Still, what is being asked is do you want to do trials riding, street
riding, or freestyle riding? This will determine what kind of unicycle
will be useful for you.

Ya, i didn't see the last one before yours, but I kind of want to get
something that would allow me to try each kind, because I'm only going
to be doing basic riding, but above everything, I'm interested in basic
trial or street, I just want something that will hold up.

Nimbus trials(the ISIS version) when they come back into stock (If you
are in the US). Many people will tell you need KH cranks, but if you
just want to do basic riding, the nimbus cranks will be fine. KH are
much stronger, but nimbus are fine for entry level riding.

Do you want to do much hopping and dropping stuff, or any tricks other
then on flat ground?

I know I can hop for quite a while on the one I have, and I'd like to
try going off something, but probably nothing over a couple to a few
feet.

I predict that if you master a 2 foot drop, you will try a 2.5 foot
drop. Then 3 feet. Then more. As you master skills (uni, biking,
skiing, whatever), it is just human nature to try to go a little
faster, higher, further than before. With drops, If you currently have
a 2-3 foot goal, get something that will hold up to larger drops. Or at
least know that the cranks (and other parts) will break and be prepared
to upgrade as needed.
