Joel is from Canada too.

[ntappin]

Indeed but I do not know joel and joel isn’t replying to this thread.

Maybe I should have been more specific and said Ottawa instead.

That’s Joel Burgess in the pic. He ended up winning the comp with 17 of the 20 expert lines completed. I came in second with 16. I can’t remember who came in third place.

I’m sure Joel and I both could have finished all the lines but we just ran out of time (they ran the comp for 1 hour), which was actually a good thing considering the heat and humidity. We were both pretty dead by the end of it. Us Canadians can’t handle all that heat. Not to mention I’m an old man and horribly out of shape… I think there were around 45 competitors in the trials comp, which was really awesome.

They held a street comp as well which I hear went really well, but unfortunately I didn’t see it as I was competing in other events.

The last few days have really seemed to fly by but it’s been a real blast. Brian Mackenzie has been filming a lot so I’m sure you’ll see some of the footage appearing in some form in the future.

Yeah, I got third. I know what you mean about the heat, I guess Montana isn’t too far from Canada…

I would’ve gotten all except maybe one line I think, if I had lots and lots of time. But the heat ‘was’ getting to me.

I’m so tired, I played flaming puck hockey untill almost midnight last night, after working very hard at trials and street all day, then I was up untill 2:30 am packing unicycles in suitcases, only to get up before 6:00 am to catch a plane back home… wow.

Does anybody know who won the street comp yet? I’ll bet it was John. (gordythegon or something)

@skate4flip

There was only 4 of us in the street comp (me, jon, forrest, and Joel). I got videos of everyones runs, not sure when ill get it uploaded or anything though.

Im not sure on the results for it (i had to leave nationals last night and the results are going out till today).

Sorry, is it John or Jon?*

My dad video taped all four of our runs, I’ll post them as soon as I get that all edited and uploaded.

It was great. MOre stuff packed into each day than you could do. I just got home and have to deal with a water leak. I’ll post the pictures in my gallery later tonight or in tomorrow.

Forrest and the rest did great.

@unijesse

well who won the street comp? and did somebody get video of it?

Forrest !!!

Forrest also won the overall MUni award!!!

I had the great pleasure to meet Forrest and talk with him on several occasions. He is absolutely a really nice young man in addition to being a great rider.

Congratulations Forrest, for a job well done!!!

@kapoute

can you post all of your photos please?

I will be posting pictures in the gallery as soon as I can sort through them. My new digital camera got a real workout. I think I took more than 600 photos in the past 6 days. (I won’t post all of them.)

Yeah, way to go Forrest. I had the privilege of meeting Forrest too, and yes, he is a great guy. CONGRATS!

@monkeyman

There wouldn’t happen to be a video of that, would there?

Yeah, I got it on video too, but as Forrest said, they are going to compete in Switzerland in July, so they ask that it not be posted on the Net. Lets just say, they are going to be AWESOME! Ryan is a very talented and nice guy to be around. He made riding look EEEEEAsy!

@b2bivy

I think the skills showcased at NAUCC was amazing, and maybe more exposure and a good PR campaign is needed to push the sport along.

I agree. I started riding for the first time a couple years ago at 40. Of all the ‘types’ of uni riding (coker, freestyle, street, muni, etc.) you need a different wheel for each.

Personally, I love the dirt! I’m a member of the MUC here in Memphis (I was the one walking aroun NAUCC with the broken hand) and had several conversations with others around how to take MUni to the next level. Like MUni skill levels, more intense uphill/downhill competition, MUni-Cross, etc.

This was my first NAUCC. Frankly because it was here, but I had no idea how large this sport is. For any of you who rode Stanky Creek or the Tour de Wolf, those two trails I ride regularly evey week and have never seen more than 10 at one time on either. Usually it’s just three or four of us. But to see over 50 Muni riders from all corners here on our home trail was pure amazing!!! Hope you found them fun and challenging. Xtreme Olympics lookout!

dude forrest is crazy good…

I missed the Tour de Wolf, but the stanky creek XC race trail was a blast. I loved riding that trail, I wish I could have done it more a different time. It was a nice change too, not very hilly. In Montana most trail riding is on the side of a mountain, so your muni ride is basically one long lung-busting ride up and then ride back down.

Hey, so you made it back? How long were you there the second time?

I didnt make it back. I came home to no air conditioning and home repairs! I looked for you before I left to say “goodbye”. Congrats on everything, it was nice to meet you!

There’s actually three trails in there. Did you do the white trail? The blue is the shortest but the hardest. I do envy you and anyone who lives out west with some extreme trail riding.

Congrats on winning the street!

Oh, did you lose a Qu-Ax black hat? Right after the trials event, I found one near the tables where you were repairing your flat. I know you ride a Qu-Ax wheel and thought it might be yours.

For the most part I only did the blue trail…

Yes, that’s my hat. I was looking everywere for whoever picked it up!
