Default New Extreme Uni Contest - The Coker Wall Climb!


As I was thinking about how much I wished the ramp at that skatepark was
higher... the idea for a new uni contest suddenly occured to me... the
Coker Wall Climb (well ok, I guess technically it's a ramp... but the
"Coker Ramp Climb" doesn't sound as cool!)

The ramp should be about 20 feet high and pitched about the same as the
one I'm riding in the video I posted. I figure I could probably
currently get about 12 feet up the ramp with a little practice. If I
were riding Blueshift or the Geared 36er, getting to the top of the 20
foot ramp should be achievable. The rules are simple: Whoever gets the
highest up the ramp AND rides all the way down the ramp (and at least 20
feet away from the bottom of the ramp) without falling wins! The contest
is similar to the "hill climb" in motorcycling, only in that event the
motorcyclists don't have to come back down the hill! I think
non-unicyclists and unicyclists alike would enjoy watching this event.
What do you think?

Yeah, I bet we could come up with a bunch of really cool events on the
Coker. How many Cokerers do you think there are out there? Maybe we can
get a figure on how many have been sold from the company. Ready for the
1st international Coker Games???
