when do you say stop! (drops)

I am wondering what people think about drops i used to love them but now
i have stoped at about picnic table hight as I don't want to kill the
hub and cranks in my trials. when do you think that you will stop or
when have you stoped.

practice rolling out on impact.

My Suzue/Kooka's were taking 4.5 footers with no problems at all.

As you get older, the question will change. It is not, "Will my
unicycyle survive?", but "Will I survive?" --chirokid--

It depends a lot on the unicycle you have. I've done five footers on my
KH20, but no higher than that because it's scary. :-P
But Kevin McMullin(sp?) has done something like ten foot drops on the
KH, and it appears to be holding up well.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

When I was learning drops I stopped at 18" because I was bending cranks.
Once I got a splined axle I went to 32" (picnic table) pretty quickly.
For now I have a self-imposed limit of 36".

At this point in my life I want to get better, not go bigger.

UniBrier - Its Time to Ride

The Roadrunner or Ground Cuckoo can run at speeds of up to 15 miles per
hour (24 km per hour). It rarely flies and does not migrate. When it is
in danger, it runs or crouches to hide.

Like someone's signature says, it won't hurt if you land it.
I think it's Tugboat's. Anyway, it's true. If you land incorrectly, then
it will hurt a bunch. But it's not too easy to land incorrectly. You
should just land with both feet parallel to the ground, and then roll
out of it.

i get scared of drops over 4' and havent had the bottle to try one yet,
also im really worried about damaging my uni beacause my landings could
be alot smoother, i know that if i damage my hub then i wont be able to
afford to get back into trials for a while
