Hello out there-
I would love to go to UNICON 2008 but I am from Canada, so plane
tickets + Hotel + this and that, just doesnt add up to be a cheap trip.
I am not a bad unicylcist, I can do some stuff but nothing jaw
dropping. But was wondering how a guy like me is supossed to get the
money to go! Do you think I could get my LBS to sponser me to help
with the cost?

I don't think so, because how would it help them?

you are going to be around lots of people who will probably never be
within 1000 miles of the bike shop.




get your mom and dad to pay for it?

or, think about wether or not you want to go with enough advance to
save up enough money.... I've decided to go to UNICON 2010 in Darwin
that's $5,000 USD just for a plane ride from where I live to Darwin...
not to mention the weeks worth hotel stay and then food and souvenirs
and UNICON cost ect.... I've got about $200 in my UNICON fund already
now I need to figure out how I'm going to come up with at least another
$5,800 so I can afford the plane and hotel and extras....

Good point about the sponsership-never thought of it like that.
Parents would pay for alitle but not enough to get me out ther

And I think I might have to skip this year then and do what you are
doing Ducttape-I just have never been and just was really excited at
the thought of going! But I will have to look further in the future I
guess

yeah, I wanted to go this year too but didn't have the money for
it.... My parents offered to pay for me to go to Moab next year though
because i wanted to go last time and couldn't make it....

How coming to New Zealand in 2010 instead?

It's probably why there are so few Southern Hemisphere riders at
previous Unicons, although airfares are fairly cheap nowadays.

Just work like everyone else. It really isn't hard to make that much
money in high school. If you really need to just sell some drugs or
souls or something.

But yeah just get yourself a job. If you are worried about grades
dropping or something then get a job at somewhere like a tim hortons in
the middle of nowhere and tell them you can only work nights. Then you
can just do your homework and stuff while your working.

It really shouldn't be hard to find a job where you can work for about
36 hours a week, with those kind of hours you could afford unicon in
two or three months.

I'm going to Unicon and it should be a blast.

I Have a really good paying job, the only probably is I only work when
they need me and it is slow until spring again! So maybe I should look
into a side Job then...Its just going to be hard with all my extra
stuff-between sports and music! I guess I have some choices to make
then
