The British Unicycle Trials Competition was held on 24th April 2004 at
BUC11.

There were 17 competitors in all, and three sections – Easy,
Intermediate and Hard, respectively.

The results were as follows:

Section 1 - Easy
Position: Name: Points:
1 Aaron Rolf 0
1 Iain Perves 0
1 Joe Baxter 0
1 Mark Lever 0
1 Michael Emmerson 0

Postion: Name: Points:
1 Joe Baxter 3
2 Yoggi 4
3 Phil Himsworth 10

3 Iain Perves 10


Overall top three:
Position: Name: Total Points:

1 Joe Baxter 3
2 Yoggi 4
3 Simon McAndrew 10
3 Phil Himsworth 10


We were using a mixture of ‘Kris Holm Unicycle Trials Rules’ and French
Trials Rules – as Yoggi was organising it, with a maximum of 10 points.
If we were to do this competition again, I don’t think we would use the
10 points rule, as it limited the variation in points.

Well done to all competitors…. And hopefully a Trials competition like
this will become a regular thing in the UK.

Cheers,


Joe,

Joe, if we get the permanent trials course in Sebergham, Cumbria up and
running quickly enough, I see no reason why we should'nt hold our first
'Open' Competition later in the summer after we have had a few trials
workshops abd practice days etc.

Once I have stockpiled enough materials it will depend how much time you
and Simon(?) can spend helping me design and build it.

We will have to consider caefully what rules we should use.

Great photos, looks like you had a really nice trials course set up
there. Any videos available?

Wow, I just saw the last few photos. That drop that the guy is
attempting is absolutely massive! Did he land it? Did anyone measure
the drop? Did his unicycle hold out okay?

Cool pics Simon!

Andrew, which drop did you mean?
If it was the one on the trails course, it was about 5ft (from the top
of the big cable drum to the smaller one on the ground). If you ment the
drop Yoggi was doing on the Muni ride, that was about 12ft!

I spent all his free time on friday and saturday morning fixing his
wheel (he had broken 4 spokes) and then did that drop, and broke some
more. It pulled them through the rim.

I have one short video of me, and a couple of others of me and North
messing around.

Paul Royal has loads of video which he is putting up in the galleries
some time, and if anyone is interested, he is selling them on DVD
also!


Joe,

I couldn't help noticing that Aaron is holding an invisible rail & Joe
is walking an invisible dog round the trials circuit.

The videos are going up slowly, there's only Joe at the moment. I should
get Yoggi, Simon and Phil up tonight, and the rest later in the week.
Look at 'Paul's Gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/paul_royle)
They're quite compressed so the quality isn't great, I can upload larger
(~20MB) versions if people want, or just wait for the DVD. There'll be
some clips from the show and the hockey later too.
If anyone wants any of the raw footage for their own projects they're
welcome to it, drop me a message.

Did you do the drop too? Did he land it? That's an amazing drop.

Great videos! Joe, that gap between spools was really amazing.
Congratulations. I also liked Yoggi's nice quick crank grab for that
gap on his second attempt. Only watched those ones so far.

Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the DVD in Australia? Any
ideas on prices?

Cheers,
Andrew

The videos are up for Joe, Simon, Yoggi and Phil (the top 3 finishers),
they're between 5 and 10 megs each which is a bit on the large side, but
they're between 2 and 4 minutes long. I'll break them up into smaller
chunks for dialup users.

Paul,
Well done, good filming.

I would very much like a copy of your DVD when it's finished, yourl have
to let us know what your discs cost.

I forgot to ask you at BUC what your email address is if
unicyclist.comis not your preffered address.

Mike, yeah.. lol My invisable dog! :rolleyes: I dont know how, but my
hand always seems to be out - guess it is just the way I ride!

Andrew, it was only Yoggi who did the huge drop (on the muni ride). And
he landed it!

Thanks for uploading them Paul. I might just wait until I get the DVd to
see them!


Joe,

Did I take sooooooo long to get round the trials course that the file is
too big for the gallery? The links to the videos of me don't seem to
work... :(

I've watched the first three, excellent stuff! Thanks, Paul.

My legs still really ache even after almost a week. I think I've done my
right knee in good 'n' proper...

In the trials gallery the videos for Phil and Iain don't download.
There seems to be a bad link.

In the BUC11 Show video with Roger and Rocket there seems to be a
problem with the encoding. The video goes wonky after the 1:06 point
and then QuickTime gives me an integer division by zero error.

I've fixed it!
The videos of Phil and Iain are up, I had to reduce the quality slightly
'cos clips over 10MB seem to upset the gallery or my internet
connection.
I've put Roger and Rocket up again, and some stuff of Connie
Enjoy
