Moab Munifest Photos posted

[mgrant]

It was another fantastic, brilliant munifest in Moab, UT this weekend.

If posting photos of MMF2006 was I race I declare myself a winner!
Unfortunately for me, my riding was not quite as fast. But I had a
great time nonetheless.

I'd like to extend a special THANKS! to John Childs who is prepared for
everything; including me forgetting to bring a memory card for my
camera. Thanks John.

Also, it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Thanks to Rolf
and his entire family for organizing and hosting the MMF.

Anyway - straight from John's 256MB flash memory card:

Thanks for posting the pix! I recognized almost all the people, as well
as the Porcupine Rim Trail. Now I guess I'll have to wait at least two
years to ride the whole thing... But those trails aren't going
anywhere, so no worries!

They came out in the reverse order than they were taken, so start from

Now I can post last year's pictures.

No offense but I don't think that's the best picture cause you aren't
on the unicycle, you can't tell it's a unicycle and the backgrounds not
very good! Just my opinion......not trying to knock you or anything but
I think you have better ones than that one.

No way! I like the handicapped parking sign, and the fact he looks like
he's peeing.

But yes, if you actually want to make a poster or something, make sure
people can see there's a unicycle associated with you.





So what is that picture really about???

Here are my photos: http://unicyclejester.com/gallery/trips/moab_06

Definitely a fun-filled event! I was absolutely impressed with the
trails this year. Porcupine Rim and Sovereign trail rocked!

However, I was kind of dissappointed with the Saturday night
festivities. I liked the idea to have it outside, but I felt like it
was harder to socialize with all the different groups of people since
it got dark so fast (there was only one light), and people seemed to
keep leaving. I guess it was just a lot easier last year with everyone
inside that big, brightly-lit cavern. I can't really complain though
since I didn't put a ton of effort in seeking out new unicyclists to
meet and old unicyclists to rekindle a once-or-twice-a-year-friendship
with. But I was of course happy with the idea alone that there were
heeps of people with the same passion I have all over the place. Okay,
I take back my dissappointed feeling... the Saturday night dinner was
"pleasant, but a bit too -calm-."

I also took a bunch of viddies of random stuff... hopefully I'll get
them in my gallery soon

Later,

Jess

Jess, nice to see ya again. Too bad we didn't have more time to hang
out and party and stuff. We'll have to make up for it at Unicon!

I also agree about the dinner on Sat. I wasn't at the past ones but it
didn't really seem like it was as good as other ones might have been. I
understand that 200 people is alot to fit inside one place so they had
to do what they had to do but I think it would've been better to have
at least some more lights and/or have it before it gets dark.....

BTW-Nice pictures!

As has been repeated multiple times already, Moab was great. Here's
'Paco's Pictures' (http://tinyurl.com/pk88n). I've got a couple group
shots, but mostly these are pictures of me, Jon Davis, and a few of Tom
Holub. I can't wait to download the videos people made!

Here's a little compilation of the videos I took with my digital
camera..
If you look through all my 'pictures'
(http://unicyclejester.com/gallery/trips/moab_06/) from the trip and
read the captions, you'll have somewhat of an idea of my trip. Each
random section of the video will make more sense...

SIZE: 36 mb's
TRT: 4:32
FILE: wmv

http://www.unicyclejester.com/videos/moab_2006.wmv

Windows Movie Maker worked great for quickly splicing together these
pesky little clips. I'm definitely going to use it more often for this
kind of thing... the little viddies usually never get to see
daylight..

Later,

Jess

I really enjoyed Jess' pictures. That was a great sequence of Joey doing
the big drops. Kudos to your little Canon for being able to capture
like that! But then again, I guess that camera's not so good for the
night/low light shots. Or maybe you just have to notice the shutter
speed and hold 'er steady? Las Vegas is a great place to practice night
shots.

I think your "?" guy, taking the ticket from the bag, is Ed Hansen.

Dinner:
In '04 and '05, we were on the verge of outgrowing the Bar M
Chuckwagon. The best thing about that place was the fact that we could
all fit in there and use their sound and projection systems. I don't
think anyone was crazy about the actual dinner. Apparently nothing
bigger is available without paying lots of money, and we unicyclists
tend to be a low-budget crowd. We have to enjoy what we can afford! I
will enjoy whatever gets planned for next year...

That is Jon Davis (JonnyD), an occasional poster on here. We missed
you in Moab, John Foss. How is your father doing, by the way?

Jorge, nice to see you made it back for your second year of Moab, and
that you and Hawaii Dan were able to connect for some riding. Hopefully
everyone stayed well-hydrated. I just wish I could have made it to do
some riding with you both. I hated missing this year...
