So I'll be heading to Lake Owen for the first time ever this summer. I've wanted to go there ever since I was big into agressive inline but could never afford it. As I got into unicycling I still wanted to go there but they don't have any unicycling sessions! Fortunately they're allowing me to come up and visit with the unicycle.

I'm excited about this because this means a lot of fresh faces are going to be exposed to unicycling. Torker even hooked them up with a new 2011 Unistar DX. http://www.torkerusa.com/bikes/unicycles/2011-unistar-dx

I'll be bringing up two unicycles myself, so I hope to get the skaters really excited about unicycling and I hope to successfully teach some how to ride.

If you don't know what Lake Owen is, its the Woodward of the Midwest. They really are sister camps. It's located in Cable Wisconsin, which is only an hour and a half or so north of where I live. Being so close is difficult when I'm unable to go, so I'm extremely excited for this opportunity. You can check out the website here: http://lakeowencamp.com/

I also hope to return to the camp a few times throughout the summer. I'd be sad if I couldn't be up there for a bit of northoften week. http://northoften.net/blog/

Also, I made a wicked snowman yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I really need this snow to be gone, but I made the best of it.

Check it out.

Coasting Unicycle

Coasting Unicycle.

I'll post pictures and maybe some video some time.

I've had the idea as long as I've been unicycling. I'll take credit for recognizing the opportunity, but Grinders Sports Shop in Rice Lake Wisconsin is responsible for the fabrication and assembly.

If there's any chance that this thing could be available on the market, interest must be expressed. Please let me know if you'd be interested buying a coasting unicycle. shaidecody@yahoo.com

Aquafest

I've decided that I'm not doing the Badger Brew Express Unicycle Demo for Aquafest this year because of lack of Club interest. Might not do the Readapalooza Demo at the Library either. But I'll definitely be doing the Bike Jam at the skate park. Should be the biggest skate comp/bike jam year yet because of what Bubba has planned.

Also looking forward to planning the Dirt Jam. Should do that shortly after Aquafest. Would like to get some larger bands in for the gig. Let me know if you're interested in playing.
