No Body Armour

I just started uni'ing and I'm wondering whether to buy some shinguards.
Are they worth the money?

Yes, they are very much worth the money.

You should get the new Kris Holm ones, or 661 4x4s.

Very worth it. =p

I wear them every time I ride, cause even when im not doing a gap or
muni, or technical stuff, I still sometimes get in some weird wreck
with the pins stabbing into my shins. Luckily, I had the shin guards
on.

You will find out soon enough...


Just riding around you probablly won't need shin pads all that much,
but when you start doing tricks or riding more aggresivly you won't
need to ask... You'll know when you need them.

What style of unicycling are you doing?

Freestyle or regular riding doesn't need shin guards or leg armour.
For trials, muni, and street riding you'll want some sort of leg
protection and probably also gloves.

if you have pinned pedals you need them. if you're running plastic
platforms, you should be fine without.

It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards. KH.
