  1. I did a quick search on this but found nothing.
    The Swedish Unicycle Weekend is coming up and I want to arrange a
    little high jump competition.

    Does anyone know a good way to set up the bar to jump over?

    I guess something like they use for normal high jumping would work, but
    in a smaller scale.

    Does anyone have photos of high jumping bars from other competitions?

    Help appreciated.

    /Felix

  3. i made one with bamboo canes ( froma garden centre)for the uprights and
    cross bar and cable ties ( zip ties) at 2 cm intervals up the uprights
    to balance the cross bar on. The uprights were each held up by being
    placed a hole drilled in a block of wood, then cross bar was balanced
    onthe cable ties so if some one hit it it would fall off. I put blobs
    of foam onthe tops of the uprights to protect any one falling on them,
    but they would fall over if they were hit too. I'll see if I can find
    any pics to post later.

  4. For best results your uprights should be as far apart as possible. This
    will protect them from the numerous bails that will happen during the
    course of a competition, as well as protecting riders from whatever is
    holding up the bar. One simple way to build one is with wood and a lot
    of brads (headless nails) to support your jump bar.

    Always jump from the side where pushing on the bar will make it fall.
    Jumping the wrong way can damage or break your whole high-jump setup.

    At Unicon X in China we used a regular track-and-field high-jump rig.
    It seemed to work fine.

    what a clever idea!
    Do you have any pictures of that setup?
