how's naucc?

Unijesse 7 July 2006 06:43:18
 
for those of you who post on hotel comps and laptops and such, how bout
us poor people with horrible schedules get some updates on the fest?
like what went down today, who won it and so on.

So far it's been fun, like all NAUCCs. My family made it here in great
time -- the roads really don't clog up in Tennessee. We went to the
opening ceremony (the first I've been to in the 6 years I've come to
these). It was nice to take part in a photo op with riders from all the
other clubs.

The next morning, there was a 21-mile Coker/guni ride through some
tough hills in a nearby park. I decided to stick with my Coker, since
my guni has been getting stuck in high gear. Boy am I glad I made that
decision. It would have been impossible for me to handle the big up-
and down-hills in high gear -- some of the hills were tough even on a
Coker. There was a challenge ride up one particularly tough hill, and
only two riders made it (Andy and Irene, who'd both ridden the alps).
It was impressive enough that anyone made it, but more so about Irene,
since she was using 125mm cranks (Andy had 140s). The rest of the ride
was pretty flat after that, but overall it was a bit of a killer due to
the extreme TN heat (it waas 106 when the ride finished) and those
hills.

I found out too late that I'd missed the basketball and hockey games
(again -- this seems to happen to me every NAUCC). Apparently there had
been a schedule change. Ah well. I made it to the gym in time to see
the expert riders in the non-standard competition, and once again Ryan
W was amazing. He has invented a few new tricks and has perfected some
of the ones he introduced last NAUCC. Amy Shields wowed everyone with
her flawless performance, too, and I'm pretty sure that both of them
will be declared the winners, as their competition was strong but not
as solid as they were.

Today I skipped a 12-mile Coker ride, and I'm not a muni or trials guy,
so I can't speak to those events, but in gen'l I'd say that this NAUCC
is going great. I'm looking forward to the public show this evening.

It was my first NAUCC, my first ride on a Coker over 10 miles, first
time riding with another Coker, first time seeing the artisitic and
skills type of riding, and first time seeing so many people I had
already heard about. So yeah though Muni is my favorite style of riding
it was worth my time, and I did get to ride Muni at Skanky Creek - what
a name.....

I just left the 10K race. It was nice and shady and not too hot yet.
After 1/3 laps some guy on a 26" or 29" nobby tire was in the lead with
Irene (from Canada) close behind. The rest of the field was a little
further back.

I will second that Ryan and Amy were amazing!!! in the pairs comp. last
night.

The MUNI race is tonight, and should be very fun to watch. Stanky
Creek is a great course.

I just finished the 10k, too. Unfortunately, it suffered from a lack of
forethought. A hint came in the form of the directions there -- the
place is listed on the MUC website as being 1928 Poplar Ave, but when I
put that into my GPS, it took me to somewhere about a mile away.
Luckily I was able to get to the start in time by following the
directions printed out in the comprehensive booklet that each family
gets a copy of. This NAUCC is not very GPS friendly: The main venue
doesn't even show up in my GPS because it's part of some new
construction; according to my GPS, when I'm driving there, I'm in a
roadless desert.

The leaders of the 10k explained the route, but when Tommy mentioned a
hairpin turn, he should have said that we'd be doing a 180 around a
cone. Kevin Gilbertson (Gilby!) and I -- both on 29" Schlumpfs -- were
neck and neck for the first few minutes with no one even close to
approaching our speed. We zoomed right past the 180-degree-turn cone
(which looked like all the other cones except for the little curvy
arrow on it) and ended up adding about a mile to our ride including a
slow uphill. By the time we finally got back to the course, we were
even behind the little kids on 24" unis who'd started the race 2
minutes after the 'unlimited' riders!

Irene and Andy Cotter and a few others rode fairly fast considering
that they were on Cokers, and the race winner, Dave, was one of the 4
people on gunis (a member of my club, James, was on a borrowed one).
Dave is in good shape and is a fairly fast rider, but I can't deny that
it was royally disappointing to realize that he and Irene came first
and second when those spots were clearly destined for me and Gilby, tho
I don't know which of us would have taken the gold.This was the only
race that I could have won outright.

Well, there's always next year.:(­

I'm at NAUCC (in hotel lobby). All the freestyle is over and today there
are muni competitions and a urban/street ride later tonight.

I think me and Forrest and Jon (gordythegon) are going to make a video.
(and Jonny to but he left last night).

Am curious ...as a parent who has a freestyle/artistic person there at
NAUCC and has spent years attending/watching their practice ... a
question for you:

As a uni person who is 'experienced' and has never seen this type of
uni ... what is your 'impression', of these outstanding unicyclists
that the rest of the 'uniblogging' world hardly ever see or hear from?


These people spend thousands of hours a year practicing and it's like
they don't even exist on uni-blogs.

So, what do you think?

thanks

That's Joel Burgess in the pic. He ended up winning the comp with 17
of the 20 expert lines completed. I came in second with 16. I can't
remember who came in third place.

I'm sure Joel and I both could have finished all the lines but we just
ran out of time (they ran the comp for 1 hour), which was actually a
good thing considering the heat and humidity. We were both pretty dead
by the end of it. Us Canadians can't handle all that heat. :)­ Not to
mention I'm an old man and horribly out of shape.... I think there
were around 45 competitors in the trials comp, which was really
awesome.

They held a street comp as well which I hear went really well, but
unfortunately I didn't see it as I was competing in other events.

The last few days have really seemed to fly by but it's been a real
blast. Brian Mackenzie has been filming a lot so I'm sure you'll see
some of the footage appearing in some form in the future.

being a great rider.

I agree. I started riding for the first time a couple years ago at 40.
Of all the 'types' of uni riding (coker, freestyle, street, muni,
etc.) you need a different wheel for each.

Personally, I love the dirt! I'm a member of the MUC here in Memphis
(I was the one walking aroun NAUCC with the broken hand) and had
several conversations with others around how to take MUni to the next
level. Like MUni skill levels, more intense uphill/downhill
competition, MUni-Cross, etc.

This was my first NAUCC. Frankly because it was here, but I had no idea
how large this sport is. For any of you who rode Stanky Creek or the
Tour de Wolf, those two trails I ride regularly evey week and have
never seen more than 10 at one time on either. Usually it's just three
or four of us. But to see over 50 Muni riders from all corners here on
our home trail was pure amazing!!! Hope you found them fun and
challenging. Xtreme Olympics lookout!

There's actually three trails in there. Did you do the white trail?
The blue is the shortest but the hardest. I do envy you and anyone who
lives out west with some extreme trail riding.

Congrats on winning the street!

Oh, did you lose a Qu-Ax black hat? Right after the trials event, I
found one near the tables where you were repairing your flat. I know
you ride a Qu-Ax wheel and thought it might be yours.
