UK World tour?

Funny you say that Edd, I was just talking to Roger from UDC about
starting a British tour. I was in the middle of contacting riders when
I saw this thread.
I have begun plans already e.g. contacted places about sponsorship and
figured out the logistics of most of it, all that was needed was to
rope people in.

Stay tuned,

Jas

doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.

That sounds pretty awsome Edd.

It'd be awsome if we could get to the cities to do urban trials and
street riding particularly.

More details 😄

Yeah, we would have to get hold of a couple of vans. We would also need
someone to drive the vans, as I havent passed my test yet, but by next
summer I should have!

We were thinking of roadtripping to the major cities and riding mainly
street, trials and freestyle, so I don't know if some of the more
distance/Muni orientated riders would be very interested. If there is a
lot of interest from Muni riders, we could incorperate some of the best
Muni spots aswell.

We would also need somewhere to stay at nights, we originally thought
camping. Then we thought, when did you last see a campsite in the
middle of a city? Youth hostels is an option, but after a week or so,
that would get pretty expensive, unless we somehow got sponsers to pay
for it.

THE most major hurdle, in my opinion is finding a time to do it, when
everyone is available. Although, we could arrange it so that you would
be free when we came to your town or city, and you ride with us for the
day.

Just my thoughts.

Any more ideas/suggestions? Please PM me or post in this thread!

Rock on!
Edd

You're in vehicles, you can always drive out of town to a nearby
campsite. I've run a few mini roadtrips before now and you'd be amazed
how much stuff you can get in a normal car if you try, especially if
you're only taking trials unis. A ford focus hatchback can carry 2
people with their luggage and 14 unicycles, including cokers and munis
if packed correctly. Getting your hands on vans will be nigh on
impossible unless you know someone who has one or you have the money to
buy one, and even then you're going to need to need insurance etc. and
they're going to cost you more in fuel than cars would.

You need to think about the exact aims of your trip aswell, you seem to
want to just go and ride interesting spots and meet local riders in
different towns, lucas is talking about a demo rig as if he wants to do
pro organised demos, those are two really different things, and Im not
saying you couldn't mix the two but you need to decide exactly what you
want out of it.

It sounds like a really great idea and I hope it succeeds, I'll
certainly come ride with you if you tour anywhere near me.

Hey guys and girls!

I have been thinking and have come up with a few thoughts.

Leo and I wanted this to be a riding/fun roadtrip, rather than a demo
tour, so it would be just travelling around meeting up with riders and
riding the local spots.

I think mid july to early august is a sensible time to aim for, so who
would be avialable and interested in comming for a week around that
time.

Also, if you are interested, could you post where you are and if you
would just meet up with us for a day, or roadtrip with us!

Thanks!

Rock on!
Edd

I'd definitely be up for meeting you guys - and possibly the whole
roadtrip if you'll have me. I'll probably be back in London by mid July
so I should be available.
As for places to stay a cool idea is to book a cheap 2 person room in
Travel Inn or somewhere, and sneak in a load more people after you've
checked in. You can pack loads of people in sleeping bags into those
rooms.

I'm interested! There's 3 street riders in Sheffield, make sure you
stop by and we can have a mega jam.

I finish school (forever) in summer 2007 so I'm on holiday from almost
July to August (Not sure exactly).

It would be totally rad to do a mini tour of the country for a week or
two.
