Dan is still healing. From a medical/theraputic/common sense point of
view, Dan's participation in the Street competition at MUni Weekend was
a very bad idea. Too much chance of re-injuring his injuries.
But I could tell it was important to Dan to be a part of it. He was the
main main inspiration for the event. If Dan Heaton didn't create the
Street Freestyle concept, I don't know who did. Though others may have
done similar riding years earlier, through Dan's work on the videos, his
riding, and the riding of all the others shown, is being exposed all
over the world, even to non-unicyclists.
Many people are entering this sport based on what they've seen from Dan
and Kris Holm. They want to go straight to Street-type activities, even
there were no competitions for that, and lots of competition events in
other areas. Many new riders these days are unaware of those other
areas.
So Dan, and everyone else who has to wait while their injuries heal, be
good to yourself so your riding won't be hindered in the long term.
