Calling ALL UK RIDERS - Page 2

thefatcontroller · 2003-12-04, 07:41 AM

Joe M,
Thanks for the advice - I am very glad you will consider coming - I should point out that what we had in mind (and what Joe B was originally refering to) was a small Open Club (CM&TC) competetion not the UK Championships Joe B mentioned. I think he was just suggesting we (the UK) should hold a National Comp. to see who realy can hack it.

If I can get to Germany or France next year, I do hope to go to one of those competitions. I got very excited reading Joe R's post about the Comp. in Germany. I think I could learn a lot from some of these comps. Where is the UK Singlespeed Comp held? and is there a website please?

In my opinion, the results of a Forum based vote should be seen only as a bit of fun. The validity of the result if very dependent upon the number of people who vote and how well informed they are. One of the problems with unicycling is the geographical density of riders across the UK. Without many more people taking part to provide or support nominations, perhaps we should give up the idea anyway. Apathy Rules!

I have not nominated anyone because I have not seen enough people ride to compare them, although, I am very impressed with Joe B's trials skills and I hear Rocket is brilliant at Hockey.

Joe M - Why dont you nominate those you have mentioned, in their absence?

Simon, if you havent seen to many riders this year, dont you think its a bit late on trying to get a rider of the year, maybe next year at various differnt unimeets we could have such compitions. I have been to a few unimeets this year but not enough and i havent met all the main riders in the uk yet so i cannot make the judgement who is the best or who has improved the most in the year.

Correct!

The CM&TC competition would be great fun - i cant wait!

To take part in a National would be awsome! But it would take along time to organize, and a sponsor would be needed! Maybe something to think about for the future though!

Trev - I think the idea was everybody nominates who they think fits the bill. I was merely explaining why I have not nominated anyone. This should not stop others from nominating - but as I said earlier - there has been very little repsonse - look at the number of people who have viewed the post compared to those who have taken the trouble to nominate. Apathy rules.

Lucus Wintercrane.

Roger you said something along the lines of "MUni isn't for competing but for doing"
