Hey everyone im new to the forum. Although most of you seem to be from america etc. I was wondering if anyone here knows of a unicycle club in South Australia. I have found a link on another site but it didnt work Cheers in advance for any help:D
Hey Ache, welcome to the forum.
There are a few of us aussies around the joint.
On this forum, however, there are no south australians (I think). As for clubs, there is the AUS (Australian unicycling society) but Iām not sure if there is a south australian chapter.
As for Australians on R.S.U., there is Andrew Carter in Brisvegas, David in Toronto (Near newcastle, NSW), and Gabe and myself from Armidale in the new england region on NSW.
Iām sure andrew will have lots to say as he knows about uni in aus more than myself so Iāll leave it up to himā¦
No I donāt.
Nice to meet you Ache. I donāt know if youāve seen this or not but quite a few Aussies have put their details here:

David (who Iām sure will reply to this thread pretty soon) is working on setting up a unicycle club thatāll eventually have different divisions (I think) but I donāt think itās set up yet.
What sort of riding are you into?
Are you planning on going to UniNats this year (Australian unicycling nationals in Canberra)?
Itās nice to see the number of Australians on rsu steadily increasing.
Andrew

No definite information, but you could do worse than contacting
Philippe Quoilin quoilin.philippe@saugov.sa.gov.au
or Sally Birch Sally.Birch@adl.soils.csiro.au
Both are involved with juggling in Adelaide and may be able to
point you to other Croweater unicyclists. I hope their email
addresses are still valid.

Welcome to the forum! Iām in the Netherlands which from your antipodal
point of view may qualify as āamerica etcā, but for me it is certainly
different!

south australian unicycle club???
Hey thanks everyone, you seem like good people:) I kept searching after i posted here and found the emal adress for someone from URSA(unicycle riders south australia? i hope)and yes it was listed on the Australian unicycle site. So i will get i contact with them:D.
Now to answer your Qs. I have got a clapped out 20 in uni, i ride on the street, there is a small pine forest near my house which i ride (its not as exciting as it sounds)basically i just ride anywhere local. I have only been riding for a few(3?4?) months so im not that good yet. I want to get a 24 in uni built and ride some decent trails and maybe some trials when i get better.
And klaas bil, i dont think the netherlands is in america:) Man that post was too long
Gi-day Ache! Welcome to this wonderful site and Welcoming to the world of unicycling. And Yes Indeed Iām from Toronto NSW near Newcastle. Iāve got new friends on this site such as Andrew Carter and Samuel to name such a few. Start the S.A.U.C up if you like and weāll be Mates. Iām Starting the Newcastle Lake Macquarie Unicycle Club and itās not ready just yet 'til there is at least 20 members to start at. There is an another Club already Started called Australian Unicycle Society and itās base at the A.C.T. Give them a called at www.afmagic.com and click on AUS.
You can see my other thread what I was suppose to start.

We need some Unicycle Clubs here in Australia because of Popularity and ever increasing people wanting to learn the basics of unicycling. I donāt know if thereās many Aussies besides Andrew, Samuel, Jimmy, Me of cause, or what. COME ON AUSSIEāS
COME ON, COME ON. As our Australian Cricket Theme goes. WE NEED YOUāSE. Whereās the Allisonās by the way.
David.
Ache,
If youāre looking for a 24" muni or plan on buying one later on, The Gap Bike Shop in Brisbane (where I work part-time) will be selling munis in a few months. Gary, one of the co-owners of the shop, is currently getting some frames made up. Then, heāll hopefully put it together with a Profile hub and crank set, Alex DX-32 rim, Nokian Gazz 24" x 3" tyre, Odyssey Twisted Pro pedals, and a Miyata seat and sell it for a pretty reasonable price (which I donāt know yet). Itās the same as my muni but with a different frame. If that doesnāt suit you, have a look at www.unicycle.com (you probably already know that site, but anywayā¦) for some great munis. The only realy problem is the shipping costs I guess.
Andrew
Andrew! Iāll Call you one day for the MUniās. May be interested in one. I looked at the KH24" on Unicycle.com and looks Great. The 26" could even be better. Iāll give you a call or you give me a call when itās ready. Cheers Mate.
David.
south australian unicycle club???
Djm let me know how you go setting up the club.I dont think i could start my own club because im still an unorganised teenager:D If it makes you feel better we can still be mates
Andrew Carter post up here when you get the unis in if you can, that would be cool. I tried to find out some more today, but no bike shops could really help. I will probably get a custom frame built, becuase my dads friend builds custom bikes, but weāll see.
Cheers everyone
Ache! Donāt Worry. Someone will start one up in South Australia, Donāt you worry about that. Call me David instead DJM. Andrew And Samuel Does. Hey! Donāt worry Ache. I have a Teenage Friend myself. And I reckon Teenagers have been left Forgotten, some where I donāt know. You have made me a new friend here and I registed back in January 2003. The Right time and you have. Iāll let you know what my Unicycle club is Going. Keep watching this site and Iāll Post some on this Site.
Goodluck Ache Mate and letās be friends like Andrew and Samuel and other mates on this site. Cheers.
David.
One tip Ache, Make sure you check your spelling by using the post reply button. It pays to watch. I found a few of yours but donāt worry, weāll read it through. Oāk. GREAT.
David and Ache,
Iāll probably send you each private messages when the munis are ready. Iāll probably also post a thread about them. So are you planning on going to UniNats Ache?
Andrew
Thanks Andrew, Iāll watch my pmās.
David.
