I'll be there too, but I'll be a bit late (usu there at 1, but this
time, more like 2:30). My guni won't be there --- it's out of
commission for awhile due to a stripped thread. David Bagley's might be
there, but he's only planning to attend from 1-2, so be on time if you
hope to see it. He's also bringing the world's only sideways-riding uni
(built by Tommi Miller) that he's still learning to ride.

I'll be bringing a Super Trick Cycle, the world's (?) only
spinning-frame unicycle, an ultimate wheel, an impossible wheel, and
some other stuff. A good time will be had by all, promised, and I am
really looking forward to meeting some of you first-time visitors.

'These directions' (http://tinyurl.com/79m3g)

Are the above directions right? Can anyone give me easier (more
direct)directions to follow (from 495), it seems like there are a lot
of unnecessary turns.

Those directions will work, but it might be easier to get off the
highway at 96th St and head uptown on Riverside Drive. We're at 122nd
and RSD. RSD is a bit odd at that spot because it 'opens up' around the
Grant's Tomb area. I think there is some more info about this at the
club's website (newyorkunicycle.com). See you tom'w!

Im sorry I am pretty bad with directions. I am pretty sure I can get to
"Henry Hudson Parkway (9A) to exit 12 (125th Street).", but what is the
best way to get to riverside from that exit? The site mentions that
there is street parking on riverside, so hopefully I can find a street
spot...if not is there a garage or anywhere else I can park?

I am 99 percent sure I am going tomorrow, so I am looking forward to
meeting everyone. I will plan on getting there early(noon, in case
anything happens on the way and i get lost) so I can try out a schlumpf
and der Uber Coker (assuming that andrew will be there).

I will be bringing my KH trials and skippii's geared giraffe.

Okay, being the young college student that I am...I am impulsively and
without much preparation thinking about going to the NYUC meeting on
saturday. I really want to try out the schlumpf 29er and der Uber
coker. If I do decide to make the drive, are these two unicycles going
to be there? I know andrew has der Uber coker, and from other videos I
have seen someone had a schlumpf 29er. So to those two
unicyclists...will you be attending tomorrow? What time should I
arrive, and should I drive into the city or...park somewhere and take a
train or what? I am driving from the DC area.

I have nothing planned, but I am sure that if I drove up it would be a
fun time, and I could do something in the city afterwards. As of now
this is up in the air for me, but I will know for sure sometime
tonight.

I should be there by around 2:00pm. I look forward to meeting you and
Chrashing. Unfortunately, I won't have my Airfoil Coker or my geared
giraffe ready for tomorrow, but I will have der Uber and my stock steel
rim Coker.

Great! One last thought before I go to bed:

Can someone who is relatively small bring one of their cokers or a
small seatpost that will fit der Uber Coker, Im afraid that the seat
will be too high and I wont be able to lower it (that would be a major
letdown).

Time to sleep so I can make the long journey up there tomorrow.

When I got der Uber, I took off the Kris Holm seat Kris had on it and
put on an air seat beacause air seats are the only type of saddles I
can ride with. The KH seat that der Uber came with has a very short
seatpost and I will bring it with me for you tomorrow, so you shouldn't
have any problem. See ya tomorrow!

Had a great time today, HCC brought a 36" uber Coker( I didnt have the
balls to try it)
I pretty much got the hang of a rolling mount.

I also had a great time. Everyone I met was really nice. Thanks to HCR
for letting me ride der Uber Coker as much as I did. I did not want to
get off that thing!

my highlights:

1) der uber coker - so fast!
2) trying to pirouette(spelling?) on a coker (banking those turns is so
fun!)
3) David's crab cycle...really challenging!
4) trying a BC wheel for the first time (thanks to david stone)
5) Meeting all the NY area riders
6) Eating a jumbo slice of pizza (thanks David).
7) having my poorly planned trip work out
8) unicycling to central park after the meeting.

You have a great group over in NYC.

I will post some videos I took with my camera soon.

It was great to meet you guys last weekend. I enjoyed seeing the
talented riding and the awesome unique-cycles.

Just one of the cool things was to watch HCR on the der uber Coker, to
see him fly with Harper's geared hub was phenomenal. What a beautiful
hub it is, and such a sleeper. You can't tell without looking for the
hub, only the speed of the rider gives it away. We'll, speed and maybe
the sound of the UPD. With that speed, hitting the ground is noisy,
must be all the energy dissipated with the feet hitting the pavement.
Nobody fell, but they ran like hell not to.

No problem... it was great meeting you! Hope you can make it to another
meeting sometime.

You are quite a natural when it comes to Cokers and guni's. You really
rode der Uber like a madman... and your banked turns on my stock Coker
were really smooth and nice, too.

Your attempts at pirouettes looked really good. One day you just keep
pedaling and make that transition from circling to spinning... it just
clicks somehow. I think you'll get it pretty quickly once you have your
own Coker to practice on.

Thanks a lot, Ken!

It was great meeting you, too! Cool t-shirt with your avatar!

Hope you can make it back sometime!
