for all of us who missed it this year (probably only me) tell us how it
was what you did, what wild things Kris Holm did this year, etc. one of
the biggest muni events ever and I had to miss it, so feel free to rub
it in.

Awesome scenery
Fantastic trails with huge variety. Those who rode both slickrock and
Amasa put in about 20 miles. I'm freakin sore today!
Great people - about 130 riders!
Fantastic weather
Really well organized
The competition was REALLY, REALLY FUN. You should have seen Ryan and
Kris on the Cliffs of Insanity.
Can't wait for next year, etc, etc... Feel better?

(I think there are quite a few people still recovering from the trip.
Give us a few days.)

The event was awesome! My first organized unicycling function so I
don't have much to compare to, but it was loads of fun. The weather was
so, so. A bit breezy at times, and cool, but cool is O.K. when you're
riding. I took five kids who learned a lot and can't stop talking about
it. They had tons of fun with the competitions, met many people both
famous and not, and gained so much confidence from riding the slickrock
trails. My 11 yr. old daughter was totally intimidated at first by the
hills and rock, but by the end of the second day she had conquered at
least 90% of the practice loop. She also won a tee-shirt in the trials
competition and got it signed by Kris Holm, Ryan Atkin, Karl Thompson
and John Foss. My 13 yr. old son has learned how to wheel-walk over 50
ft. since Moab, I think just by watching the guys and gals there that
could do it. Got to see Cokers and giraffe free-mounting, a geared hub
unicycle and lots of other cool stuff. Was able to purchase a nearly
new Summit for my oldest boy from a guy named John. He is stoked of
course! (thanks again, John.) All in all, I'm just pumped up on the
endorphins of having such a great time with the wife and kids. Could
you possibly find a better sport than this? I doubt it! Rolf and
Janeen(sp?) Thompson were everywhere and never lost their cool, always
friendly and encouraging. Met a bunch of the forum people, such as
Paco, Harper, Gerblefranklin Steve Howard, and too many others to list,
but suffice it to say unicyclists are just awesome people as a group,
with lots of flavor! There's more to say, but this has gotten lengthy
already. Hope to see more of you at Nationals in Salt Lake City in
July, and the California Munifest in September!
