Victoria Australia Muni Weekend

[onebyone]

20th and 21st May 2006

I am organising the Muniuni Weekend at Chiltern in NE Victoria.
All riders are welcome. Last years event had a friendly meeting, ride around, a street ride, some basic trials, cross country in the forest, uphill, downhill, watching uni videos at the local pub. A MIXED event!

If you get a bit more info post it up again and I will put it in the news.

[James_Potter]

thats cool

[max_pfeifer]

sounds good. i know a few people who went last year and they said it was great. i will hopefully go this year if i can get there. more info would be great.
i can probably get another few melbourne riders to go as well.

[edsbelly]

yer, sounds awesome!

hope to find out the other details soon.

I think we will have a few melbourneans/kilmoreans in a car pool.

i'm too lazy to look on the net, how far is Chiltern from Melbourne?

thanks,
Ed

[onebyone]

I am waiting for the AUS to give me the go ahead for insurance. Chiltern is about 250 Km from Melbourne. You can get her by train and stay at the local caravan park either in a tent or in cabins.

I am happy to use my car and trailer to transport the unis into the forest.

I have also been busy at work, but will make some time and get to organising it.

Mal

[edsbelly]

awesome!

[onebyone]

How much more information do you want to post this thread?

[onebyone]

Hi Aussie Muni riders.

The Australian Unicycling Society has given me the go ahead to run the event under their insurance umbrella. I need this to use the national park and council land.

All systems go, I will keep people updated through here and my site.
An event like this takes some organising, so please be patient and importantly closer to the event, let me know if you will be coming.

Look forward to a great event.

Mal

[jake_amos]

[dr.melon]

Yes, it raises my pants also. What're we talkin about? What the hells a unicycle?

[dr.melon]

Well ed, your groinal area isn't too spic "n" span itself!
Anyway remember I told you this was me. Don't you remember? I just thought amos didnt know.

[jake_amos]

amos didnt know amos only knows how to talk in third person and be annoying

[dr.melon]

Amos, remember when you said you like to go on these forums and post your ass off when you're bored? I think tonight is one of those nights :)

[onebyone]

Hey guys,
take your insults to each other to another forum. I want to keep this forun for real information only. If you are coming to the event you can insult each other in private in the forest.

[dr.melon]

Insults? We're simply sharing information in an orderly manor.

[onebyone]

Youb sound worse than Tyler

[onebyone]

Youb sound worse than Tyler

[onebyone]

what would we need to bring to this event and what is it like?

[edsbelly]

oh.. you'd like that, wouldn't you!!

I don't think you'll have to wait 'til UniNats, to the sound of it, you might have to make a special trip down to kilmore, Max :p

Ed :d

[onebyone]

Unicycles and it will be as good as you can make it!

[jake_amos]

CHILTERN

just wanted to start this thread again
3 weeks and 6 days to go:D

[edsbelly]

yes. that is correct.

[jake_amos]

3 weeks 5 days

[jake_amos]

[jake_amos]

3 weeks 3days

[onebyone]

Make sure you bring 'High Vis clothing" for the stree ride.
Also thanks for the reminder about how much work I have to do. It is coming together but I would like more riders to let me know if they can actually make it. So far I think I have about 10 confirmed.

[edsbelly]

Hey there Mal,

A group of Melbourneans and Kilmoreans will definately be coming to the weekend. :D We can't wait!

We're looking at ways for us to get up there.

Now.. if we were to catch the train up there, how far is the station from Lake Anderson caraban park? IS it in walking distance?

If we stayed at that caravan park, is it in walking distance to all of the meeting points and the town?

I've been on municycle.com.au, and i read the stuff on the site about the event. So we MUST have knee guards, wrist guards and a helmet?

With the subscription, so we can sign up for AUS when we get to chiltern? And we need to bring $10 each for the ride?

Thanks.

Ed

PS - can't wait to try your 36" UW

[jake_amos]

Also thanks for the reminder about how much work I have to do. It is coming together but I would like more riders to let me know if they can actually make it. So far I think I have about 10 confirmed.

i know atleast 12 of us are also coming up there

[onebyone]

Chiltern is a tiny town so the station is a short walk or ride to the caravan park. The council has notified me that riders must wear helmets and high vis clothing for the street ride.

For my own sanity, I would like you to wear at least a helmet and preferably the rest in the 'formal' bush get togethers. This what they do at MAB etc.

