world record?

ice_cold_uni6 · 2006-07-13T18:40:13+00:00

no, i have not set a world record (of course not). but i realized that we, collectively could. this forum is probably the largest assimilation of unicyclists in the world, and if we organized a simultaneous unicycle ride, it could be the a world record, the largest simultaneous unicycle ride in the world. so, i'm thinking tomorrow at 4 pm (EST)? to give time for everybody to get word of it. someone should also translate this into german for the deutches einradforum. we'd all have to go out and ride for at least like 20-30 min to make up for any small discrepencies (clock innacuracies, ect) tell me if this time isnt good so we can work out a good time for everyone. if this does happen i'll contact guinness so we can be in the book. ps, go here for what time 4 pm est is locally to you: 'here' (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) set the first "location" to "usa-connecticut-hartford" -- ice_cold_uni6 *-_><>chug_counterfeit_tobasco_sauce_while_holding_bananas_for_christ<><_-* PM if you want in. read through MR? i'd rather drink bleach. it's more refreshing.

no, i have not set a world record (of course not). but i realized that
we, collectively could. this forum is probably the largest assimilation
of unicyclists in the world, and if we organized a simultaneous
unicycle ride, it could be the a world record, the largest simultaneous
unicycle ride in the world.
so, i'm thinking tomorrow at 4 pm (EST)? to give time for everybody to
get word of it. someone should also translate this into german for the
deutches einradforum. we'd all have to go out and ride for at least
like 20-30 min to make up for any small discrepencies (clock
innacuracies, ect)
tell me if this time isnt good so we can work out a good time for
everyone.
if this does happen i'll contact guinness so we can be in the book.
ps, go here for what time 4 pm est is locally to you:
'here' (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html)
set the first "location" to "usa-connecticut-hartford"

I think you should give people more advanced warning, also, what about
people that work? Plus, 4pm for you could be in the middle of the night
for some of us!
Sorry to chuck a soggy blanket on your otherwise great idea man!
Rock on!

Tomorow eh?
Well, I dont think I could make it to America by 4:00pm your time...
It would be a good idea, but Unicon will almost certainly beat it.

no, no, its a simultaneous ride, that means you ride wherever you live,
its just all at the same time.

Do it -during- unicon, so then you can have unicon people plus people
that didn't go (like me) riding at the same time, it will be wayyy
higher.

well, it was just a time to begin with. if we move the date back to the
22nd, (a saturday) and the time to noon here, most people will be able
to make it. in europe itll be around 6pm, and on the west coast itll be
9am, but in australia, unfortunately, itll be around 1am. but most
people could make it.

If we all do drops at the same time, do you think people sleeping in
Istanbul will feel it? :p
Anyway, I think we had over 400 people riding at Unicon X in China. And
we were all in the same place, Tiananmen Square! I don't know if you
could generate anything like that through this forum. Even if you did,
there's no way to prove it happened without a lot of messy
recordkeeping and affidavits for each location where somebody rode. In
other words, not something you're going to want to present to the
Guinness people.
We might have had more people riding in the entry parades at Unicons
III or XII (Japan) as well, though they might not have all been riding
at the same time. Those would be great records to beat!

They are setting up records here in germany some times. Longest line of
unicyclists holding hands and riding was with ~1100 people. Don't know
exactly but that around that number...

John,
As I recall, we had somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 riders in the
parade through downtown Seattle at UNICON 11. The reactions of the
television announcers still cracks me up.

"assimilation of unicyclists" is an interesting word choice.

Of course! I should remember that, I'm the one who put them into a
semblance of order! Another 400. That 1100 sounds pretty darn amazing!
What event was that at?
Please share some of those announcer comments with the group, will you?
🙂
