Default London UK Uni-Meet. It's happening again!


Myself and Joe Hodges have decided that it's time for another gathering
in London. The dates can be one of four days:

21st saturday
22nd Sunday
28th saturday
29th sunday (all October dates)

Meeting spot is near the London eye by some sloped dark walls, directly
opposite the Shell Centre. Anyone's welcome to join us, I'd actually
encourage you come along if you can. Though its mainly an urban
trials/street kinda thing, I'm sure keen photographers, freestylists
and Muni riders will have plenty to do as well...

I'll get a final suitable date when people start posting, tell me
when's suitable for you, and I'll arrange stuff... so far, myself, Joe
Hodges, Steve (afro guy)and his friend Brendan will be there.

I'm expecting you guys to turn up :
Mike Penton
gkmac
Mike (swarbrim)
amanda
lucas
domesticated ape
Dave (kington)
antoine
Eddbmxdude & Leo Hawkes
More details to come soon...

At the moment any of those days are good for me, but the sooner you can
pick a day the better as it gives me enough time to plan ahead a bit
more.

I'll probably come, but like last time I'll probably be doing more
filming. Unlike last time I'll probably not bring a uni at all, being
too much of a coward.

Now I've got two 1Gb cards (14 minutes each) as well as the portable
hard drive, I might make a more serious attempt at filming you guys
doing crazy things. Who knows, I might be able to edit a full length
video...

Sunday 29th October would be best for me. I'll be at SWUM on the 21st
of October and maybe still there on the 22nd, and I'm working on the
28th.

first weekend's no good for me, the second may be better (unless I go to
the Coup de France in Nantes, but that's doubtful at the moment)

It's a good social event, well recommended!

Cool. The last London ride inspired me to get a trials uni, but I
haven't had much opportunity/time to ride it yet so I'd definitely be
up for it. & any of those dates is fine for me.

Why not bring the freestyle GK? There's plenty of flat space on the
South Bank for skills practice or just cruising around.

The freestyle's 110psi tyre is no good for hopping around, and I
wouldn't even try to ride that virtually solid thing down a set of
stairs.

Even with my muni I never did anything at all at the April session.
Everybody who was there knew that; being a non-trials rider I shouldn't
have been there. I just don't know where Sponge gets the idea that I
should come along.

Hey!

Im well up for this! The last meet rocked, even though me and Leo had
to leave early! Im in the process of building a lovely new trials uni
at the mo so should be ready for about then. 28th or 29th would be
better as I would have been paid on the 25th, otherwise I don't know if
I would be able to afford it.

GK, its not about how good you are, no one minds if you are not as good
as Joe! Its a great social event, a good chance to get to meet and talk
to a few other unicyclists and just genrally chill out.

I will get hold of AJ as im sure he would love to come along aswell.

Rock on!
Edd

I know, that's why I said about the flat space! Of course you don't
have to bring a uni, but if you are going to go anyway you might as
well bring one just to cruise around on. I don't think I could bear to
be around other unicyclists for half a day and have nothing to ride on.


If you are worried about riding it in public, don't forget that if you
are hanging around with all the other unicyclists everyone will be
looking in your direction anyway, so you might as well be riding too!
