An organizer of the Pro Cycle tour has posted a request for us unicyclists to put on a demo and maybe even a coker race at the Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling. The date would be June 10 and it would be in fount of the Art Museum in Philadelphia. I have e-mailed the organizer and he is basically asking us to come up with a concept than we will work out the details. So what I am asking of you is who would be interested in coming and what ideas do you have for the demo.
Thank you
If there’s enough interest an exhibition can be done for each of the more popular riding styles; Muni, Distance (Coker), Street, Trials, etc… I’d have to check the date but if I’m free I’d enjoy exhibiting Coker and Muni. For such an event maybe you can get some of the pro’s to participate.
With no more Motorama or Rolling Trials at Rays, I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been to any big uni events this year. So count me in. Of course, if it’s outside the Philly art museum, we would have to do a hopping race up the steps a la Rocky, prehaps with the theme song blaring on a PA. I’d be game for a coker race too.
I’ve got a few trials obstacles left over from the old HoW days: some large tires, an adjustable sandwich board, some short posts, pallets, and other stuff I’d be happy to bring up.
I’ll definitely be in the area this summer. What sort of set up are you going to have? I don’t check here very often so shoot me an email if this is going to happen, and I’ll try to make it down there. ben (at) benps (dot) com
Yeah, I’m gonna be in Swarthmore all summer and I’m probably going to get pretty antsy. I’m thinking about taking a trip to the Diabolo freeride park in NJ, a mountain biking friend of my told me they have some good north shore type riding there. Any other MUni riders in the area should let me know if they are interested.
