Ottawa Unicycle Invasion 2006 - OUI'06

[carl.roth]

This years OUI'06 will be held *4 June 06* at Nanaimo Park (the site of
OUI'04) Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, starting at 1 pm. Please be there to
register by 12:30. There will be no advanced registration - just at the
site. For a map check out the OUI'04 site at
http://carlroth.net/oui04/

We could not secure a suitable indoor facility so the event will be
held outside and be subject to weather - if it rains it will be
cancelled. As a result, the event will be scaled down with no new
obstacle building, no trophies and no t-shirts. There will be prizes
and a BBQ pool party that will be held only a couple of blocks from the
event location.

If there is an entry fee it will small.

Basically it will be an informal trials event with a nice party
afterwards.

A web site may or may not be created. Check http://carlroth.net/ for
more info.

Please send any questions to me at .

If we can secure an adequate indoor facility for 2007 we will be back
on track with a big OUI'07 . If you have any ideas for an indoor
facility in the Ottawa area be sure to give me a call.

Cheers,

Carl
C. Roth
Director OUI'06

Awesome thanks for the info Carl, I can't wait to compete. Do you know
if there are going to be different difficulty levels?

I don't mind paying to compete if it makes a difference on the level of
competition to be held.

Sweet it's almost time for OUI! This is going to be my first

I'm desperately out of practice. Eep! I have like... 2 weeks!

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

The event will have lines from beginner to expert. All lines 1 pt. -
the most points wins. I am not expecting a large turnout as if it rains
it will be cancelled. It will be more of a fun event. Next year if we
can get a site similar to OUI'05 we will have a really serious comp.

Some of you may have noticed that we are trying to organize a similar
event in quebec city. If you can't find an indoor facility for 07,
consider bringing the invasion to quebec (where we would use the circus
school)! We could call it QUI! I'm seriously considering comming and
convincing others to come with me... we shall see :)

Thanks for the info. The entire Kingston Crew will be coming up. We just
added a new rider today as well. He learned to ride halfway down the
street and he is very excited.
Good thing we have lots of unis' at the house. Count 4, maybe 5 of us
for sure. Don't know if any will compete though. See you there!

There's nothing formal planned.

A few of us locals are doing some unicycling for the community day
event at Nanaimo Park (same location as the OUI competition) from
around 2-3 in the afternoon. Jeff Groves is also planning to join us.
After that we talked about heading off for a ride. Maybe some muni at
Kanata Lakes. It's all going to be very ad-hoc and highly dependant on
the weather. I'm not sure what the deal is going to be with the
community day thing if we get the thunder storm that is currently
forecast. We'll also be finishing up some of the new obstacles for the
trials comp at some point during the day/night.

So really I'm just here to tell you that I have no idea what will end
up happening, other than some of us might be going for a ride at some
point during the day.

I know. I'm so helpful....

It's not looking too promising for the trials comp, but we won't make a
final decision until tomorrow. If it's still raining, we'll head to
Kanata Lakes for some nice muddy muni instead. The BBQ will be on rain
or shine.

if it is raining, I would like to do a trials/street ride downtown or
perhaps a skatepark ride if anyone is interested. The skatepark should
be empty if it is at all wet so it would be a perfect time to do it. I
agree with eroick though on that we should meet at nanaimo and make
decisions from there to include everyone in whats going on.

Yeah! It was awesome! Thanks to everyone who organized it and everyone
who came out! The weather was awesome and so was the turnout! Some
lines were really tough, like nathan said (like the line that he spent
about 1/4 of the comp on and finally made it!) I didn't have a camera,
so im hoping to see so cool pictures from other people. Ottawa, and
Ontairo, have a larger unicyclist community than I thought. And of
course, thanks to the random sponsers, Penzoil (hey, it isnt even a

Yeah, the event turned out awesome, especially considering how little
promotion went into it - and how dicey the weather was looking
yesterday. I think we ended up with 28 competitors, which was almost
as many as last year! And the weather turned out to be awesome.

A big thanks to all the people who showed up early to help haul
everything over there and to Jeff, Karl, Devon and Thomas for helping
me set up the course.

And a huge thanks to everyone who showed up to participate! It was
great to see so many people make it out, especially the guys who drove
in from out of town.

Next year will be even bigger and better!

The event was very much awesome. If anyone's noticed throughout most of
yesterday, I say that word a lot, but I truly mean it! I very much
wish I showed up the day before to help build and participate in this
elusive sport of unciycle jousting that was at the community day
though.

It was great seeing everyone that I haven't seen in a long time, and
new people I'd never met before, and thanks to the organizers of the
event, to my "personal coaches," Joshua & Maggie, who kept bugging me
to finish more than the first line I attempted, and to Charlie & family
for the more then plentiful afterparty!

When I get home I'll have pictures to post. Oh, thanks to Pete as well
for the multitude of pictures of me falling :P

Can't wait for next year!!

it. Woah.

I'd also like to thank Darren a whole lot for taking my uni completely
apart, repairing it, and reassembling it. That was really nice, and
well appreciated. Those new Bedford Team Rider shirt designs are
killer, too. I can't wait until they are available. For all those who
haven't seen the designs yet, beware, you're going to be damn
impressed.
