I want something beefier for off-road- and there are great choices out there for that kind of stuff, just not carried by amazon.com yet. Also, you can get away with putting a bigger tire on this for off-road- I switched out the stock 24X1.75 tire for a 24X2.1 schwinn stingray tire, and my guess is that a 24X2.3 would still clear the frame.
