stairs, tables, anything in an urban environment can be played on.
Playgrounds are great.

benches benches benches (i am bench obssesed)

Palets are awesome if u can get access to them, picnic benches are cool
but tend to be real weak and break (no experience there obv...)

Scafolding poles are great too! also grind rails (for skinnies) i did
jump on a dishwasher that was great actually.

Walls are good too, flower pots... stairs are good too.

I have almost nothing around, so I took to street, but every so often or
so I ride or drive up to a park and unicycle about a mile away.

You're in the same position as me, my Dad won't let me keep pallets
either, he says I won't put them away when I'm done. I just got a
torker dx so I've been looking to practice trial too. Just about a hour
ago I went on my first search ride for something to ride on. I found
this bench at a playground, that was rubber. I tried to learn
crankgrabs on it, I came close but I had to leave because a family was
coming and I put a few little pedal peg marks on the edge. Does anyone
have any suggestions of types of benches to ride on that aren't rubber?
I have a few cement ones around my house but I'm afraid its gonna ruin
my brand new unicycle. I care a whole lot more about my unicycle than
the bench

ahaha i got told once by an old lady that i was damaging a brick ledge
by pedal grabing it, i told her kindly it was actually damaging my
pedal - she walked off not looking too happy.

rubber benches are pretty good (well plastic ones never really seen a
rubber one tbh) cause the ones i use to practice on where black and so
u couldnt really see the marks....

Best thing for pedal grabs are concrete walls. THey just dont give in!
stone walls - u can have the stones fall off - both embarrasing and
dangerous if it lands on your foot. Brick walls - they crumble away but
its not too bad.

But if ur doing crank grabs your going to damage your crank and pedal.
Its known. But the only thing thats gonna happen is small scratches to
the metal anmd the rubbing off of your paint, it doesnt matter - it'll
look more hardcore.
