  1. Hey Everyone,

    I'm greatly considering going to FLUCK. The payments for
    everything is completely out of my pocket. It would be around 1700$
    total package for me. Though this isn't a great amount of money, it's a
    huge set back when I need a new car, laptop, and just money for college
    by fall 08'. What I need from you guys is motivation. Who is going to
    be there? Can I find a list of the people registered? Will it be worth
    the money for only 5 days? How are the "staying over" conditions? Is
    there freetime where you could just chill with other unicyclists and
    maybe start your own game or little competition? Are there any street
    spots in that area to maybe hit up once? How many people are bringing
    cameras? Will anybody be making a film like the UNIcon dvd from this
    competition? And who would want me there in the first place? (I figured
    that would kind of be important, I don't want to go if no one really
    wants me there.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your
    time.

  2. It's nothing fixed now but normaly we will be at Fluck with several pro
    and semi pro cameras to produce a FLUCK DVD. From Unicon DVD filming we
    get a lot of ideas how to improve many things to make it much better.
    So from the video side you should be satisfied with the equipment at
    FLUCK I think 🙂
    I also heard some rumors that there is a small chance to make a second
    try for a live stream from FLUCK Areal 😄

    As I know there is indoor and outdoor street and trial parcour and both
    are big ones and very professional. But I still told you that hahaha.

    BUC is for sure an awesome event but at FLUCK should be at least the
    best street / trial /Muni riders from all over Europe.

    Both would be best for sure but would be 3400 $ and so double out of
    pocket.

    yeah i was just joking 'round.
    $1700 is a lot of money to spend on a uni trip, especially when you
    have to save up for college.

  9. Do demos, search for sponsors then you will get a lot of money for the
    trip (for example my city give me a little bit money for each unicon).

    Maybe you can do a trip throw europe after or before Fluck like Jess
    and Kevin have done after unicon.

  10. You can't really do that around at least where I am. Demos don't really
    go down. I don't think the U.S. is as open to it as other countries
    seem to be. All you can hope for is rich parents that are nice, or work
    your butt off. haha.
    Thanks for the list, I didn't see too many people I knew. Looks good.

    its easy for me to say, i live kinda near both, but i would rather go
    to fluck,

    we`re driving car down, and we`ll probably get there a day before, to
    ride street in the city, and maybe we stay a day longer.. i dont know,
    but im sure everybody want you there, youre the king!

  17. Well, if FLUCK is a 5-day convention, and BUC is a 2-day convention, and
    people may arrive a day early and stay a day late for BUC, then might
    people do the same for FLUCK? I think, between schooling, this would be
    a worthwhile and well-appreciated trip; ~7 days break from the
    ordinary, visiting a new town and making new memories. I'm waiting for
    UNICON in '08 to spend pocket money on a big unicycling trip...though
    MOAB is very tempting.

    EDIT: Doesn't the KOXX-1 team go to BUC?

    I have to agree completley with you. I would really go UNICON instead
    of MOAB though, UNICON is so so so so so good. Only Yoggi goes to
    BUC, I am not sure if he is coming this year though.

  19. Its an extremely great convention...! so many nice and great and cool
    people are going to be there, you are going to have so much fun both
    with and without your unicycle. the town where its going to be held is
    a crappy town though, not very big, but close to the beach. I think it
    takes about 1½ hour by train to go to Copenhagen, which is a great
    town, (one more reason why you should consider coming to Denmark). Many
    unicyclists are living in
    Copenhagen and in the Copenhagen area, and im sure all of us will love
    to show you and everybody else around in our little country, and if you
    want to come before the convention starts, or stay a little longer
    after it has finished I'm sure it is possible to figure out something.
    🙂
    No reason not to go!! (except for not having any money)
