  1. Does anyone know how UNICON's going? I heard Xav won the street so I
    guess that's no big surprise to anyone!

    Which other well known riders made it to Switzerland?

    Have there been any new world records?

    Is there any other news from the street or trials riders? Any good
    bails caught on camera?? :p

  2. ive been wanting to know the results too but havent really found out
    anything.

    some guy was going for a standard skills routine with a base score of
    305.6, which is very impressive considering the maximum possible score
    is about 318.

    They put on panda suits and then pretend they're milking a cow. It's
    art. You wouldn't get it.

    height... 98cm! He was going for a metre, but meh, 2cm off...

  6. There have not been any live telecasts from UNICON XIII. Leo announced
    in one of his recorded reports that the video capture card that was
    needed to make the live broadcasts work had failed and the replacement
    was not compatible. In a post, he said that he had decided to
    concentrate on recording events for the DVD that he plans on selling
    rather than spending any more time trying to get the live broadcasts
    working.

  7. Truthfully, I really don't care alot about seeing everything that goes
    on in the gym-sure, it's interesting, but you can only watch so much
    freestyle...Of course, I'll watch it all anyway. 🙂

  8. Gosh, I like the freestyle section! Not that I've ever seen any UNICON
    (what's it stand for?) but I've seen freestyle and I never get tired of
    it!

  9. UNICON is a mix of unicycle and convention, I read that in the uni
    magazine.

  10. That is correct: UNICON is shorthand for UNIcycle CONvention. UNICON is
    the world championships and convention event sanctioned by the
    International Unicycling Federation, Incorporated, a not for profit
    group dedicated to promoting unicycling as a sport. A UNICON is held
    every two years. Local organizing committees organize and run the
    UNICON events with help from IUF officers and volunteers from
    throughout the world. It is similar to how the Olympic movement works,
    but on a much smaller (and, as in the Olympics of old, completely
    amateur) scale.

    UNICON XIII is being held right now in Langenthal, Switzerland. UNICON
    XIV is scheduled to be held July 26 through August 4, 2008 in
    Copenhagen, Denmark. UNICON XV is currently being planned for Darwin,
    Australia in 2010.

  12. Some of the UNICON XIII results are available here:
    'http://www.unicon13.ch/uni/cms/front_content.php?idcat=27&changelang=3
    ' (http://tinyurl.com/r35dt)

    I update this page as soon as I get data from the organizers of the
    different competitions. I hope, that I get the Freestyle data today.

    You can only watch so much modern day street. Three words: crank flip
    spam. Old school street was more interesting, although there are some
    riders taking it in a nice direction like Xav.

    Anyway, that is some great flat land coasting distances.. also some top
    performances by Germany.

  19. One of the podcasts indicated that there were over 600 competitors for
    this event. It is nice they have the postings online for the track and
    field events. However, other than the video of Amy and Ryan's
    beautiful riding and some pairs snippets in TV video, I've found very
    little on-line information about the artistic/freestyle results for
    UNICON XIII. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

    My wife and sons (11 year old Alex and 13 year old Paul) are at UNICON.
    I was very happy to hear via phone call that Alex took first place in
    his age group for individual freestyle and Paul was second in
    Individual Freestyle, and 3rd in artistic pairs. They had worked very
    hard on creating and practicing their routines and it was nice to hear
    they did well in that competition.

    It was _very_ hot during the beginning of the week and has cooled
    somewhat during the last few days. Maybe our boys will not take US air
    conditioning for granted when they return. Tuesday is a banquet and is
    also a national holiday. Stores will be closed and buses run very
    limited schedules.

    The racing / field results are available immediately upon conclusion of
    the events. The local organizing committee have control of the racing /
    field results. Therefore, the racing / field results are available for
    almost immediate posting.

    The atistic results usually require a great deal of post processing.
    They typically remain under the control of the Artistic Director /
    Chief Judge until the conclusion of UNICON ( or NAUCC).
