I have some good news. After a dinner lasting six hours in which I explained
what unicycling is about to a an audience of seven in Sao Paulo (where I am on
a lecture tour) we decided to officially launch Brazilian Unicycling Association,
in Portuguese Associacao Brasileira de Monociclismo (ABM).
The president will be Masao Yumiketa (plmasao@uol.com.br), who will also be
involved in manufacturing unicycles in Brazil. He, his wife and his son all ride.
It started 14 years ago after Unicon IV when I went to Brazil and taught his son
Tadashi Yumiketa to ride.
As a first step, the principal of the Oshiman school will start a unicycling
program in Sao Paulo. I will give a demo there and teach two teacehsr how to
ride and how to teach.
More later. In the menatime,
VIVA O MONOCICLO NO BRASIL!!
