On one hand I'm glad for all those riders on the east coast, but on the other hand, it isn't the greatest thing for me, since it gives me a solid deadline that I have to have my frame finished by...

I'm really interested in going, but I'm trying to figure out if I should stay for a few days or if its pretty much a single day event. When is the unicycle trials competition being held? Can unicyclists still ride the course when the competition isn't happening? I've never been to a trials event before so I apologize if these are really stupid questions.

I can't come to help set up this year, but hope to make the competition. Last year's event was great! If anyone is unsure if you should help with set up on Friday, do it! It was almost as much fun setting up as it was riding the course. It was a great chance to get to know other riders. I also learned a lot about the set up and reasoning behind a trials course and competition. It was a great learning experience for me. The other reason to help is to keep the event alive and well. Last year we had a good crew building the course. We got done by the end of the afternoon and were able to go out to dinner together. It's too much work for a few people to do, so we gotta pitch in to help out. The easier it is to do, the more likely it is to be done again next year. This uni trials competition is a great event. Well worth the effort to keep it alive! Thanks Joe, for organizing this great event! Bill |

My brother and I will probably be coming down on Saturday. Unfortunately, school prevents us from making it on Friday. I was looking at the registration costs and couldn't figure out how much unicyclists have to pay. Also, do you know aproximately when the unicycle competition starts and ends?
Thanks. I can't wait. |

The entry fee is $30 (same as entering in a single bicycle or motorcycle class), plus $10 to be collected day of event. Yes, the form is very confusing.
 The $30 goes with your application to Motorama Associates. I will collect an additional $10 on Saturday to cover additional course setup costs. The competition is Saturday and will last 2-3 hours. Last year I think we started around 10am. You will want to plan on arriving by 9am in case we start on time Let me know if I can answer any other questions.Joe Last edited by merrill; 2005-01-10 at 06:53 PM. |

It looks like I will be coming down via greyhound on Friday. I should get there around 4:30. The rest of the day I'm free to help work on the obstacles. It would be super helpful if someone was around and could help me with a ride here and there so I don't have to cab around. Also, I would be happy to split a hotel room with someone to help defray costs.
I'll be bringing copies of TWNR, so you can reserve them from Brian and get them from me. I'll have a few extra's too.

Is anyone planning to hop over to Cleveland after Motorama? I haven't scoped out the times/distances yet, but I'm interested in trying it.
