Nationals Trip Part 2

Nationals was a lot of fun. I visited Noah's Ark and House on the Rock with family while I was staying down in Plattville, and I got to go to Madison a few times as well. The venue was small and a bit of a letdown, but everyone was awesome and I got to do a little bit of street riding while I was down there. I managed to get ahold of just one picture of me competing.

Also landed Opposites down that rail. Attempted blunts and 180 opposite blunts but was not successful. I had some amazing lines dialed in, but unfortuneately for me, the comp was done in zones and was more of a banger throw-down. I hope next year they take into consideration flowing lines. Personally when I watch a skateboard or BMX flick, I enjoy seeing the riders put together interesting and graceful lines. But there's no denying the talent that is out there for unicycling. I'm proud to be part of such a progressive sport.

Nationals Trip Part 1

First thing I did was stop by the beautiful Black River Falls skatepark in central Wisconsin. Blasting the hip on the DX and flying around the berm on the coaster were a lot of fun.

So Black River Falls was a lot of fun. I want to go back there in the worst way.

I leave for Nationals tomorrow. I'm heading down to Black River Falls early in the morning to session their skatepark and perhaps eak out an episode of My 5ifteen Tricks. I'll be heading down to Plattville to stay with my Aunt and sort of use that as a base camp for Nationals. I'll head over to Madison on Thursday Morning to represent Grinders at the Outdoor Reps Association show and afterwards I'll try to make it to the goodman community center to ride.

also, enjoy the pics that I've been snapping with my new camera!

July

It's been hot. I've got Nationals at the end of the month and I'm going back up to Lake Owen first week of August. Check out a small edit from my first visit.

Been working a lot but I just bought myself a new camera so expect pictures more frequently!

I hope to be rolling out more edits after Nationals and Lake Owen so be on the lookout.

I snaped this pic with my new camera today

Grinders Dirt Jam

Grinders Dirt Jam is this weekend. I hope to take the coasting unicycle to the dirt jumps if it is at all possible. I'll post pictures ASAP. I'd also like to thank the sponsors of the Dirt Jam:
Grinders Bike Shop of Rice Lake Wisconsin
White Lightning
Red Line
Pryme
Lake Owen

Thanks for the support. See you all there!

Lake Owen Visit: First Session

I'm riding my bike up to the Lake Owen Action Sports Camp tomorrow morning to spend about a week there. For those of you who don't know, Lake Owen is the Woodward Camp of the midwest and is located in Cable Wisconsin. I'll be representing Torker Unicycles and teaching some of the kids how to ride a unicycle. I hope the skaters get excited about unicycling because of this visit. It would be nice to not only make pople aware of the sport, but also to get them enthusiastic about learning how to ride and in the end, stick with it.

I'll hopefully have video and pictures to post when I get back, but until then ride on!
