Teams
So, I don't really pay that much attention to the unicycling community, but I do check the message board off and on and get involved in a lot of stuff when it's going down, and recently after not really checking the boards in a few months come back and all of a sudden everyone has a "team". I for one do not get this phenomenon and think that teams are lame. However, for the most part I just don't get it. Many questions come to mind, mostly "wtf" though. It's not really the idea of a team, Dan mentioned it briefly one time and I thought it was cool, but just the fact that everyone has a team is kind of weird. So, please discuss teams/your team/goats here, and I would have assumed there already would be a thread for this but I searched and couldn't find anything. And remember, technically Hell On Wheel came up with the idea before anyone.

My teams: Team J'ville Cycles- the bike shop that sponsors me- I'm the only unicyclist Team Unicycle.com- they supported me in my 24hr ride, and they usually sponsor a team or two at the 12hr/24hr Mountainbike events Team NZUNI- NZ riders riding overseas seem to have attached themselves to this name -- GizmoDuck - NZUNI o-kO 'www.adventureunicyclist.com' (http://www.adventureunicyclist.com/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GizmoDuck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/794 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/38788 |

As far as I'm concerned, I'm part of a "team" sponsored by a jugglery/kite/unicycle/mountainboard... shop. I'm the only unicyclist, others are mountain boarders. this allows me to scratch my Tshirts and get some new ones, get some free parts for my unis and even test some protos (like the Koxx One Devil)... The least I can do is mentionning my team when talking to the unicyclist community (even if I very few english-speaking people know this french shop). It's certainly pure self-satisfaction but I like beeing part of a team (and claming it ) -- Zzagg - froggy uni Zzagg - Team Air Circus (Nantes) Riding day, dream away...

Not much in the way of teams. When we go to Unicon we have national teams, even if we don't train or organize as a team. When we get there, all the people from one country are on that "team." We have Group Freestyle, so the people in each group can think of themselves as teams, but it's not a word we really use. I think most people think of themselves as groups. Then there are unicycle clubs, who think of themselves as clubs. Even if they're disorganized clubs, like the Gold Country Unicyclists, who don't do much as a group. To have a team, implies you have a sport or other place where your team represents itself against other teams. We have basketball and hockey teams. There are no teams in traditional unicycle racing, except national teams. But there have been teams of unicyclists who entered bicycle events. I am honored to have been a member of Team Cyclops, who ride in the 24 Hours of Adrenaline at Laguna Seca every year. I love my Team Cyclops jersey. But outside of a team competition event, I don't see the point of being a team. This includes being sponsored, to a point. If you are a member of a bike (or other) team with a common sponsor, that's a fully legit team, even if you never do any kind of competition with the rest of your team. But just saying you have a team, for no apparent reason, seems to have no apparent reason. -- johnfoss - The wilder Wilder John Foss, the Uni-Cyclone "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com "Read the rules!" -- 'IUF Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/rulebook/) -- 'USA Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/usa/competition/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/38788 |

In fact 'wrong' can be used as a noun so 'your wrong' is not in itself wrong therefore is the mistake with the reader or the writer? Capital letters should be used for the personal pronoun "I" and initial letters of proper nouns. .... *eats a can of paint* it's interesting that so many people are actually sponsored. i'm thinking of trying to get sponsored by someone since i desperately need a new street/trials/flatland uni and don't have the money to buy one, but i doubt anyone local would be able to supply me with that. any ideas..? i plan on making a short video soon and i was thinking to use it like a sponsor video. -- zach_jucha - emulating dan heaton since 2002 -Don't ask me why I said it, because I already forgot.- - Homestar me: unicyclist forums me: what are they not good for alex: Serious, well thought out discussion? me: exactly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zach_jucha's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4072 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/38788 |

Team Primitive (sorry about spelling) Dan, Brian, Jess, Mike, Saban, and another. Some of the most known riders out there. Team "Hell oh wheel" No nothing about them, except for the hell on wheel vids. Don't know their people though. Team Hazard Keaton Miller, Dallas Miller, Matt Markel, And Myself. Just the local riders around here. We've got some skill.
