ok, I already got the squid. I hope it repairs well. I went hoping and
went down two steps and I bend the hub and both cranks. I had it
togehter and was riding it about twenty minutes. that sucked. the frame
is not to heavy for me. it seems ok. I lowered the seat to get some more
jump to it and got up the stairs (before it broke). I need something
heavy duty!. I am 6' 3'' and 250. is there any unis that might handle
it? I have broke to different ones already. I would like to start do
some stunts, because riding around not doing much else is getting
uneventful.

You need some type of splined hub and crank setup. Go for ISIS.

Get the nimbus with kh cranks. Here's the 'Link'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1091) They have a few
colors to pick from. If you have alot of money, maybe go for the kh 08
trials unicycle, the 'longneck'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1270) is really nice
for trials and street. I believe it also saves you weight since you can
cut your seat post down much more. There's no reason to get the shorter
frame, unless you fancy it more, really. Or, if your fine with the
nimbus, a great unicycle (I ride that same set up pretty much) you could
upgrade to a 'carbon fiber seat base'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=259). The kh comes with
both trials and street pedals, but if you get the nimbus you might want
to upgrade for street the 'Ody. Pc's'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1319) are a really
great pedal that many of us ride, they are what come with the kh. For
trials wellgo mg1's are somewhat popular, they can be found on ebay.
Since they are mag. you'll have to take the pins out of one side or
you'll rip them out. I ride Kona jack****s on my trials, they are nice
and grippy.
