Looks like I have a spare bed for anyone that needs a place to sleep. I reserved a twin room at New-RaSung Dormitory for Janna and myself, but she can no longer make it. Price is $286 for all 13 days of Unicon. You'll have the privilege of sharing a room just with me and not 29 other people. Please let me know asap if interested (or if you have a spare bed in an airbnd/house let me know and I might be able to cancel my room and join you). Where is everyone else staying?

Who hasn't registered for Unicon yet and wants to save $80?! Janna Wohlfarth registered but can't come anymore so we could transfer her early bird registration ($220) to you so you don't have to pay the current late registration of $300. Let us know ASAP if interested. Thanks! Feel free to share this with anyone else who may be interested.

Actually, I have a question about the whole event. As I've never gone to a Unicon before, and I mostly picked up my unicycle to do commuting, would it make sense for me to apply for a competitor spot?
1. I'd be bringing my 29" KH with brake, but it's got the fat tire; would that be an accepted unicycle, and which categories? 2. I haven't technically trained for any of the events; is there some kind of process or qualifier I would need to go first, or is it just 'show up and participate'? 3. I saw the list of events; what are the most popular ones for spectators? How many people are there usually for each event? |

Unicon is ''-CON" for convention. It is also a chance to meet unicyclists from around the world, attend non-competition rides and workshops and social events. Quote:

Depends what you like watching. Artistic freestyle tends to draw the biggest number of spectators, although street/flatland and the team events (hockey/basketball) also draw big numbers. Racing events are good to watch, but it's hard to follow the race as we do not have the resources for race cameras/motorbikes to follow the riders. The 10km is a multi-lap race, and is one of the largest events at Unicon, so will be good viewing. |
