What is the difference between a regular unicycle and a squid unicycle?

I would say the regular two-tube fork design would be best. The squid
style has too much extra metal and more places to hurt your knees on.

Depending on his height, you may want a Torker CX 16" or 20".
Definitely better than that squid monstrosity.

I'm assuming this monstrosity.
http://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-R6957...8354690&sr=8-2

To answer your question,
_Pros_
-Decently priced at $50 (you get what you pay for)
-It has a cool looking (yet totally unnecessary) frame design
_Cons_
-Made by Mongoose (not a unicycling company)
-Weighs a ton
-According to Amazon reviews, they ship with wrong parts or without
parts entirely
-Other unis like the Torker LX and CX are much better options

if you can afford it, get the torker lx, if this is out of your price
range, the cx is also decent, however it is well worth the small price
difference for the lx. it would definitely be one of the best options.
(sun unis are similar in price to the torker lx, however the components
are more similar to the cx; lower strength and less quality for your
money)
