New riding video, not unicon related though ^^

https://youtu.be/Ia_Oe43IAr0 20" trials is not underrated, it's impractical. But it's better than not riding at all!

Opinions on GetItOne

I found this https://einradshop.ch/einrad-kaufen-schweiz/einradnaben/1303-getitone-einradnabe-isis-32-loch-mb.html which seems to be a 32 hole unicycle hub. They say it's suitable for trials. Has anyone ever tried them?

Back pain and urban unicycling

On several occasions, I've been afflicted with back pain, both lower and upper back, as a result of unicycling. I think I've figured out how to mostly prevent the upper back pain with proper warm ups and stretches, but I'm currently dealing with some lingering lower back pain. If I'm not mistaken, I've heard that lower back pain is especially common in trials, which is my best and favorite discipline personally. The issue is certainly not helped by the fact that I have a 9-5 desk job and sit like a shrimp all day, but there are tons of existing resources out there for fixing that part of the equation. Anyone have any tips on how to practice urban unicycling with minimal risk of lower back injury? I'm 24 and only getting older so I'm sure I'll need to compensate for my elastic kid body getting less bendy and resilient.

Pro unicyclist?

After 4 years of unicycling and a lot of planning, paperstuff and rehearsing, this weekend i did my first unicycle show (with a salary :P). I did it in a festival near my hometown, and it seems like i'm becoming a professionnal unicyclist (i don't mean i'm the best unicyclist ever, but i'm becoming a full time unicyclist!!!) and i'm sooooo happy about it!!! So i wanna thank Ivar Christenson and Eddie Ducol, who gave me advice when i was working on my act, and all of Skrrrt, cause feeling surrounded by so many great unicyclists and cool people feels very inspirational! (sorry for the cliché speech i'm just really happy ^^)

Mad4One ERGAL Hub/Made in Italy?

Mad4One ERGAL hub worth it? Been thinking about buying the 32H M41 ERGAL Hub to make a lighter flatland set up. Strength? Cost? Reliable? Appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you, everyone.

Questions about your experiences with saddles, saddle plates, carbon bases, etc

Hey folks, I said some of this in the chat but I wanted to collect it into a post for more permanent / static collection of feedback. I'm wondering if people have experienced something i'm experiencing. I got a full mad4one 20" urban setup about a month ago. I noticed in my session today that the saddle feels like it's flexing an unusual amount in the front half. On this note, I feel like I remember seeing stabilization plates and stuff like that for sale via Railigion and maybe some other sites over the years I suspect that those plates probably help reduce the flex, and im starting to realize the reason to use something like this. Do any of you use these plates? I also realize this is probably why people prefer carbon base saddles for more hardcore riding, in terms of reducing flex, increasing overall strength and longevity, etc. I'm curious about y'all's experiences switching to carbon bases from more conventional plastic saddles if you have anything to say about that. I'm trying to settle on a setup that will last me years, and i'm discovering aspects of certain parts that I love (mad4one seatpost and frame) and aspects i don't love (saddle feeling sort of shakey after only a month of riding, what makes a set of pedals undesireable etc.) What do you think?
