[muni] EMEW 2008 - the 1st South African Muni Convention

Hi guys.

Emew (the "Epic Muni in Elgin" Weekend) was the first ever South African unicycling Convention. It was a humble start, with 12 people from around the country (and 1 from France) meeting for a weekend of riding and fun. We hope that this is the start of greater things for unicycling in our country. Hope you enjoy! please leave some comments if you have any.

Wow! Nice video and nice choice of music! The two songs were really appropriate.

Good job!

I liked.

You guys need a glidecam. That would make this vid complete.

It was a totally *awesome* weekend Huge thanks to all the guys that were able to make it down to Cape Town for the convention. Ruan did a great job with the video, and seeing there was a lot of filming done I suspect there will be another video or 2 in the making

WOFT... spectacular bail there and hats off for trying it in the first place

Thank you. My girlfriend had many words to say to me when she saw that, espcially after all my reassurance of how safe unicycling is because of the low speed and ability to "step off". hehe...
