Workshops at UNICON14

1: Unicycling
Could be:
Best Trick!

2: Talking about unicycling:
could be:
I think that something about health... Everiday we have more
unicyclists and PRO unicyclists... Will be good a help in this way i
think... Or something about techincal info... New technologies...
(Maybe some developer from Koxx or other industrie can teach us )

3: Other
Could be:
Video competitions!!!

And i'm trying here in Brazil to find a sponsor to go to UNICON 😄
My father can give me the Tickets (airplane)... But i will need money
to the charges, hotel (camping or schools), food and other stuff!

Byee!

We are not going to let this thread die yet. Please help us if you have
some ideas for workshops! What about some new uni-games?

I think it would be interesting to have a workshop on doing self
supported unicycle tours (rides that last at least 2 days/1 night).
How to pack a light backpack, what tools to bring, what to expect, how
to train, what sleeping gear to bring, etc.

I am no expert yet, but I have a few rides under my belt...and I hope
to test out a few different set ups for weekend adventures in order to
train for a few adventure rides I have in mind.

I could possibly do the workshop (if I make it to unicon), but there
could be other riders that are probably more experienced with this sort
of thing.

we did an "old geezers" forum at last UNICON (two danish participants
BTW).

- how it is to be an "old geezers" on one wheel
- how to advertise our sports amongst "still young people" (for
instance specific videos)

and so on ....

this should be done again!
(but I probably won't be able to be here,)

This thread definitely needs more attention..🙂

Siafirede, great idea! When will you know if you can make it to unicon,
and in case you can't do you have any ideas who else would be able to
lead a workshop like this?

Wobbling bear, great idea too, who would you suggest could lead this
kind of workshop?

Right now we have some ideas for workshops but we don't really know who
to ask to lead, so please come up with ideas!

Anyone might thought about planning some distance/muni/street tours?
then we would love to hear from you!

We had a fun disc golf tournament last unicon and it was loads of fun. I
helped organized it and would do it again. Does anyone know if there is
a disc golf course nearby? Otherwise it might not work out...

Another "unofficial" one is a beersketball workshop/championship. We've
done something like this the last two unicons and it seems to be a hit!
I'd for sure help organize this one!

And I don't know if there are any good muni trails nearby but it'd be
great to have some fun muni rides.

I would be glad to help put on a disc golf tournament with Jamie as in
Switzerland. We could play at this course in Copenhagen:
http://pdga.org/course/courses_by_city.php?id=1719 which looks decent.
It's 4km out of town by car or a 5 min walk from the train station. The
actual website of the park is only in Danish:
http://www.valbyparken.dk/

Description: Beautiful long, diverse and scenic - with small lakes,
trees and a hill in a well kept park. The fairways range from open to
semi-wooded. Challenges on every hole. Easy to navigate. 3 tees per
hole.

Is there going to be beer pong? I heard great things about it last year
and it would be a shame to miss out on it this year.

I'm happy to do a Unicycle Tour workshop like we had at last Unicon.
I'll bring my laptop and we can show some footage. I wonder if there
are any projectors we could use? I'll talk about the next Unitour as
well.

We like to call it Beersketball but it's pretty much the same thing as
beer pong! And yes, hopefully we'll be able to play it sometime during
Unicon!

finally some news about workshops at UNICON:

Check out http://www.unicon14.dk/gb/workshops/workshop-descriptions/ to
see which workshops we have planned (but not scheduled yet) so far.
Only workshops with leaders are shown, so if you think a workshop is
missing, it might be because we need a leader.
Feel free to suggest workshops and leaders. The more help we get from
you the better!

Some of the workshops only have information in danish and some only in
english. We hope to get everything translated soon.

Katia and Emma

yes disc golf last time was great, it would eb great to do that again

Maybe a wheel building workshop would be a good idea? I think Roger
from UDC Uk put one on last time.

Beer pong is a rather more casual affair, really not the kind of thing
you wnat to timetable, but I;ve no doubt it will be popular again this
year.
