They are all very well known, except the group Companion, which I think
was assembled from various riders going to Unicon XIII. You've got to
get out of the newsgroup and into the real world from time to time;
only a tiny percentage of unicyclists post here.

To me it makes sense that they're really that well known. The most
active of unicyclist are younger teens what not. To me (and the people
around here) we don't care to much about the freestyle world, there are
soooo many people that do it (All of Japan, haha, and a lot of clubs
around the USA) we're interested in what's be thrown down in street and
trials and muni. Though it's newer than freestyle and less developed I'd
rather watch something like that than freestyle. I think it's the tiny
cranks, or just the ugly looking skinny unicycle.

P.S. I still repect all that do it. I enjoy watching Kaori a lot I find
more interest in street and trials viewing.

i do get into the real world, but this is pretty much my only source of
uni news. if i dont hear it here (or elsewhere on the web) i dont hear
it at all. i rarely hear anything about freestylists, so i really
wouldnt know these people, however good and well known they are.

Ryan is from Mounds View, Minnesota. The Uni author was speaking of
Ryan having taken part in a ride in Norway.

He rode in Norway: http://www.unitours.org/tours/NUT/

Now he's attending college at Stanford, in the San Francisco Bay area.
We'll see if we can turn him into a MUni and Coker nut...
