National Go Ride Uni Day?

[unifreak7]

Hey,

I found out awhile ago that skateboarding has a national go skate day.
Being the longest (sun light) day of the year. I'm interested if any of
you would want to just call a day that, National Go Uni Day, (to get
off work, or have a reason to go ride ALL day, drop girlfriends, other
activities, everything, just uni.) I like the day July 20th. It is in
the middle of summer (great weather, nice sunlight, no school, no
special holiday) and also has the nice 7-20 numbers to it. (720, come
on everything is better with two, 720twist, 720unispin, doubleflip.)
It's nothing too special, just interested to see if anyone else has had
this idea. (I bet you think this is a rediculous idea, but if something
happens, it has to start somewhere right?)

Not everywhere in the world has great weather and nice sunlight in
july. In the southern hemishpere that is the middle of winter. In order
to make it an international day that has good weather for everybody, it
would be best to have it in mid/late september. That way it is Autumn
(Fall) in the Northern hemisphere and spring in the southern
hemishpere, and should be good weather for all.

There arn't many of us down here but we are just as important. :D

It's all for the meaning of unity. One day just kinda labeled as a day
where all unicyclists should be riding.

p.s. I never suggested it to be international remember, lol. That was
somebody else. I said national. lol. And the southern hemishpere
doesn't have of a winter anyway. Austrialla is usually decent year
round.

Winter can get pretty cold with a bit of snow in southern Australia and
New Zealand. Make it any day you want, I don't care if it isn't a
international thing. I'll still go riding on the day, rain, hail or
shine (well depends on the size of the hail :) ) maybe the snow will
make it even more fun :D

Why July 20th? Go a few days later and you'll have a whole Unicon of
people joining in! (Unicon starts on July 23).

I prefer the idea of a *world* unicycle day over a national one, which
means we should compromise on the seasons. A day like that could be
used as the jugglers use their day, to increase awareness about our
sport, teach people to ride, try to generate local press, and of course
go out and have a good time with fellow unicyclists.

Which ever day is fine to me as long as it's in summer (granted we're
looking at different seasons in different parts of the world). If any
part of the school year is going on it wrecks the idea. I don't mind
the world part of it, just the "unicycle day" wording.
The best way to get people unicycling is to show them the extreme sides
of it. I'm not a firm believer of getting the idea of unicycling out
there through freestyle (basically looks what it did, not a lot, until
street and trials got popular in the late 90's and early 00's). I'm
trying to appeal to the kids in a way where they won't feel like it's a
stupid sport, or "gay" sport. Circus related acts I believe won't work.
Show them sets, trials lines, rails, flatlandy type moves. That's the
good looking stuff to get people into it. Well like I said this is all
just what I believe and what i've noticed. Thanks for your time.

Careful Shaun, remember where the creators of Street, MUni and today's
other popular forms of unicycling came from. The newer areas of
unicycling attract a lot of attention and would be great to promote,
but to each his (or her) own. Remember the country with the most
unicyclists (Japan, reportedly around six million) barely knows about
MUni and especially Street.

I think it would be cool, but it shouldn't be in summer or winter for
either hemisphere. Personally I would like it in the spring, but thats
the fall for Ozzies, so, whichever.

Yeah man, I'm in. You guys hash out the day though. I don't wanna get
involved. Somebody with some clout needs to make an executive
decision. What? We don't have a hierarchichal corporate structure?
Damn! If were doing a vote thing, July 20th works for me too.:) Call it
a prelude to Unicon.

Oh yeah, I'm in the include-the-whole-planet camp on this one.

Japan does have the most, but they have it in thier school systems. That
would do a lot for the pop of unicyclists. I didn't think this thread
would cause this much disagreement. Just a day, with good weather and
the ability to ride all day (no school). Label it for whatever reason,
and rip. Just a way to ride and make it not like every other day ride,
now we can say, "hey it's international go ride uni day." haha. Sounds
good. 720, or wahtever else, sall good, i just like the number 720.

Hey! I like the idea... It's a good excuse to talk to people about
unicycling (which I like, but hardly ever do). For me, any date is
fine! If it's in school-time, I'd spend the rest of the day unicycling,
including to and from school.

Just come up with a date - that is not in the middle of the winter
here, that'd be very cold - and I'll join it.
