Torker LX 24"

What can I do without breaking this unicycle?

Im getting a little too far ahead of myself but I dont want to break it
before learning the basics. I can't even freemount and I'm going off
curbs. So, what is this unicycle meant to be able to do?

curbs won't hurt it, I think.

What will is anything higher than about a foot to a foot and a half,
depending on how much you weigh, how good your technique is (not too
good, if you're still learning), and various other factors. I think
you'll be fine going off curbs though.

Just make sure you keep the cranks nice and tight. I've been riding
mine off of curbs for 6 months now, and it's fine. But beware of the
park bench calling your name.

I used mine for off raoding, and i did 3 foot drops on it, without
bending anything.

yeah, 2 and a half footers were fine on mine, i guess my roll-outs were
decent
i did break it eventually though, just from repeated drops 1-foot and
higher
when you buy one of those you have to expect to break it eventually
i now have a KH 05 w/ splined cranks (duh) and am not afraid of breaking
anything: i landed a 3.5 foot drop w/ a horrible landing (i landed still
and didn't roll out OR bounce) and it was fine

I want to save up enough money for a really nice one, this was just so I
can see if I can learn, and I'm doing pretty good.

It should be fine. I took my Torker CX off 1 foot drops alot, and it is
still ok. I don't know if my wheight helped or not, I only weigh 130.
