suspension

has any one ever converted a set of b*ke suspention forks for a unicycle
i was in the local bike shop getting stuff for my trials unicycle i look
at the forks on the wall and was thinking how easy it would be to
convert them.i think if you bought 4 bolt + nut and housing sets for the
nimbus 2 from unicycle .uk.com and weld them some how to the bottem of
the forks to make a nimbus style housing any one done it

There have been many attempts at building suspension unicycles, with
various degrees of success...this one comes to mind...

What you described is amost identical to the 'Rock Shox Uni'
(http://www.danyul.com/MUni/pages/rspage.html)

Bedford has some pics of a 'Suspension Yuni Frame'
(http://community.webshots.com/album/80363074LACVwE) but the caption
says it doesn't work. (Is it a real suspension uni or just a rubber boot
over a the frame?)

A quick RSU search finds some success with 'Seat Post Shocks.'
(http://tinyurl.com/rhq4)

I rode a seat post suspension uni at UNICON. It was a mountain uni owned
by one of the Japanese team. I only rode across the practice gym, I
found myself really "bouncing" on the seat with every pedal stroke. The
guy who had it liked it, I'm sure the bouncyness would lessen with
technique.

Why do so many people want to build unicycles with suspension? It
doesn't help too much to have suspension.

when jumping you don't land with you butt you land w/ your feet so that
uni w/suspension wouldn't be all that good
