  1. Well, it is official.

    As of today, all the members of SWAT were added to Arrow Racing's
    factory team list. Appearently we will receive jerseys, banners,
    stickers, and free/discounted merchandise (on all merchandise I
    believe). We are to frequently submit photos of the 2005 season for
    Arrow to use as publicity photos.

    We sent them a fairly lengthy packet of information about all types of
    unicycling, our skills, lists of events, and years riding. We also sent
    a list of the 10 skill levels of unicycling. Gus (the owner of Arrow)
    got back to us today through snail mail with a letter declaring the
    sponsorship.

    I never would have expected it. I thought that Arrow would have blown
    us off as a joke, but appearently we can explain things well. I just
    hope they respect and revere the unicycling community as much as I and
    the other members of SWAT do.

    Now to get them to make some prototype frames....😄

    edit- I know you guys probably don't care, but I thought it was cool
    news :p

  6. Congratulations... that's AWESOME! Maybe you can send them some photos
    from the SWAT/HCR/MacKenzie group ride we're planning at the ESPN
    skatepark. On that note, perhaps someone should post a separate thread
    and maybe we can finalize a date and get an even bigger turn-out!

    Im psyched for you guys about the sponsorship!

  11. We will eat Big and his brother Huge for breakfast. We will definitely
    have a solid grip on Extreme.
    Also, we plan to break a properly laced arrow rim, by acheiving said
    level of extreme.

    Well, Obie said he can make it between the 4th and 13th of March and
    Brian MacKenzie said he can make it during mid-March, so I figure as
    close to the 13th as possible would work best.

    I am talking about the skatepark at the Franklin Mills Mall (I had
    posted pictures of some lines I wanted to try there on a previous post).
    I went there a little while back and had a great time, though I couldn't
    get much practice on certain lines that I was psyched to try because it
    was quite crowded (and I didn't have my airfoil rim at the time so I was
    also a bit concerned about doing big drops).

    Did you ride your Coker when you went there? Which ramps did you ride? I
    was under the impression that I could only ride there during a BMX
    session... did you ride there during a skateboarding session?

  13. i went during normal hours, no particular session goin on. just some
    skaters there, and they didnt get in my way, nor i theirs. i rode all
    over that place on my trials uni; it was the last hurrah for my KH
    wheelset before i got my arrow/profile setup.

    I had a blast riding my Coker to the top of the big straight ramp and
    back down... it's higher and steeper than the one in NYC. And now that I
    have an airfoil rim... I'm psyched to attempt riding over the jump with
    the spine as well as the line I attached a picture of above.

    Riding at that park with Brian MacKenzie and the members of SWAT (and
    whoever else wanted to join us) would be awesome! You know you'd get
    some amazing pictures for your new sponsor 😄 !

    Avatars on this site are anything but immortal. Except that I know one
    guy on the forum who saves them all.

    Good job on the sponsoring!
