  1. November 20 2006, it's the 25th birthday of "French Children Laws". The
    association "La Voix de l'enfant" organises a gala day in Eiffel Tower
    to raise funds.

    [image: http://www.espacetrial.com/news/photos/703a.jpg]

    In this occasion, Yoggi - World champion of Trial unicycle in 2004 and
    4th in World championships 2006 - is going to tempt the ascention of
    some 670 stairs of the 2nd stage of the Eiffel Tower to approve a new
    world record.

    Taig Kris, inline roller world champion and Ambassador of "La Voix de
    l'enfant", will also stimulate this day by installing an halfpipe at
    the first stage of the Eiffel Tower

    [image: http://www.espacetrial.com/news/photos/703b.jpg]

    Various media should cover the event for, let us hope, follow the
    record in front of the television set. Rest more than to wish Yoggi
    good luck. And be certain that he will join the numerous sportsmen
    having stood out the story of the Eiffel Tower.

    A t-shirt has been created for the event. More infos soon on the
    website of 'Koxx One' (http://www.koxx-one.com).

  9. Geeze! 670 stairs is a lot. I have done 245 all in one go. I was
    downtown riding at the dam, and to get back up, theres tons of stairs,
    so I said, why not just jump up all of them? Then at the top, I
    realized more stairs looping around a building, so I did those too.

    You need great endurance to get through that.

    Good lcuk man!

    On koxx-one.com it says that yoggi was the worldchampion, but that is a
    mistake because Zack won.

    Thats what he ment, He said that Zack was the 2004 worldchampion and
    Yoggi wasn't. Yoggi wasn't in the top 3 this year either...But thats
    for another thread.

    Good luck Yoggi! Hope you do it!

  15. I hope that the french people from France will soon understand that
    Yoggi has never been trial world champion... He just won in his
    category, not all category mixed.....

  16. World champion or not... Yoggi is a great unicyclist and is promoting
    this sport a lot.

    Thanks Yoggi!

  17. Yoggi is referring to being the age group world champion, this is true
    and he is rightly proud of this achievement. As for him not being the
    overall trials champion, yes he is not; he is an exceptionally good
    trials rider and did come second overall in 2004!

    ps I won the old farts age group in the marathon at UNICON and I am
    proud of that too. :-p

    Thanks Roger for clearing that up! I was confused and wondering myself
    so I tried researching it but could not find anything on it... No
    results are posted for Trials for the Unicon in Japan for some reason
    or another?
