NAUCC Photos

Nice shots. I like that second one with the racer's face blurred out.
Like he's in the "Unicycling Witness Protection Program".

I was surprised at all the little kids racing on the track w/o helmets.
I thought USA was a bit harder-core on that at official events.

I GOT MY VIDEOS UP!!

Photos not likely to be posted until after Unicon, but here are the
video clips I've managed to upload:

http://www.unicycling.com/naucc/

Notice the file sizes are rather large. The 60+ MB ones are the entire 4
minute performances! I have not had a chance to test all the links so I
hope they all work for you. Have fun downloading! Watch my bandwidth use
go sky high for this month!

Thanks guys for posting your pictures as well. Hopefully mine will be
worth the wait...

Does anyone have any pictures from the 10k? Our local newspaper is doing
a story on the event and is looking for a picture or two. Thanks.
Cheers.

I think the helmet issue depends on who is hosting the event. When it is in
Washington, if I remember right, helmets were required in all events.

Yeah, that's sorta weird. I did not intentionally blur the photo.
That's just how it came out. Maybe he just watched a strange, secret
video and has only seven days to live.

The official USA rules state:

2.4.1 BASIC SET: This applies to all track events, plus any other track
or field event not requiring the full set below.
The basic set consists of shoes, kneepads, and wristguards or gloves
meeting the definitions in section 1.28.

2.4.2 FULL SET: This applies to all MUni, Trials, downhill racing
(Gliding), any event that goes backward at speed,
plus events that may be named elsewhere. The full set consists of the
basic set, with the additional requirement of a
helmet. See definitions in section 1.28.

Thankfully everyone who raced also wore clothing that covered the
esentials.

At the speeds my kids ride the helmets didn't seem necessary.

Helmets were required for all Panther Pride riders, which I believe is a
sound school/club policy. But Alan Tepper chose not to challenge the
determination of riders by making it a rule for the convention. Helmet
use has been deemed optional for the time being, except in the events
listed above. I would prefer High Jump and Long Jump be added to the
helmet list because those would seem likely to generate more falls.

Our sport still being in its infancy, there is as yet no evidence to
indicate riders will be less injured with helmets. Though on the one
hand they provide obvious protection against knocks, studies with
bicyclists suggest that helmeted riders take more risks. Still, I'm glad
our Trials competitors are wearing them....

Michael and Max, thank you for posting your pictures so soon after
NAUCC. Michael, couldn't you have humored me and "Photoshopped" me ahead
of you in at least one of the track events. You kept telling me you
weren't there to really race, but then I'd spend each race riding in
your draft. You were fun to ride with and race against.

Everybody else who took pictures, please keep us updated about where
you've posted them. People were taking digital pictures like crazy at
NAUCC. I know we all can't wait to see them.
