Street moves are for riders who can't clean a trials line. Who needs
to throw a crankflip when they can land a drop on a rail or rolling hop
onto a post?

hey hey motorama was a blast yet again. i would have had pics if i
didnt leave my camera at home.🙁 still had a blast tho. i must say
that riding both uni trials and bike trials at the same time is a bit
tricky but oh well cant complain. next year ill go beginner trials on
the bike. the intermediate lines were harder than i expected. blowing
a brake line didnt help also. cant wait till next year and hope to see
you all there again too.

Well, this year we had yet another very successful Motorama Unicycle
Trials competition in Harrisburg, PA. I like to thank all the
competitors (18 of them I believe) for making the trip out to Motorama,
especially those from Canada who traveled 8+ hours by car to get there.

I like to thank Joey Cohn for stepping up this year to help run the
event.

I like to thank everyone who showed up on Friday to help set up the
trials course. In particular, I would like to thank Joey Cohn, Colin
and family, Amy Hudson, Frank Brown (hell-on-wheel), Brian Maw, Kevin
O’Brien (TheObieOne3226), and others for their time and effort.
Obviously the course couldn’t have happened without the input and labor
from each of you.

This year for the first time at Motorama we had two unicycle trials
classes, a Pro and a Non-Pro class. Joey Cohn and Ben Plokin-Swing
tied for 1st place in the Pro class, with Joey taking the 1st place
trophy after a dual of rocks-paper-scissors. Ben took the 2nd place
trophy and Joel Burgess took the 3rd place trophy. Congrats to each of
you.

For the Non-Pro class we had a 3-way tie for 1st place, with Frank
Brown (hell-on-wheel) taking the 1st place trophy, Amy Hudson taking
the 2nd place trophy, and Nick DiJohn (shadowuni) taking the 3rd place
trophy after a dual of rocks-paper-scissors. Amy is the first girl to
win an award at a Motorama unicycle trials competition and may be the
first girl to win an award at any unicycle trials competition. She is
one heck of a rider who impressed just about everyone at the event,
jumping to the ground from the roofs of cars and riding along skinnys,
one of which was a 2x4” angled at 45 degrees making it very
challenging. Congrats to Amy and each of you winning the Non-Pro
class. Well done!

The official unicycle trials results should be posted by Joey here
soon.

We only had one injury that I’m aware of as a result of the event, by
yours truly, who experienced a right ankle sprain. What happened was
that I had lost my balance on top of a 3 foot sandwich board and fell
backwards landing on my right foot, which happened to land on the slope
of another sandwich board and the ground, causing my ankle to roll
inwards toward my left leg. Spite not being able to walk too well
there after, I was still able to unicycle and cleaned 3-4 more lines
before the time was up. Unfortunately, my ankle has since swollen up
big time and will probably take a few weeks before I can really get
back into full unicycle trials again.

Thanks again everyone for a terrific event and I hope to see everyone
again next year. I can’t wait to see photos! Please post them if you
can.

some of my thouts where that it should have been more combined with the
bikes. They offerd to make a some of there lines uni frendly but you
guys said no. I also think that you should have used nats rules not the
"free trials". and you guys made the bike and moto guys mad by taking 2
cars and the teatertoter that we made and alot of the other stuff they
brought, just fyi.

Dude, was that you with the uni over with the bikes? You didn't even
come over to say hi, let alone help out with set up. I had your medium
shirt there for you, do you still want it? As for the cars, I believe
they were freely offered to us, and the teeter totter thing was an
honest mistake and was graciously returned. As far as NATS rules, they
focus more on competition than having fun.

There is no way we are going back to NATS rules. They are awful. I
think the bikers should compete using the free trials rules, it would
be nice to see them actually ride sections, instead of "strato dabbing"
and essentially walking over the hard parts.

Motorama was great once again. It was a fun course. I'm pretty tired
after all the "cross country" lines we had set up (lines which traverse
most or all of the available obstacles).

thats the whole point you use your brain to dab where you want to. I
under stand that you use the free trials to promote fun but i think
they make things to easy i atleast think you should have taped out
lines

Sounds cool! I've always wanted to ride with other trials riders, bike
or uni.

Surely someone has pics/videos?

Yeah, Motorama was a lot of fun again this year. Thanks a lot to
everyone who helped set up. It was really nice having the cars this
year because you never really get a chance to use them in lines at
home. The coarse was particularly tough this year, but still a lot of
fun.

Thanks,
the Muscos
