where have you unied?

Well, lets see... strange to me or strange to the public? I'll do
strange to me:

The fountains in battery park (in San Francisco), the formerly empty
fountain in Justin Herman Plaza, inside city hall, inside the California
State capital, Moab, a box-spring mattress on the sidewalk, in my
school, on the roof of my house, into a pool, trials on/in a creek in
Auburn in Sacramento, and a tree. That's about it. Not many strange
places will let you unicycle for multiple reasons.

I got there Friday afternoon, so Zack Baldwin and I immediately set out
to do some trials at the campgrounds. I flatted my tire on the second or
third gap of the weekend. I procceeded to use my muni for trials,
probably takign a month or so off of it's life-span in the process. I
landed some stuff I didn't think I could do on my muni. After trials we
had dinner with Carl Hoyer, Kris Holm, Shannon, Nathan Hoover, Beau,
Megumi, and many more (I'm not good with names). On Saturday morning we
did games, and Saturday afternoon we did slickrock. i had ridden hard in
the morning and i was riding Dan Heaton's muni with the seat tooo high
for me, so I had a really hard ride. I should've taken a hint when kris
holm said to me "I'm reluctant to do anythign on this trail twice." It
was really tiring during the long climb, but everyone made it. On Sunday
we did the Amassa Back trail. It was lots of fun, even with the
occasional creek-without-a-bridge-that's-too-deep-to-ride-through and
300' drops into the Colorado river. I almost lost Dan Heaton'd titanuim
muni into the colorado river about 10' in front of him. He was cool
about it, but i was much more careful for the rest of the ride.

That's pretty much the weekend, although i'm sure I missed some stuff...

Yes, they do the Moab munifest every year. Last years' was like the
fourth one.

And something to add, one of the strangest places I've ever ridden was
the jacob's ladder descent into the valley on the Amassa Back trail.
Only Ben Plotkin-Swing, Rolph Thompson, Joe Merrill, and I tried it.
There were some crazy high-stakes moves on that. Lots of fun, though.

I hve unied in my grams sawmill, a pickup bed, a rock sculrture, off of
a 6' high back porch, on a flatbed trailer, I have even tried little
dirt jumps with it before. (suprisingly, with a rooll up hop, you can do
it!) in a sandbox, across a dock, into the water, skitching a car (I got
that from your website, john!!), what I really want to do though, is
ride in a velodrome (again, from your website, john!) or maybe make a
month trip to unicycle thru and around the Grand Canyon. I have been
there before, and it has some nice stuff to ride.

guess). I also unicycled into St. Paul's Cathedral during mass or

The first Moab Muni Fest was in 2000 and has been happening every year
since. It happens during the Spring break for the Utah schools.
Specifically, it happens during Spring break for Rolf Thompson's kids.

The web site for the Moab Muni Fest is at 'moabmunifest.com'
(http://www.moabmunifest.com/). You can read a little bit about the
history and about MMF 2004 at the 'Moab Muni Fest 2004 information page'
(http://www.moabmunifest.com/files/MMF04_Info.htm).

Check back at that web page next year near Spring Break time to find out
the dates and plans for Moab Muni Fest 2005.

If you do make it to a Moab Muni Fest you may get an award for the
person who traveled the farthest to get there. They've been giving an
award for the farthest traveled every year so far. But you may not be
the only person from Germany there's no guarantees.

The only strange place I've unicycled is on the car deck of a Washington
State Ferry while it was going from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. It
was ferry run near midnight so the ferry was mostly empty. Lots of open
space on the car deck and not many people around. Wheee! 🙂 That got
me down for riding on (in) a moving vehicle in the 'Unicycle Fanatic
Test' (http://www.unicycle.uk.com/uni-fanatic.asp).

The strangest surface me & Luke ever road on was a layer of dumped
apples in a field. Some rolled & some squished, it was great but sticky

They were dumped there by a local apple producer & importer, there were

Unicon 2000 - I rode my coker and my muni on beijing subway trains.

Unicon 2002- rode the 29er on the bainbridge island ferry. Also rode

We're flying Horizon/Alaska Eugene-Portland (OR, USA), and
Northwest Airlines Portland-Tokyo. Northwest allows an amazing 70 lbs. for
each of our allowed suitcases (four total), and 40 lbs. for carryon
luggage. But Horizon/Alaska has a 50 lb per suitcase limit, so we'll be
limited to that. Compared to the rest of the world, though, it sounds
pretty good.
I think Scott and I will take five or six uni's: 20", 24", and
muni for him and maybe for me too. If we can't fit it all in, then I'll
just bring my 24" and try to borrow some other short woman's 20" for the
obstacle course, which is the only thing I'll need a 20" for. Unless I can
actually stay on the slow board for 10 meters.
Scott is working so hard trying to be ready to be gone from work
for five weeks (we're going to Salt Lake City for Nationals, and we're
staying in Japan almost an extra two weeks after Unicon to visit friends
and former boarders AND celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary) that he
hasn't even thought about packing yet. We do have some big suitcases that
we used when we flew to Toronto for NAUCC three years ago, and we packed
our uni's in them for that. If we don't fill them too full, they're under
the 62 linear inches limit.
We're driving to Salt Lake City (and back), so the Unicon packing
will happen the one day we're home before flying out. It will probably be
a little crazy.

How many unicycles are you bringing for UNICON? And how do you make it work

From Denmark we are only allowed to bring 20 kg. And with 3 unicycles, I end
up wearing all my other luggage.

How have other people splved that? Or what are your luggage limitations?
