Ryan Leech is coming to Unicon!

I was told by Amanda, who's friends with some trials bikers that know
Neil Tunnicliffe who told them that Ryan Leech will be attending Unicon
this year It's supposed to be a secret, but I'm too excited!

Apparently, he intends to take his front wheel off and enter the trials
competition. That'd be really cool to watch, but do you reckon they'll
let him?

Well, section 12.14 Cycle Design Restrictions for unicycle trials of the
IUF handbook states:Any unicycle or *bike* may be used. There is no
restriction on changing cycles during the competition. So he might not
even need to remove the front wheel.

So the only not plausible part of this is that Ryan Leech would attend
a unicycle convention.

TEACHER'S VOICE
Bueller?

GIRL'S VOICE
He's sick.
(pause)
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's
brother's girlfriend heard from this
guy who knows this kid who's going
with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out
at 31 Flavors last night. I guess
it's pretty serious.

TEACHER'S VOICE
(weary)
Thank you, Simone.

Sorry I couldn't resist... (I probably dated myself by referencing this
movie, you youngn's probably never heard of it!)

There is a slight change in the 2008 version, which just says "Any cycle
may be used." Ruh-ro! I never noticed that, but I wonder if Kris (the
author) ever thought about it! Because what I *have* noticed is Ryan
Leech in one of his videos the other night. I think a bike (front wheel
or no) could cream unicycles in most Trials situations. Due to their
geometry, bikes can jump considerably higher.

This is going to mean either a future change in Trials rules, or a
change in competition Trials unicycles. And possibly a major upset at
the 2008 Unicon Trials competition!

...Or that this is another April Fool's joke, but there's no joke in
the Trials rules...

If I attached a little wheel to a pogo stick could I use that?

This was an April fool's joke. But it'd still be cool, wouldn't it?

And I got John Foss worried, sweet!
