  1. The British Unicycle Trials Competition was held on 24th April 2004 at
    BUC11.

    There were 17 competitors in all, and three sections – Easy,
    Intermediate and Hard, respectively.

    The results were as follows:

    Section 1 - Easy
    Position: Name: Points:
    1 Aaron Rolf 0
    1 Iain Perves 0
    1 Joe Baxter 0
    1 Mark Lever 0
    1 Michael Emmerson 0
    1 Paul King 0
    1 Phil Himsworth 0
    1 Rick Else 0
    1 Simon McAndrew 0
    1 Tom Pyke 0
    1 Yoggi 0
    1 Zach Cannon 0
    13 Will Halford 1
    14 George M 9
    15 Stephen Jarvis 10

    Section 2 - Medium
    Position: Name: Points:
    1 Joe Baxter 0
    1 Phil Himsworth 0
    1 Simon McAndrew 0
    1 Yoggi 0
    5 Aaron Rolf 2
    6 Iain Perves 9
    7 Michael Emmerson 10
    7 Paul King 10
    7 Rick Else 10
    7 Tom Pyke 10
    7 Zach Cannon 10

    Section 3 - Hard
    Postion: Name: Points:
    1 Joe Baxter 3
    2 Yoggi 4
    3 Phil Himsworth 10
    3 Simon McAndrew 10
    3 Aaron Rolf 10
    3 Iain Perves 10

    Overall top three:
    Position: Name: Total Points:

    1 Joe Baxter 3
    2 Yoggi 4
    3 Simon McAndrew 10
    3 Phil Himsworth 10

    We were using a mixture of ‘Kris Holm Unicycle Trials Rules’ and French
    Trials Rules – as Yoggi was organising it, with a maximum of 10 points.
    If we were to do this competition again, I don’t think we would use the
    10 points rule, as it limited the variation in points.

    Well done to all competitors…. And hopefully a Trials competition like
    this will become a regular thing in the UK.

    Cheers,

    Joe,

  2. Joe, if we get the permanent trials course in Sebergham, Cumbria up and
    running quickly enough, I see no reason why we should'nt hold our first
    'Open' Competition later in the summer after we have had a few trials
    workshops abd practice days etc.

    Once I have stockpiled enough materials it will depend how much time you
    and Simon(?) can spend helping me design and build it.

    We will have to consider caefully what rules we should use.

  4. Great photos, looks like you had a really nice trials course set up
    there. Any videos available?

  5. Wow, I just saw the last few photos. That drop that the guy is
    attempting is absolutely massive! Did he land it? Did anyone measure
    the drop? Did his unicycle hold out okay?

  7. Cool pics Simon!

    Andrew, which drop did you mean?
    If it was the one on the trails course, it was about 5ft (from the top
    of the big cable drum to the smaller one on the ground). If you ment the
    drop Yoggi was doing on the Muni ride, that was about 12ft!

    I spent all his free time on friday and saturday morning fixing his
    wheel (he had broken 4 spokes) and then did that drop, and broke some
    more. It pulled them through the rim.

    I have one short video of me, and a couple of others of me and North
    messing around.

    Paul Royal has loads of video which he is putting up in the galleries
    some time, and if anyone is interested, he is selling them on DVD
    also!

    Joe,

    I couldn't help noticing that Aaron is holding an invisible rail & Joe
    is walking an invisible dog round the trials circuit.

  9. The videos are going up slowly, there's only Joe at the moment. I should
    get Yoggi, Simon and Phil up tonight, and the rest later in the week.
    Look at 'Paul's Gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/paul_royle)
    They're quite compressed so the quality isn't great, I can upload larger
    (~20MB) versions if people want, or just wait for the DVD. There'll be
    some clips from the show and the hockey later too.
    If anyone wants any of the raw footage for their own projects they're
    welcome to it, drop me a message.

    Did you do the drop too? Did he land it? That's an amazing drop.

  11. Great videos! Joe, that gap between spools was really amazing.
    Congratulations. I also liked Yoggi's nice quick crank grab for that
    gap on his second attempt. Only watched those ones so far.

    Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the DVD in Australia? Any
    ideas on prices?

    Cheers,
    Andrew

  12. The videos are up for Joe, Simon, Yoggi and Phil (the top 3 finishers),
    they're between 5 and 10 megs each which is a bit on the large side, but
    they're between 2 and 4 minutes long. I'll break them up into smaller
    chunks for dialup users.

  13. DVDs will free 🙂 (plus the cost of a blank disc and postage). I'll
    keep you posted on progress.

  14. Paul,
    Well done, good filming.

    I would very much like a copy of your DVD when it's finished, yourl have
    to let us know what your discs cost.

    I forgot to ask you at BUC what your email address is if
    unicyclist.comis not your preffered address.

  15. Mike, yeah.. lol My invisable dog! 🙄 I dont know how, but my
    hand always seems to be out - guess it is just the way I ride!

    Andrew, it was only Yoggi who did the huge drop (on the muni ride). And
    he landed it!

    Thanks for uploading them Paul. I might just wait until I get the DVd to
    see them!

    Joe,

  16. Did I take sooooooo long to get round the trials course that the file is
    too big for the gallery? The links to the videos of me don't seem to
    work... 🙁

    I've watched the first three, excellent stuff! Thanks, Paul.

    My legs still really ache even after almost a week. I think I've done my
    right knee in good 'n' proper...

    In the trials gallery the videos for Phil and Iain don't download.
    There seems to be a bad link.

    In the BUC11 Show video with Roger and Rocket there seems to be a
    problem with the encoding. The video goes wonky after the 1:06 point
    and then QuickTime gives me an integer division by zero error.

  18. 😕 I'll have a look at the gallery this lunchtime, see if I can
    sort it out, I had a few problems with our connection during the upload,
    which might explain it.
    I'll post again when I think it's working.

  19. I've fixed it!
    The videos of Phil and Iain are up, I had to reduce the quality slightly
    'cos clips over 10MB seem to upset the gallery or my internet
    connection.
    I've put Roger and Rocket up again, and some stuff of Connie
    Enjoy
