Just to specify, by street riding do you mean just riding around on the
street or do you mean doing big tricks and jumps?

Just get a torker lx. Its a perfectly good begginer cycle. It will allow
you to learn how to ride and do some tricks. If after you decide you
want to do 7 foot drops or something than you can get a better
unicycle.

I had a torker cx for 2 years before upgrading. Its good to get a
begginer unicycle first because you can find out what style of riding
you prefer. Theres no point spending 300 dollars on a trials unicyle to
find out that you really prefer distance or freestyle. Unless you know
for sure you want to do street i would get an lx. But if you are sure i
would get a nimbus ISIS. even tho its 45 out your price range.

+1

If you're going to do street riding you still have to set a good
foundation of riding skills or you will do poorly.

Good to hear. The Torker LX is fairly cheap. Why 20" though? That seems
small.I was thinking 24".

A 20 is more manuverable(sp) and easier to jump with. If your interested
in street you want a 20". A 24 is much faster than a 20 but it is alot
harder to do tricks on one.
