Quick-advice for media interview TODAY!

Terry,

Here is what will happen:

He/she, will have some questions already prepared. One will no doubt
be, why do you Mountain unicycle? Try to be prepared for that one.
They might ask you for terms that are used in the sport. Where do you
ride, that stuff. They will want to see the MUni and ask you what
makes it a MUni.

Be honest and tell them about that you are just starting out and that
your excited about sharing the sport with him/her this weekend. If
they are doing a story on MUni, then they will not doubt use the quotes
from the other guys as well.

Mention Cal MUni weekend and MOab as organized get togethers. Moab is
the biggest gathering in the country for MUNi. Get the dates, but you
won't need that immediately, just get it to them later.

Can you mention the LA MUNi website -http://MountainUnicyclingLA.com

It will go great. Wish I could be there.

How did you get someone to do a story on MUni?

Cheers.

Rod

Hi Rod,

Thanks for the tips! I've done maybe, 12-15 newspaper interviews over
the years, but it's been a while, plus, as you say, I'm new to this
sport. I basically called the paper, got through to the editor's
desk,and simply picthed the story. A reporter called saying he loved
the idea, and it went from there.

Very awsome Chosen! I just finished my interview and photo shoot. They
took some stills of me & my unis, then just idling, then outside doing
grabs, drops and stuff. Not alot of room or obstacles at my house, but
it was ok. "part ll" of the story will be this weekend with SB uni
club, so they can get action shots of us in the terrain. :p
