No way?! Do you know what sort of stuff he can do?

some japanse freestylers.
some german gravity technicians
and some americans trials riders.
and that brazillian guy.

Me. Because I’ve never been to one, and I’m dying to go.

Is Rodney Mullen any good on a uni?

rodney mullen completely blows me away…it’s not a huge surprise that he can ride a uni. he’s probbably pretty good

Am I invited?

I understand the gist of this thread, but…

If you only invite the best then you’ve got a competition or exposition, not a convention.

If you only invite your friends, then you’ve got your daily grind.

The idea of a convention, of course, is to get everyone together so the talented can teach the less so, strangers can meet, vendors can sell some stuff, everyone can be inspired by each other, and locals can say, “holy crap, is the circus in town?” and try subtle variations on “you’ve lost a wheel”.

I’d invite on the condition they help out with stuff for all the other people at this fictional convention the following.

Julien Money- awesome freestyler and workshop leader.
Kris Holm- awsome trials rider, all round good egg and ditto
Roger Davies- Good trader- good workshop leader on intermediate skills.
Rolf Sander- Hockey guru
Alberto Ruiz- Basketball guru
Carol mcClean- to run the games session
Nathan Hoover- to chill out with
Mike Fule -to write it all up afterwards
Trine Karh’s mum -to make sandwiches and be MUM to every one.
Paul Selwood - because it wouldn’t be the same with out him.

Could be a good convention with that lot helping out, I’d buy a ticket.
Sarah

For those who don’t know this list includes people from 7 nations, I’ve meet all of them at conventions except Mike Fule.

  • Kris Holm because well he’s Kris Holm!
  • Sarah + Paul because they’re great fun people +great unicyclists and great at hockey!
  • Roger from unicycle.com and all his stock from unicycle.com!
  • Phil because he made it all the way up the big hill in saltash
  • Klaas Bil because i’m going to Holland for a holiday this summer and i’m going to meet up with him
  • Ben because at my convention there would be a really good muni trail and i know he has a new muni
  • Joe because he’s a brilliant unicyclist and a cool guy
  • All the people from Calstock unicycle club
  • All the people from Totnes unicycle club
  • and everyone on the unicyclist.com forums!

And i would like an absolutly massive great tarmac area the size of a football pitch with goals at each end for an absoluty massive game of uni hock and a big indoor sports hall in case it rains so we can still play hockey and a nice forest nearby with loads of amazing trials stuff and muni rides and loads of big hills nearby and mountains and a nice playground with lots of steps and stuff for people to jump on and off and that’s about all i think :stuck_out_tongue:

:stuck_out_tongue: haha good one!

Me :stuck_out_tongue:
Christian Hoverath (someone to race with)
Rowan (someone else to race with)
Tony Melton (someone to race with)
Kris Holm
Dan Heaton
Ryan Atkins
Peter, Steve and Tony (as above) to bring stuff from unicycle.com NZ
Roger at unicycle.com UK (someone else to race with), and bring over some UK stock, like Carbon fibre seats.

Yay I’m included!

I wouldnt be able to pick people maybe it would have to be the first ten people who get here first or just everyone.

Not much of a con if only 10 people are invited.

I here by swear that if I ever create/host/have anything to do with a convention, everyone on this forum is invited. :smiley:

Daniel

9 other hockey players and someone to keep the score. Sounds like the perfect number to me:D

Nick

Jagur
Rhysling
Animation
TMorningstar
JC
UniBrier
Tom Jackson
Tom Blackwood
Irene Genelin
George Pendergast

to make trouble, I would include
Jerry Gruss: to make eleven
Keith Williamson: for an even dozen
John Hooten: because he’s a hoot
Mark Stephens: because he’s a legend

and those are just a few of the US folks.

I could go on and on with Gild (our rare African rider), the Canadians, the Aussies, the Kiwis, the Europeans, I could pick ten from TCUC alone and Carol McClean would top that list. I think of all the people I’ve ridden with and enjoyed and couldn’t possibly make a list of ten.
