there is much more to record keeping than having a "high score" page
somewhere on the Internet. you have to carefully consider how a record
is made, who is going to measure it and who will verify the
measurement.

the IUF has put a lot of energy into these considerations; you can find
their methodology in the rule book. Guinness has their own methods for
verifying world records. i'm sure there are many others... this will
make it difficult to collect differently established records and throw
them all on the same page... can they even compare?

simply throwing numbers up onto a page will start all sorts of debates
about which records are real and which weren't verified correctly and
which didn't even happen at all. even the IUF page admits that some of
their posted records are false... what good will a page of faulty
records do for the unicycling community?

We have a page with the newest records, dont know if there all official
but we only put records which cope with the IUF rules on it.

Very impressive if done on a 28":

Avg Speed 23km/hr.

Can anyone tell us what crank length he was using?

Patrick used my 29" (Big Apple 28" x 2.35"😉 with 114mm cranks.
He won this Marathon with the before mentioned time (there were no
Cokers allowed though).

That's insano fast on a 29er, he must be a well good rider. I've only
ever managed to average 13mph for 8 miles on a 29er, and I was
knackered after riding that fast for 8 miles, for a proper marathon
that's just mental.

Are there unicon records? Presumably they'd all be held under similar
conditions, so are guaranteed to be comparable?

Just looked at that page. I've heard various people talk bigly about
having a go at the 100 mile record and the hour records, even on a
coker the current 100 mile record is full on fast like, the average
speed on it must be pretty close to the hour record speed.
