Public trials exibition

that would be awesome, whenever i go to ride street i try to explain to
people who are interested that its much more than just clown/parade
stuff.

it would be awesome to have an event that featured all the aspects of
the sport in a public place...hmm who is good at organizing stuff?

it probably wouldn't be too hard to get it involved as part of a bigger
event. The people who run bmx/skate comps would probably agree to a
bunch of uni'ists if they asked for a slot in the comp to do their
stuff - the crowd would love it too... 🙂

UNICYCLE FOR BORIS JOHNSON

Just 1 pint of blood can save up to 3 lives. I guess it's kind of
unfortunate that I'm spilling mine on the pavement.

Public exhibitions are a great idea. Part of the problem may be
insurance issues. I was talking to Darren Bedford a while back and I
THINK(I am not sure), he said that he was having a hard time doing any
more public exhibitions due to insurance requirements. There was money
that needed to be paid upfront that was just too pricey for his uni
club.

I haven't been down to Venice in years, but it seems like you could
just go jump around on stuff as a group, but along the strand there are
too many people, especially on a weekend. I think the cops might kick
you out. John Long would, would know best, as his crib is in Venice.

But, here's an idea. A few years ago, I was playing hookie from some
teacher training at the LA convention center and went into the LA bike
show instead. Inside was a small area cordened off for bike trials
riders. They had a tractor tire, some boxes and some rails.

I would suggest that this would be the easiest place to start out for
an exhibition. I am not up for organizing things much anymore these
days. Just too much family things to take care of. But for anyone who
wants to pursue it and has the time, it might be a way to go.

Terry, for the public exhibition at Venice, I would try LA parks and
Rec. and also pursue the LA bike show angle.

Just my two cents.

Cheers.

There is a section at venice beach where skaters play around. Grind
rails, small half-pipes and walls to hop/drop. It's kinda like a mini
skate park. I've ridden my trials there a few times and had no problem.
It's pretty much open to anyone.

dude, someone needs to get involved with a bigger event, like a huge
concert or something, the sixflags thing was good, but i think that it
would be awesome if some of us could get involved in the shows ... like
last year there was a bike/skateboarding show (i havn't gone this year)
what if there was a unicyclist too?
that would be sick!!
