Come on Cathy! It can just be a film with a unicycling twist to it! Do
it like a touring video, showing loads of cool places near where you
live, but with info about unicycling too! You can think of something
relevant, I'm sure. And Gkmac, there's tons of great rides near you I'm
sure. If you don't think your skills are good enough to warrant a video
about them, make it about something else, the area you live, what
unicycling means to you, the places your ride, etc...

Think outside the box, even I don't want to see 7 videos all with just
skills in them, it gets boring quickly... Having said that, thats
probably what I'll be focusing on.

We're going to the Darkside at Mabie, Dumfrieshire. Are you familiar
with it? Northshore style wooden structures mainly. It will be either
the 7th or 8th of April, depending on the weather. If you're up for it
I'll let you know exactly what's going on just before we go.

Theres currently three going, hoping to get some video while we're
there.

Yeah I've been there, it's pretty good. Quite hardcore in places.
Also hard to find the good bits if you've no map (or sense of
direction, like me!).

7/8th April is next weekend right? I'll see what I can do and let you
know through PM.

Just put your best stuff into one vid, I dont think there is need for
seperate videos for different styles.

It would probably be easier to chuck all the different styles into one
video, saves time as there is now 10 videos. That is what most people
are doing i think.


Also! since there are so many entries, the length of each video has
been shortened to 5 minutes! if you feel you need longer, please
contact me via PM.

*Rules* (thanks Anso)

1. To compete, one member of the team which produced the video must
participate at BUC. It can be either :
- the person who filmed
- the person who edited the video
- one of the main riders (not someone who appears only few seconds)
2. the video should be new material and should not be released until
after BUC
3. the film cannot exceed 5 minutes, it must be about unicycling, not a
commercial video

Great idea! I love filming and editing films! My riding skills arn't
really up to scratch though, so i will probably have to go for an arty
vid or something. I will have a go at throwing something together. Im
looking foward to seeing them all at BUC!

Ride on!

Would it be an idea if the video competitors brought their video to BUC
on a CD or DVD?

Then we could make them as big video files and not have to worry about
filesizes (for emailing).

We could also have a "viewing" of all the vids and not all have to
crowd round a wee image.

Just a thought.

Thanks to everyone for getting into the spirit on this thing...it sounds
like it is going to be a good (light hearted) competition; there is so
much interest that I am thinking that I should make some kind of 'gold
disk' plaque that the winner could take home and hang in pride of place
in their home (and feel like a rock star every time they look at it).

You can post/email your entries to me; let me know where I can download
them or just bring them on DVD or VCD to the convention. I am planning
to play the entries from a laptop so any video format should be OK. We
are planning to play DVDs and stuff on a big screen in the bar and so
do feel free to bring anything that you feel is entertaining - for the
competition or just in general.

Looking forward to seeing you all in May - please don't forget to
pre-register and save cash. We have Luke Wilson, Tommy Baker and
Tempei for the show so far with Maynard FlipFlap compereing.
