'trails' or 'trials'?

If you want to race in a 24" class, then it is probably a good idea to
get a 24. If you want to do 'trails' then a 24" is great. For 'trials'
I would recomend a 20".

If you are going to race seriously like at NAUCC, you need to go to the
USA(unicycle society of America)website for official rules and
regulations regarding racing. As for trails, I ride a 24 in. Torker DX
for Muni and it works fine.

i have went to the NAUCC website and they said that if i raced in my age
group the biggest size tire you can have is a 24" and i think if
everyone had a 24" and i used me 20" it wouldn't be that fair. i meant
trails and i will be needing to keep up with bikes because thats what
all my friends would be riding only because they have no uni and they
aren't good at riding a uni anyways unless they practiced.

If you're going to be riding with bikes, you might want to consider a 29
or even a coker. 24" just doesn't have the circumference to keep up
with a MTB rocketing down a trail, and a larger-sized wheel will lessen
the pain.

also i would really like to get a 24" trails were i could do a little
bit of muni and jump on and off of rocks while i am out in the woulds.
the main thing is i just don't wont to be like a hour and a half or
two hours after them when i finish. i can beat most of the people that
i would be riding with on a mountion bike easy. the last time we went
only about four or five beat me and that is because a girl that i was
riding with fell asleep right beside of me and ran into me
