I live in Ponoka, about a half hour north of Red Deer. As far as I know
there are no uni competitions in the area. There is not a lot of
cohesiveness among the riders here. Every town seems to have at least
one rider, but it's hard to find them.

I have been wanting to do a unicycle convention for Alberta, but
attracting enough people is the hard thing. I know there are
unicyclists in Red Deer, Lacombe, Bently, and of course, Ponoka. I
would plan one here, except I am terrible at planning anything, and
Ponoka has no almost no MUni, any objects half decent for trials are
spread out over the whole town, and the rest is just boring.

There are clubs in Calgary and Edmonton, and one (sort of) here in
P-town. Unfortunately the Edmonton club is not running this winter.

Sorry I can't be much help, but if you want to hold a small
convention/competition, I would definitly come out and drag a few
others with me.😄

Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving in a
pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly
used up, totally worn out, and loudly declaring, "WOW what a ride!"

Hey, sorry you are so bitter about the EUC, but it is a good club. I
know Chris was selling good quality cruisers for about $200, but that
was just for a learn to unicycle class. I've never heard anyone even
jokingly say that you could get an awesome uni for $200. The club has
recently fallen apart because of the absence of the leader and
coordinator, Chris Taylor, but we'll get it going again.

but anyways, to get back on topic ..I cant count how many times I tryed
to make somehting happen in alberta for unicyclists.. never got any
response from anyone.. not even the edmonton unicycle club.. I think a
street even would be the best considering the sick milenium park in
calgary..

I think the main problem is that a lot of unicyclist don't get ont sites
like this, so they never connect with the guy in the next town. I think
if you got enough riders connected, you could pull off some sort of AB
meet. But even with a good connection, riders are too spread out, and
people too busy, I doubt if you could round up even 50 riders at any
given time.

Well was I was trying to do is one huge event not just an AB meet.. cauz
most of the edmonton club do not street ride anyways..I think Alberta
has sooo much potential for a uni week end.. seriously we have the
bigegest skatepark in the world for street + the rockies for Muni what
can you ask more ?

That is true, but attracting enough people is still a big issue. It
would have to be well organized. There would have to be something
different or unique about the event, I think, if you wanted people to
come- especially from outside of AB. There are already uni comps in
other places, people can only afford to do so many, so they choose the
biggest, or more exotic places.

Perhaps the thing to do would be organize a Central Alberta
competition, and try to make it grow from there. It is hard to start
big, but it can always work it's way up.
