Default Sun flat top


I'm just about to order a Blue Sun flat top 20" Unicycle (first
unicycle) and I Was wondering if anyone had heard anything about them.
I am 5" tall and the minimum inseam is 30" would I be able to ride
this?
Thanks

wahahahahahhaha look at the crown on that thing talk about knee bashing


Aside from that it looks pretty good, and you could always buy one of
Ev'ans Fr' (http://tinyurl.com/ytv8vz)ame's. If your hurting for money
it's pretty good but I would lean more towards getting a 'Nimbus'
(http://tinyurl.com/5wlnr).

His frame isn't super light but his uni is. I know it has some flex in
it but I think it is pretty strong.

The nimbus sounds good but the price is right on the sun ft and I don't
even know how to ride a unicycle yet. The nimbus also has a 400mm
seatpost which I think might be a bit long - I'm 10 years old and 5
feet tall. The knee bashing shouldn't be that bad if i wear proper pads
though.

He is fixing the flex with gussets. I get to ride the second prototype,

Stay well clear of all Sun unis. I've had MANY stories of them breaking
after little use. A friend tacoed the wheel on his by going of a curb
and then doing a sharp turn.

A better learner is the Torker LX a bit more $ and a lot stronger, both
not as much as the Nimbus though.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.
Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to
get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

My first unicycle was the Sun ft and it was great. It held up to many
drops larger than a curb. My friend who had the LX bent his cranks
doing a silly 7 inch drop and I did the same thing and mine are fine
(we're about the same height/weight). I would think they are about the
same, strength wise. I learned how to ride and hop up onto curbs and I
highly recommend this uni as a first one. You can always upgrade
later. One thing though. UPGRADE THE SEAT. Painful.

I would go with Torker, they're cheap and reliable and strong. Suns have
a reputation for being easily breakable. I've owned a couple of Torkers
in the past and they've been reliable. My first uni was an LX and it
withstood four and a half foot drops with out anything breaking. Go
with Torker, not Sun.