You can join the AUS on the day through me. I have to recheck the cost but I think it is now $20.00 for one year.

My charges is $15.00 for the weekend. This just helps me cover cost. I use my car a bit and have to hire a portable toilet (national Park ) this year....so if you wanna go you will have beautiful plastic box available.

It is great to know you are coming

[jake_amos]

3 weeks 2 days

[mawesome]

So, if we need to join AUS can we still get the early entry fee or will it be $15 instead of 10?

[onebyone]

I don't want this to get too complicated.

An early entry is $10.00 if you send me a cheque/money order before the day. Otherwise it is $15.00 on the day. Early entries can save me time and help with the organisation.

The AUS fees are separate. I will check by emailing Cris the AUS sectretary about how much the fees are and will keep you posted.

The idea of the early entry was to help me know how many are actually turning up and to help me organise the weekend.

[onebyone]

Last year 9 riders turned up. So far it looks like aboy 20 or more will be here this year.

[edsbelly]

sounds like you'll have fun keeping us in line :p

[jake_amos]

hahahahaha...shuttup

so umm whats the deal with this high vis clothing and street ride thing

[onebyone]

I think so.

I have decided to have a lucky draw for all entrants. The prize will be a TWNR DVD by Brian Mackenzie

[onebyone]

The council. When you get to oranise your own event, you will meet authorities

[onebyone]

One of the 3 or 4 Chiltern shoppers may not see you, therefore you could get run over

[jake_amos]

umm by hi vis clothing do you mean bright colours or the reflective stuffs?

[onebyone]

I think bright would be good enough. If there is enough of us, we will be high vis in our own right. Last year the local policeman also followed us with his lights and that made us extremely high vis.
We have a new policeman and I have to ask him if he will do the same.

[jake_amos]

3 weeks 1 day

[jake_amos]

[jake_amos]

hey can we use the wrist support gloves for chiltern

[onebyone]

Yep

[onebyone]

If you mean the KH type, they are fine. Basically anything to help in a UPD. Gee, only 3 weeks.

[jake_amos]

2 weeks 6 days

[mawesome]

Will someone be able to lend me some wrist guards? The only ones I've got are crappy old $2 ones that don't fit anymore, and I really don't feel like shelling out $10 on new ones.

[jake_amos]

ask your parents to buy em you never no

[onebyone]

Hi,

An update regarding the AUS Membership. The cost is $20.00 for 1 year. This gives you insurance benefits required for AUS certified events.

If you joined at Uninats last year you will still be covered (I am pretty sure), otherwise you will have to join to participate in my event. You can join on the day.

The AUS website is also up and running, so please check it out.

[edsbelly]

Kev,

Where have you seen wrist guards for $10?

Hey Mal,

What is there to do in or around chiltern, for the parents who havent learnt to unicycle and don't find much joy in following us around all day?

Thanks,

Ed

[onewheelnatural]

Hey mal. :) my names josh and sadly i know these other kilmorian riders ;P lol. i am 80% sure im coming to the chioltern muniuni w/e. i just need to get some protective wear together. what exactly will i need?

Josh
P.s i know your neighbor. christene :D lool

[onebyone]

What to do in Chiltern for adults.....well the forest is the main attraction so tell them to follow us around! Chiltern is worth a look but will not take too long to see. Rutheglen 20 ks away has some good wineries and coffee shops etc, Beechworth is up the hill the other way and is worth a visit for shopping etc.

[onebyone]

Hi,
the helmet is the main item, bright clothing (the council said high vis but a yellow bike jacket /sweat shirt sort of thing for the street ride.

Wrist guards/bike gloves and some sort of knee protection. The gear can vary from stuff you can but from a bike shop to roller blade stuff. Last year a guy just wore squash knee guards.

I just hate the site of blood

[onebyone]

PS I am not too worried about the wrist and knee guards for the street ride but they are needed for trials and the bush.

[jake_amos]

1 week 5 days

[jake_amos]

umm i heard a rumor that membership runs out a week after chiltern is there anyway that we could get around it?

[onebyone]

The AUS comitte have decided that if you join at Chiltern, you will be a member until June 2007. In essence you get the extra 5 weeks from May to June 30th thrown in.

[jake_amos]

1 week and 4 days

[jake_amos]

1 week 3 days

[jake_amos]

1 week 2 days

[jake_amos]

if i dont have a parent going to chiltern do i need a gaurdian and how would i go about telling who my gaurdian is

[onebyone]

Your parents have to sign the entry form (find one on my site) and whoever is bringing you up here will be responsible for you. Any more enquiries contact me via my email and we can discuss this further.

