Eventually got my pics up. Captions will be put up shortly.
I had over 400 pics, so I chose some of my favourite ones or ones which
make me laugh.
'Joes European Muni and Trails Convention Pics 2005'
(http://gallery.unicyclist.com/joes_european_pics)
I'm useless at write ups, so Ill just tell you about my highlights.
Well, first of all it was the first time Id been on a plane (since I was
one!) So that was cool in itself.
Unfortunatly on the first night (thursday) I fell off a cable drum and
landed on my coxics, which hurt. That was a real pain, but tried to not
let it spoil the convention (it was also my holiday!).
That ment I couldnt give it my 100% at the trials comp, which was
ashame.
Just generally chilling with people from so many different countries was
cool. Seeing Gilby again, and spending some drunken time with him and
Germans, Danish and French around the camp fire. "I'm a monster" etc
haha! Also having a beer and icecream (humm...) with Roger, Rocket and
An-So. That was nice.
Others include coming 3rd on the speed trials in the town. That was
great, and I must say I couldnt of done it without my team - Roger,
Rocket and Gilby... for opening a new beer for me everytime I finished.
Cheers, guys! 🙂
After the speed trials, we got some beers from the petrol station, and
headed down the beach. There was Yoggi, Ben and some other French guys,
a couple of Germans (sorry I dont know your names!), Kris, Roger and
myself. Me and Roger got another round of beers in, Yoggi went skinny
dipping and after opening bottles of beer using metal pedals, there was
talk of a new KH product, Watch this space!!!! (you heard about it first
here!!)
The Muni ride was cool. Very relaxing for myself. I didnt do much,
infact nothing, as my coxic was still sore. I took the opitunity to take
some cool pics, then sleep 🙂 Some pics came out ok, but my camera didnt
wanna take good pics. Talking of which, the quality is unforunatly
rather poor on my indoor trials pics 🙁
Oooh, so many highlights. Watching the high jump comp, and then the long
jump competition (by touchlight), was amusing, and very impressive.
Congrats to the winners!
I met up with the only other English man there (bar me Roger and Rocket)
- Tim. He was a fire juggler who had come across to do a show. Chilling
with him and playing with fire was cool, and watch what people can do
was impressive!
There was also the late night chill out sessions in the hall. This was
basicly alot of beer, alot of foreign languages, and the occasional
unicycle game. Even riding a uni 'under the influence' was hard enough.
I have some pictures of dudes trying to ride giraffes over the see
saw... some bigs falls too! :P
Then there was the show. where do I start? It was great! I'll let u have
a look at the pics, but the last artist, who was a 'body popper' was
just so funny. The pics didnt come out so well, as he was dancing so
meen moves, moving slow mo etc - you really had to be there!
No doubt I've forgotten some bits, but i'll post up if I remember 🙂
I must say a huge thanks to everyone who helped organise it. It was
great! Great venue, great weather (generally - apart from the trials
day!) great company, and great food 🙂
Cya next time!
Joe,
