Unicon 16 Media

I couldn't find anything like this besides some Facebook pages so here's a Uniucon 16 media thread for all the pics and videos taken at Unicon 16.
Unfortunately I don't have many pictures yet but I'll put them up once I have a nice selection.
Looking forward to your links!

I think so, sure looks like it. Amazing how he beat all the geared riders with that setup.
Ziga Sternad came very close with his 24x3 Schlumpf, though. He finished on 2nd place.
I also used my trusty KH24 with Gazzaloddi. No gears.

Is the 24 inch wheel size a requirement of the DH competition? Funny how several people in these forums are advocating bigger wheel sizes for Muni, yet the world championship DH riders are all on 24s.

There were many 26ers too and some 20", so, no, it wasn't a requirement. But the expert course was very steep with only few untechnical sections so to me the Gazzaloddi 24x3 seemed very appropriate. People said it was harder than any previous unicon DH. I was glad to have brakes.

Well, now there is official proof that 24x3 munis are not "too slow" (under the right circumstances of course)