Yep, I know 1 week to go.

Ed
dw about it:D

[mawesome]

Hey,
I don't wanna sound like a moocher or anything, but will anyone have a uni that I can borrow? I bent my hub yesterday, and I'm pretty sure a 20" trials uni, with 2 bent cranks, a bent hub and a retarded pedal isn't that great for muni riding.

[jake_amos]

yeh i got one but you might wanna bring your own seat and seatpost
mines really screwed and really low but its a 20 is that is alright and its just a generic juggle art

[mawesome]

does it have a seat clamp? Also, does anyone have one of those seat post bracket things? Where you can use a normal bike seat post? I think Luke does, I'll ask him.

[jake_amos]

it doesnt have a seat clamp it has a bolt.

[mawesome]

Thanks, I'll use that if i can't scab a 24" off Mal or someone.....



...*psssssst*Mal, are you gonna have a 24" I can use....... please...

[jake_amos]

MAL you have been summoned

[jake_amos]

so do we have a number how many ppl are going and do we have to fax you the entry form or can we just give it to you when we show up

[onebyone]

Aggh.., just turn up! Pickin up pallets etc and the dunny, my time is dissapearing. No real indication except you guys from down south. Maybe 10 or up to 20 riders. People are not good at indicating who will be here. I will have a couple of spares but you might have to fight over them.

[aubin]

an how do I put a picture on here? my mum is a computer retard :mad:

[aubin]

and how do we get this insurance organised - mum isnt going with me so she needs to sign before the day. is there a contact for this or a form we can download to have in advance?

www.municycle.com.au

It's under "MuniUni events" or something like that.

[mawesome]

DIBS ON A UNICYCLE!!!

One of the good ones too.

[mawesome]

2 questions

1: Does the early entry fee mean it's $10 if we oay before the day, or $10 if we say we're coming before the day?

2: Will anyone be able to give me a lift to a train line that i can get home on? I live on the Lilydale line (metlink)

[onebyone]

This is getting confusing. I tried to do this to help people enter early so I could be more confident in the organising aspect but it hasn't worked. I figured that at the moment, just turn up.

Some people have entered early, some have emailed me and I am sure some people will be here and have not indicated anything. I am thinking now that I will charge everyone $10.00 and tighten up my policy IF I run the event again.

Mal

[edsbelly]

i don't like the sound of that if..

[onebyone]

I always say that, it should be good. All the pallets and logs are sitting at the lake axnxiously waiting to be made into a trials course. I hope they don't get knocked off in the meantime....

[Barry_Clearwater]

2 questions

2: Will anyone be able to give me a lift to a train line that i can get home on? I live on the Lilydale line (metlink)

Mawesome, please explain what you want. Do you want a lift for the home journey only (ie Sunday), Chiltern to a station on the Lilydale line? Or some other trainline that links with the Lilydale line (don't they all)? I take it you are sorted for the Friday journey to Chiltern?

[mawesome]

Yeah, sorry it got kind of confusing. I need a lift home or home-ish (somewhere on the Ringwood/Lilylade line).

[Barry_Clearwater]

I need a lift home or home-ish (somewhere on the Ringwood/Lilylade line).

I will be able to give you a lift from Chiltern to Melbourne on Sunday and can come in via Yea, Melba Highway or whatever is appropriate to get you home. Barry

[onebyone]

No litter, no damage. We all showed a great respect for each other on the weekend, so thanks again for being involved.
ZDunno what it is, maybe we arfe well balanced people#$%%$^ Huh

[mawesome]

Better ge the VCR ready Mal, the news starts in 5 minutes.

[onebyone]

Nah, not tonight. Bloody football. Maybe we could invent a game called Muaussie or uozzi rulz and get some footage.
I will ring them tomorrow to see if I can buy the take.

[mawesome]

Again!?! Damn TV stations. When does the newspaper with the article come out? And can I buy a copy?

[onebyone]

That came out and it wasn't too bad. I will scan it and post it as a photo or I can send an original copy if you want. I stole extra copies from work.

[mawesome]

Yeah, send me a copy. I wanna put it on my wall. I'll pm you my address 'n' stuff.

[edsbelly]

Ed

[jake_amos]

[onebyone]

[jake_amos]

[onebyone]

Ah, I forget about them. Will reply tonight.

