I had a fantastic time at North Bend Unicycle Skills Clinic and Fun Day,
and I thought I'd post some pictures and some fun memories.
- Getting freestyle tips from Becky, an expert unicyclist.
- Riding freestyle with all the great riders, and getting
complemented on my riding by a bunch of people.
- Hitting up a drive-thru espresso shop on unicycles, with John
Childs.
- Eating chocolate cookie waffles, made by Irene. Delish!
- Going on a 3.25 mile gravel road "Muni" ride with John on his
Coker, me on my 24x3 (should have ridden the 29er...), and heaps of
elementary school team kids on 20" learner unis.
- Eating awesome pizza with the Panther Pride team members who went
to nationals.
- Learning about "slow boards" and getting a good time (22 seconds),
on my first try.
- Winning all of the races! We did 1-foot, WW, regular riding, and
more.
- Getting to ride a "Gyro Uni," a custom-made uni with heavy metal
weights at the bottom to reduce and almost eliminate the need for
back and forth balance. Supposedly reduces learning time to around 4
hours.
- Playing on the trials course with my Muni.
- Successfully completing a nice gap from a high box to a lower box.
- ...just before missing it, and doing an awkward backwards roll down
the stairs, bruising my elbow, hip, and shoulder.
- Watching my little brother learning and improving - he's almost
able to ride 20 feet!
