Yeah, this guy is Doper the banned user. O yeah and you cant call it world championships if the IUF isnt involved.

[Jonny_Peacock]

...just needed a spot to host this for later....ill be on later to post homework to printwhen i get home too.

[crankmychain]

My name ain't Doper, never was. It's Dan Kaufman and I make cycling videos.

“The World Championship of Unicross” is, in fact, what it was called.

Your point is taken though, the race was not IUF sanctioned and I mention this in the video. But, correct me if I am wrong, I am not aware that there is a Unicross governing body.

Big picture; I think the event is good for sport unicycling.

[maximus unius]

Well this guy made a thread in RSU a while ago and it sounded like he was incharge of it. Then he got banned and made an account called pdxan. Sound farmiliar?

I like your last name. Sounds cool. =p

As far as I know, we do have other championship races, but not one set up for unicross yet. Cyclecross is like DH combined with trials. Because the trail, usually has obstacles to get over and to use.

For unicross it would be like Muni and trials combined.

Hmm, maybe we can incorporate unicross races into this years NAUCC.

I know they are still planning it out cause they don't even have a street event in their yet, so we could fit in unicross too. If not this year, it will be something for next years. =p

As you said, it is good for unicycling, as a sport. We don't get much coverage, and when we do, like we did here, its always gonna be good.

[gordito8me]

so how many people ended up coming the the "world championship"?

[crankmychain]

Godito, There were 5 unicyclists and several hundred people watched.

Great ideas, Jerrick, you have a constructive attitude and approach. FYI, cyclocross racing is supposed to include approximately 1/3 road, 1/3 grass and 1/3 single-track off-road type paths. There is also supposed be a certain amount of barriers that require a racer to dismount and carry their cycle. For Unicross I think you would want to have some sort of requirements on how long you could stay off the unicycle or points for making barriers without falling off.

I also think it makes sense to keep this Unicross concept tied to cyclocross events because it is good for both sports from a marketing and/or spectacle standpoint and since the courses are already being built unicyclists might as well take advantage.

Wow...so you are saying since you are 12 you can't handle looking at a picture of someone holding beer?

[maximus unius]

No im not. Im just saying that it's not exactly appropriote to be putting something like that up on a "family friendly" forum.

Your sig has the word " Nipples " In it, I consider this profane language. Please remove it and stop corrupting kids on this forum with these horrible words.

[Danni]

Your sig " Nipples "
Oh nooooooo, my virgin ears!

Oh evan, Your avatar contains violence, better remove that aswell!

WTF, How are pictures of beer gonna offend anyone, its not like its porn! Maybe if you are that easily offended/shocked/padded-from-the-outside-world, you should not be on a forum that contains such a wide variety of people, cultures and discussions!

Rock on!

[Spencer Hochberg]

I guess John Childs is inappropriate too because his avatar is Guinness beer.

Anyway...this thread is really off topic now.

[MrBoogiejuice]

Ah I see... I'd been wondering why I'd seen parents covering their childrens eyes every time they went near the booze aisle in the supermarket, or to a public concert, or past a roadside cafe, or to a restaurant.

If you're that easily offended you're going to be a gibbering mess by the time you get to college.

Leave the chap alone or go and organise a unicycling event with at least 500 spectators.

[iridemymuni]

he can call the damn race whatever the hell he wants to call it

[maximus unius]

Yeah, ok, lets go beat up on the kid who said that there shouldnt be pics of beer on the fora. Seriously, lay off ok? What the hell is wrong with you people.

DannyK,
thanks for posting the video from the 1st Annual World Unicycle Cyclocross Championships. I'm bummed I couldn't compete due to my broken ribs. Awesome video.

I plan to work with the IUF over the next year to have this as a sanctioned event so as not to create more controversy.

Thanks to Unicycle.com for loaning me their banner and the Cross Crusade folks for welcoming us 1-wheeled folks to the 2-wheeled venue. Special thanks to the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association for their graciousness in allow us.

I think this is another great way to help grow this very cool sport!!
Be safe - rubber side down

Thanks for posting the video. Neat to see since I was too lazy to go there in person and race.

Actual unicross racing would get a bit tricky. The intent is to race on unicycles. But for sections of a cross course would be faster to run while carrying the unicycle than to ride. That would be true for the muddy sections. It's not the intent of a unicross race to turn it into a foot race. So there would have to be something in the rules to require people to ride except when going over the obstacles.

Bikes are different because it is almost always faster to stay on the bike than to dismount and run with the bike. Not so with unicycles because riding speed is about the same as running speed.

Oh, and Terminator Stout is better than Guinness even though my avatar seems to say my preference is otherwise. :)

That was the funniest post EVER!

[one wheely]

i've seen worse stuff around :)

[Jerrick]

Hehe, i'm glad no one has said my avatar isn't appropriate for a family forum. :D

[Danni]

Are those lesbians?

[Spencer Hochberg]

Are those lesbians?
umm, that is him...

[Jerrick]

Are those lesbians?

Bastard... lol

:rolleyes:

[Danni]

oh... *shits himself*

Sorry buddy, just the image is so small, and you have long hair.
That chick on the left is really pretty. Lucking bastard *farts*.

[Jerrick]

No offense taken at all.

I'm really used to it. At least you didn't compliment my assets, like some other guys have, and then when I turn around they are just in shock. Its very funny.

The picture was took with a camera phone, then had to shrink it to have it fit here, so it is kinda blurry.

That chick on the left is really pretty. Lucking bastard
I couldn't agree more. :D

Hahahahaha!!! That's awesome. I often get looks from people because my left earing is pierced. Little kids look in shock at my earing and my gross teenage mustache:D .

[Doper]

Attention: Girls and girls!

I have a secret. Wanna know it????
K-Fed is Doper
Prove it otherwise and you win a prize.

Dan Is not Doper.
and you know what? neither is Dan.
Suck on that.

Things that MUST be said:
1-Terminator stout is horrible, yet for what it's worth it is the least offensive in the bland and incompetant McMenamins' lineup.
2-Jesus, mary and Stella McCartney, Maximus Unius! Give your juvenile,grassy knoll theories a rest! I ACT ALONE! Suck it up!
3-WORLD UNICROSS CHAMPION = Gilbran Chong.
4-Danni, Let's go hunting. I hear Dick Cheney has room in his party.(yes This is an old joke, yet I believe it is still pertinent)
5-All you need is pie is all you need.
6-Buh-Bye
