Unicycle Problem, Pedals slip

Sometimes my pedals turns, while my wheel doesn't, mostly when I apply
too much pressure, like right before UPD, but also when hopping a little
wrong, and while I was attemting sif hops and unispins. The pedal turns
and so does the hub, the wheel (with the spokes and the ring towhich the
spokes are connected in the middle) stays stationary. I have a Luxus 20´
Any help? anyone has the same problem and/or a solution?

Sounds like your crank is stripped?

I would say it sounds like his flanges (The discs where the spokes
atach to the hub) have come apart from the axle.

Your cranks stay in the same position to one another? but not to the
rim, spokes and tyre?

I think an updrage might be needed.

Is ther a solution, easy and cheap, or should I just buy a new one?

If so, what kind should it be?
I like:
-Street (Like, grinds, staircases, etc.)
-Flatland (Like, yeah, flatland )

I don't like:
-mUni

Whats the best type, brand and wheelsize?

You also have to know, I still suck in unicycling, I've only just
landed my first unispin. If I say I like grinds, I mean, I want to be
able to do them, not that I like doing thme, because I can't

Wow. A 20 foot unicycle is really big. It sounds as if the hub flanges
are no longer attached to the axle. I don't know if this is a keyed
press fit or a welded joint for your hub. Regardless, it sounds as if
the minimum required work is buying a new hub and re-lacing the wheel.

sounds like a cheap uni, i'm guessing a unicycle that SUN has rebranded
(the only uni's that i've heard of with this problem)

your options:
get a new wheelset(~$30 if you can find one at a good price)
get a new unicycle (~$80-100)
or a beastly new unicycle -$250 +

It's a Qu-ax, and I was told it was an okay unicycle.. It's not that I
trashed it either, it already had it.

If you want it to last you need something w/ a strong splined hub,
not a light-weight "splined" hub like the one on this 'uni'
(http://tinyurl.com/3euwly)

What's your max budget? Prices range from about $300-450 EUR.
