I want to go, but it looks like we (me and Louise) may not have the money or vacation time to make the trip.
9 in a row… nice
If i can make it it’ll be my 3rd.
Hi i’m new here and this was the first thread I saw. Was just wondering how you guys pay to fly all the way out to NZ? I have been saving for a while and only have like $700…
Full time jobs for the most of us.
Busking on my 3-wheeler, can get up to $150.00 per 2.5 hours
Also B’days and Christmas= $$$
Sweeeeeeeet. Looking forward to riding with you and Pele. (and everyone else of course.)
So yeah, I’m thinking about going. I’m heading through Wellington around that time so I might aswell swing in for a look. Might take my uni too.
I am humbled by the fact that so many nez-zealanders participated in European UNicon.
So I am ashamed to think about the budget :o … I’ll have to convince significant other to come with me visiting beautiful NZ and convince my liege Lord to let me not perform my duties for … well what about 3 weeks?
(moreover the over-sixty unicyclist pack should be enhanced just to show the public at large this is a sport for everybody).
I’ve just been having a bit of a hunt for flights but can’t see far enough ahead on the websites to see what they’re likely to be next Christmas.
I’m also a bit wary about booking a flight a year in advance when so many airlines and travel operators are going bust.
But yesh, in short, I’d love to go and am making provisional plans to do so.
If I go I’ll stay over there for a month or two to travel about a bit and meet up with some friends over there.
That means you’ll need at least three more whiles to have enough for the whole trip probably…
In 2004 Zack Baldwin and Jess Riegel teamed up to do fund-raisers to help pay for their trip to Japan. The main event they did was get the city of Roseville to let them use the stage in a local park, where they advertised a show that they did, collecting donations in the process. I was going to be in their show too but I couldn’t make it. Zack went on to win the Trials competition, while Jess made an awesome documentary of the convention experience.
Lol yeah even if I did have the money I can’t go by myself anyway. Maybe in a few years
What do people do at shows? Do they do like street performance shows like on a giraffe or trials/freestyle stuff? I may need to get me a giraffe instead of a trials unicycle and learn to juggle on it
I advise you to learn juggling either on the ground or on a smaller unicycle at first, because if you learn to juggle on a giraffe every time you drop a ball you will have to get off and remount!
Yes, it’s a great way to get good at freemounting.
I want to go, but it all depends on my money and schooling situation, I might be starting university that year as well.
I might be going, as well. It would be my first unicon ever.
I´m still searching for people who want to travel with me before or after unicon. Anyone who is interested in traveling with me can write me a message.
job shmob… a class i teach will be in full swing by the time unicon hits. and my students are just going to have to suck it up
I am going and so if forrest. we got our round trip tickets for $1050
this will be my first unicon… and i am sooo ready
Im going, I live in NZ so I dont have to travel far, it will be my first unicon.
You traveling with Anna, Meg, Kirsten, Kathleen, and Forrest? I might be traveling with them. I know I’m staying with them. I wont be all paid for until last minute though.