[jake_amos]

So I Heard A Rumour That You Are Selling Kh Stuff For $600 20" 24" And 29" All For $600 That Cant Be Beat. So Is That True Malcolm?

[jake_amos]

and for the love of god check your PM's

[mawesome]

Has anyone put all the footage onto a CD yet? I got my friend to download the song I'm use, and I haven't seen/heard anything about the actual videos yet.

[mawesome]

Are we on TV yet?

[edsbelly]

I think i have all of the kilmore footage which i'll have for you on sunday. None of it loooks that good.. coz SOMEONE *glances at amos* is a terrible camera man.

I'm sorry jake, this is the hardest part of my job. You're NEVER going to film for ME again. I dunno about the others. it's up to them

All of the footage is either shakey or on an angle that makes all of the stuff look flat - it wasn't flat.

Although Keven's stuff looks pretty good, coz you can't really stuff up with an UW, they look awesome anyway! There's a lot that you could use, ultimate Kev, I will have the stuff on CD for you on sunday.

you do know ed that the only thing i have ever seen you film was luke and that was shakier then my footage the terrain where we filmed was rough and i had to keep walking because you told me what to DO!!!!!!!!!! plus ed you never had a problem with my footage till max said someting about my filming everything that me and max have a scuffle over you just copy max why dont you film and everyone else can unicycle would you like that!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[onebyone]

Byron has Saturday on his mini hard drive. The news forgot us again. Bl*((7dy softball. golf, foorball or ....whatever.
I will ring them to see if I can buy the footage.

[jake_amos]

this is where ther is a picture over text and option things on your website

[mawesome]

Arrrgggggggghhhh!!!!! KEVEN ANGRY!!! Did you watch after the weather as well?

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! $74 KH Munis. I'll take 12.

ahahahahahahaha

With that footage, for some reason i was on a unicycle.

All of the stuff that you took on the w/e was shakey except where it was tilted, and i didn't ask you to tilt the cam so the terrain we were doing looked crap, did I?

We/I never said that you had to film, you could have ridden too if you'd wanted, i'd have happily filmed the other riders, expecially if it was the only alternative to having dodgy footage.

Next time I think i WILL film it and when i have a line in mind, perhaps i will ask someone competent to take the footage of me.

I've taken a lot of other footage too, Jake, not a lot, but more than you think. When i went down to Melbourne with Heritage boy and rode with Keven, Luke and Max, i filmed a few lines of Max's and Luke's.

My hand was almost perfectly still. Unlike anything i've seen from you.

[mawesome]

Can you see if Byron can put the footage on a cd or 2 or post it up here or something? He's got me going down pipeline super fast and not falling off.

[jake_amos]

ohhh baby

[max_pfeifer]

This thread made my evening so much better (I am studying for the 2 exams i have tomorow). Im surprised gilby or someone hasnt deleted it now that the event is over. Jake and Ed: You guys make me laugh sooo much! Its good to see people are fighting over me even if it is two guys.

Jake- Dude, i have only seen the stuff you filmed for the kilmore movie and, well, you know what i thought of that. Most of the stuff i have seen ed film has been ok (I am yet to see the filming-while-on-unicycle).

Anyways i hope you two dont kill each other or anything.
I cant wait to see the chiltern footage. I wish i was able to have gone!

Cheers,
Max

[onebyone]

Byron will be able to do the CD and I will aslo put the pics that my wife took on it. Just need the weekend to catch up. I asked Byron to edit my crash....

[edsbelly]

Let's stop all this feudin' and a fussin' and get down to some lovin..




(on a different thread, perhaps MR? :p)




Ed

[mawesome]

Yeah, maybe we can get Gilby to put this thread in JC and then back here in time for the next MunUni event.

[onebyone]

We made the news. I just got home after....you guessed it, unicycling after work thinking Thurs would be too late, turned on the tele and after the weather "Now coming up. An unususual past time". So the good news is we had about 1 minute of good coverage. It really was good with the old corny stuff like Mountain Biking has a new twist etc. Stuff like if a unicycle isn't enough challenge, then try a big wheel without a seat.:)







My VHS didn't work., I will ring them

[mawesome]

Ahahahahahaha, Awesome! Did they have me falling off the UW or was it the good take?

Does anyone know of any way to watch the news on the win website?

[onebyone]

No falling off. Just skill!

[mawesome]

Woooohooooo!! Country Australia thinks I'm pro at MUW'ing.
