Australian Uni Riders [ONLY]

[kidmuni]

Hey everyone,
If your from Australia please vote for which ever style of riding you do most.
would just like to know the most popular style and roughly how many :D

[Unisykolist]

I do street and trials but mainly street. A good thing to consider is putting multiple choice cos there are a lot of unicyclists who do 2 or more styles of riding. You also forgot to put road/touring but i dont think theres that many anyway...

and by the way, wheres toowoomba? NSW?

[Andrew Mell]

i am pretty much a strictly street rider.
and i ride in sydney.

and tawoomba is in QLD.

I put it in collective sports
Didnt put multi choice because i jsut want people to choose what there main focus is.
Im a trials rider, but i do some street, but my focus is trials :D
Toowoomba is like 2 hours away from brisbane

[samsta002]

I've been riding a few months and tried out a few different things
But my main is probly (round-the-pool) street
Bit of trials and freestyle too
Id like to get into flatland when i get good enough

[1wheelwonder]

i'm mostly street and flat.... GO ME!

[Hazmat]

Well i'm more the speed freak of unicycling. So i chose collective.

Merely because it said "road" in it. Which is where i test my insane speeding. :p

[Dancowling]

yeah streets the only riding you'll see dancowling doing

[kidmuni]

Thanks everyone for voting for your style, im sure theres alot more uni rirders from aus that could chip in.

[MT High]

There are plenty of catergories missing, like performance art, commuting, bar hopping, road, touring etc.

Road is in there. All that stuff will just fall under collective.

Wrong

I ride around Galston and sometimes Castle Hill
Only been riding for 5 months and had my ebay 24 for a while at the beginning before getting my quax


I rekon a large Sydney meet-up ride should be orginised; a chance to meet new people and learn from others. I'd orginise or help but i'm going away (to Borneo) for the next 2 weeks
Maybe after that?

Sydney peeps say if you would come or are interested/ have suggestions

Sam

[Dancowling]

[matty_porter]

[munkey uni]

[samsta002]

Im back

Hey Dan,
I saw that pic of you (im pretty sure) in i think the 07 uni mag on the water
That pic's amazing!


About the possible meetup--Does anyone have any suggestions about skateparks/tracks/areas that would be suitable for a uni gathering?

Theres a skatepark being built near my place sometime before the end of the year
Take a look at this baby (http://www.hornsby.nsw.gov.au/uploads/documents/Galston-SkateParkProposedFinalConceptPlan2.pdf)

That is my suggestion but construction hasnt started yet so it would have to be very late in the year, if held there.

[Dancowling]

hey man, hows it goin? thanks for props on me photo, yeah im thinking prob waterloo street park, we go there alot, and it's really good for unicyclists, got stair sets, rails, alot of boxes and close to city if we wanna head in there after waterloo??? when this ride would happen, maybe next sat or sat after that?? tell us who's free and would be interested in coming

chow:cool:

[samsta002]

We're all too young to drive, and parents wouldn't be too happy about Driving. Would it be possible to ride/ride the bus from the train station to the skatepark??? Is it normally very busy?

[Dancowling]

alright sydney riders, heres the G O, there's a ride happening sat the 2nd of august, starting at waterloo skatepark at 9:00, which is located on the corner of phillip st and Elizabeth st refern, you can ride from central station- few kms, and prob catch bus but no details on busses. all styles are welcome,
give us buzz if you need more details

Dan...

[petad]

Whos kelly hickman? hehehehe.... completey off topic.

Dan...

[samsta002]

Nope; wouldv'e been good though. I did stop in Brisbane airpot for a few hours. It's very nice compared to Sydney's.

[samsta002]

Galston skateparks been pretty much built. Its not officially open and the bowl is still getting finished but me and 3 other unicyclists jumped the fence and rode it all day. I think the fences are going down on the 23rd of november. Its pretty small but really fun. Tell me if anyones thinking of going there and maybe we could ride. I have heaps of (uni riding) mates in the area.

[Dancowling]

yeah man well i'll come down check it out soon, i'll let u know, try bring mattyp and andy with to

[samsta002]

wow man. We're not good riders and the skatepark isn't that big but that would be a really great experience, at least for us. :o

[MarkB]
