Re: Addaboys or silence when observing MUni

previewing hours of tape, I have come to this conclusion:

95% of the time, the filmer( I am way guilty) (or spectator should there
be no camera) says 'niiiiiiiice!'

During the actual line they are silent, holding their breathe in
anticipation for the 'niiiiiiiice!' or the 'Ohhhhhhhh!'

On Sunday while Marquez was hopping down a set of stairs he came off
about halfway down. After he came up he told us it was our fault
because we were boostin. So I would say it depends on the rider.

It's a well known fact in Santa Barbara that when I (matt) say anything
like "NICE" or "YOU GOT IT", the rider is destined to fall mid phrase.
Of course for some reason i don't let that stop me from doing it. I'll
show you next time you come up to SB! 🙂

I say "shout it out". No need to restrain yourself. This is not tennis
or golf - it's a fast, exciting sport. The rider should get used to
comments. Non-riders will not be aware of the "decorum" and they are
definitely going to say something when they see a good muni or trials
move.

Everyone's missed the issue of Stylish UPD's. 'bad luck' et al is fair
enough if someone just failed to complete a section, but how about the
points scored for style, technical difficulty and crowd response for
falls involving long distance dives, rolling landings and mid-air
acrobatics?

Not me, I've been giving out style points for years. If a person's going
to fall, they might as well get some credit for the way they do it. This
is where the term "unicycle bowling" comes from.

Speaking of competition, we did have a unicycle bowling competition at
the 2003 NAUCC in Minnesota. The object was to ride fast up to a line,
at the top of the big grassy hill, and jump off the unicycle. You were
scored on how far down the hill the unicycle went. There was some risk
to the unicycles here, and at least one of them ended with a bent part
(the guy who won; bent seat post).

known as the 'Commentators Curse' this is by no means limited to
unicycling
it is good to know that like the mythical 'healing hands', there are

absolutely
not being involved in this side of the sport at all i wouldn't know if
there is some 'unspoken rule' out in the bush
when this becomes a more watched (olympic🙂 ) sport, riders will have to
get use to crowd noise
alltho, taking a leaf from Snooker's book, this makes sense as well

Brian MacKenzie said:

as an added benefit, it also creates more of a sense of anticipatory
suspense in the crowd
nothing as loud as a silent crowd
