SIF Question. But I don't think they are the same old questions.
Is it harder to learn to ride SIF on a 24 inch than a 20 inch? My friend and I both have a Torker LX but he has a 20 and I have a 24. It seemed easier when I was trying to ride SIF on his. And I have heard that it is easier to ride SIF with the seat a little higher. Do they mean like high enough that you can barely ride it seat in or a little higher or a little lower? Or is it just self preference? One more question. For trials you want a 20" tire right? -- uni.rider.13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ uni.rider.13's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13011 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52281

SIF Question. But I don't think they are the same old questions.
generally younger people learn skills quicker than older people. i'm speaking with unitrials1001 (something like that) and he's 13, been riding for a year, and can do 360 unispins, standup ww, and all on a torker cx. It doesnt take much to learn how to ride SIF, just have the seat at a comfortable height, and then, as you're riding, slide it out from beneath you and hold it out front. It takes a bit of practice, but not a terrible amount. You would have more leverage, and, if you use it properly, better 'balance' as you can move the unicycle from side to side more precisely, if you have the seat up higher- Not so high that you can't sit on it and operate the pedals, but just about the highest you find comfortable. Remember, if you're 14 it will likely take you a lot less time to master this than someone who is, say, 40. -- burjzyntski It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day. \"every silver lining has a touch of gray.\" "In summary: You want to make sure your Koxx is hard enough before you start drilling." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ burjzyntski's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10188 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52281
