This event has a great amount of interest, but who is in charge?

Let's put someone in charge of organizing... like Tigger &
HardcoreCokerRider.

Suggested dates to AVOID: Moab MUni Fest, March 24-26, 2006

I really like the dates March 11th or 12th, but keep in mind Ray's is
very busy on the weekend.

I'm pretty sure HCR is organizing it, since he sorta invented the sport
and all...and is looking for sponsors...and organized last year's
event.

Any weekend! Can we get in after-hours like last time?

I would like to go, but my only available weekend in march would be the
last weekend.

if that works, count my in, if it doesn't work, I won't have to smash
my face in

It would be really great if you could participate again this year...
without smashing your face this time! I'm going to be in LA the last
weekend of March, so that won't work for me. Let me know if any of the
dates listed below work for you...

sounds ncie. we have about 10-15 muni riders around akron/cleveland who
would be in. i plan to buy their annual pass and visit weekly. The
owner is real cool about MUNI. It's all about bringing respect to our
sport. Last year, the policy was NO BMX'ers. This year, they have
select times for bmx.

"10-15 muni riders around akron/cleveland who would be in"... that's
freakin' great! Any of them ride Cokers... or are they all 24"/26"
riders? The 24"/26" competition is going to be REALLY competitive this
year! I hope we can get a decent turnout of Coker riders, too. You're
-so lucky- to live near Rays! I'm sure Ray remembers me from last
year... we chatted for a while and he was eager to have me back again
for another competition... just mention the guy on the 36" unicycle
whose head had an intimate encounter with the pipe going across his
ceiling (which is the closing scene in the video I posted a while back
that was shot at Rays) and that should jog his memory!

Hopefully there will be enough interest that it will be easy for
someone nearby (or passing by) to give you a ride. As a last resort, I
could probably take a detour and come pick you up.

I think we should be able to get in again after-hours like last time.
Can't wait to see you tear up that course again (I'll have to add more
difficult sections this time). You really blew me away with your riding
last year. I especially loved at the end when you rode those
consecutive quarter-pipe style ramps in the back of the place backwards
(you rode the ramps backwards, not your unicycle - which was
incredible! Riding the ramps on your unicycle backwards would be a
formula for a broken neck and/or skull)!

_________________________________________________________________

I'll speak to Ray and find out about renting the facility after closing
time so we can have the entire place to ourselves again.

REGARDING DATES, WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING WEEKENDS WORKS BEST FOR
EVERYBODY:

F e b r u a r y 2 5 t h & 2 6 t h
M a r c h 4 t h & 5 t h
M a r c h 1 8 t h & 1 9 t h

I made a mistake by including Feb. 25th & 26th (Ray has an event
scheduled on Feb. 25th), so I've replaced that choice with Feb. 19th
and Feb 20th (I believe that was close to the date we held it last
year).

[ C O L O R = \ " B l u e \ " ] _ T h e _ u p d a t e d _ c h o i c e
_ o f _ d a t e s _ a r e : _

F e b r u a r y 1 9 t h & 2 0 t h
M a r c h 4 t h & 5 t h
M a r c h 1 8 t h & 1 9 t h
A p r i l 1 8 t h & 1 9 t h

If Brian can't make any of the above dates, then we can also include
the original date, March 11th & 12th as an option.

april's date works perfect for me, all the other dates are sketchy at
best, if even do-able...

(thanks for being so accomodating, but whatever works best for the most
of course!)

I seem to be having major difficulties getting my list of dates
straight... the correct April optionis April 8th & 9th (NOT April 18th
& 19th, as my last post indicates).

Ok, Brian... then I'd like to try for April 8th & 9th. How does that
work for weveryone else?

Riding them from the other direction would've been nearly
impossible...hmm, something to shoot for. April 8-9 works for me
(though March 11-12, 18-19 are the beginning and end of my Spring
Break).

I think April 8th or 9th would be great! After hours I think would be
best, that way we can set up for stuff and not be in the way.😉

Might not be "nearly impossible" from the other direction on a Coker,
though from what I remember there wasn't all that much run-up distance
between them, which makes it more difficult (on the Coker, anyway). It
would probably be doable on a Coker with longer cranks for quicker
acceleration. I wouldn't bet against you doing it on your Muni,
though... because there were at least 3 sections you cleaned last year
that I didn't think were doable on anything smaller than a Coker... til
I saw you in action!

*IT LOOKS LIKE -APRIL 8 & 9- IS LOOKING GOOD.

::I'll speak to Ray about locking in the date and having use of the
place after hours.::*

Here's a pic from last year's event from a section I really liked
(sorry for the lousy qualty). The section doesn't look like anything
special, but it was a bit tricky on the Coker (the 24"/26" guys didn't
have any problem with it at all). It took me several attmepts to nail
it because I had to have just the right entry speed and then maintain
my momentum through the dip. It really was a lot of fun! I can't wait
for this year's event!

Chris, Nick and myself and maybe a few others from The Wonders Uni Club
might be able to make it. We were just talking about how much fun we
had there last year.

It is a great place and lots of variety.

Hey Brian, got another movie to premier? 🙂

is incredible! (and I'm not talking about the part where people lifted

This sounds like a lot of fun, but I have a few questions. How much
will it cost to get in? Will there be a 19" competition? Can anyone
give me a ride from Wisconsin?
