The first annual Australian MUni Weekend was fantastic. There were about 15 riders in total which turned out to be a great number and a great group. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and push their unicycling limits every now and then.
We went for several muni rides plus a night muni ride and visited the local skate park.
Kevin, only 11, did some amazing riding and impressed us all with his lack of fear and great skills…plus he did heaps of big drops on his plastic wheel.
Rockley snapped his cheap hub - there’s a pic in there of it - but rode really well and dropped the quarter pipe among other things.
Mark was doing some very stylish riding throughout the whole weekend and gave me some great footage for our movie.
Adrian gave us a go on his interesting handlebar uni. Check out the picture of it.
Everyone rode really well and had a lot of fun. I was happy to ride a set of 7 (pretty flat) stairs backwards a few times. We got that on film which looks funny when played in reverse. Can anyone suggest any free programs that can reverse clips? I’m hoping to be able to ride more stairs backwards soon because with a bit of practise, I don’t think 20 should be all that much more difficult than 7. It’s a lot of fun.
We’re going to have another of these muni weekends next year. Probably either at the same time of year or in the September holidays. I hope more people will be able to make it along.
Check out the photos (taken from the video footage - http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/albuu37 . I’ll make a video (the muni weekend section of our movie) available for download soon.
