I'm probobly going to goto MOAB this march and just have a
few questions for people previously there.

How is it structured? For example do you just go wherever
you want on your own or does the entire group of attendees
pretty much stay together and hang out. This is my main
concern seeing as how I would be the only person I would
know previous to attending, and if your expected just to
break off into your own little group of friends I don't want
to be standing in the middle of slickrock chillin out by
myself while everyone has their friends to play with.

What skills are expected of an attendee? Like how good am i
expected to be. Am i going to be expected to go down a tough
course while 1-foot wheel walking or what?

Really, any input about moab and how its structed and
basically just everything about it would be nice to know
before I decide if I'm 100% sure I'm going, while i know i
would definitly enjoy the experience no matter what.

From the 'Moab MUniFest Info Page:'
(moabmunifest.comMMF04 Info.htm)

"In the afternoon, various rides will be suggested. From
the Slick Rock trailhead there is the 1-2 hour practice
loop (2.2 miles) or the 5-7 hour main loop (11 miles).
Other single track trails in the Moab area will also be
suggested for group rides. Plan your water and energy-food
needs accordingly. The afternoon riding should get
underway between
12:30 and 1 pm and end in time for dinner. As done last
year, Saturday night at 6:30 pm we’d like to have dinner
together and have the awards and prize give-aways.
Arrangements for a suitable venue are in process."

Basically, all you gotta do is join a group. The practice
loop will have lots of people on it, and as you ride, you
can find someone to ride with. The best part of the MUniFest
is the friends you make while you're there. Last year I rode
the practice loop backwards with a friend, and by doing
this, I missed out on meeting other people (not that I
minded riding with you, Tron!)

Very few skills are needed to go. We had 6-year-olds out
there last year who were still learning to free mount. On
the other hand, we had the best Street and MUni riders in
the world there as well. If you can ride the unicycle for a
couple of miles, you're qualified. The more skills you have,
the more fun you'll have, but no matter what, it will be a
blast! I'm sure you'll be getting other responses as well.
Anyone who went last year (with possibly the exception of
the guy who had to walk all the way out with a hurt ankle)
had an absolutely wonderful time. If you're the only
unicylist you know at the moment, you won't be after Moab!
