I have been trying to figure out a way of making my uni for street
specific rather than very similar to trials. The most obvious change
would be with the tyre, but what do other people do?

I would like to suggest trying to get a smooth tyre into production. I
know that quite a few people shave their tyres to get this kind of
feel.

Do you think we could get a smooth street specific tyre into production
if enough people showed interest in it?

I was thinking something along the lines of a BMX tread pattern but on
a 19" x 2.5" tyre.

This type of thing:

Aww shush, I would have done it eventually. I've always been exited
about how it could be.

Do you guys think it would be easier to learn to crankflip on a 12 or 16
inch wheel?

Cause it's significantly easier to learn triples, quads, and double
variants on them (maybe doubles too).

So I'm not sure whether or not it would be good advice to tell people
to try crankflipping a 12 or 16 inch first...

Could he then do them on a 19/20"? I think the important thing is not
whether they can learn them on the smaller wheel, but whether they can
then transfer that skill onto their normal unicycle. It's no good
learning them on a different unicycle and then not being able to do it
on your own.

I don't think so, because it will be harder on the 20". It's like the 2
handed flips, nobody should learn them.
