I make an effort to greet all riders when I'm out riding, granted it's always in the mountain so don't come across any roadies. For the most part everyone always greets back, others just stare which I can forgive them for . If I do ride out on the road it's always on the sidewalk as I don't trust the drivers in the cars not to run me over when they realise that there is someone riding a unicycle. I greet the pedestrians. Some greet back, some jump out of the way thinking that I am going to run them over and cause massive injury to them, and some just scowl at me.

I didn't manage to get any video footage of the DH, was to busy riding Ruan got some good footage though, so looking forward to what he comes up with. Still waiting for more photos from the DH. btw.... Loved the short ride I did last night on your 36'er !!! What a beast, can't stop thinking about how smooth it was over the rough road.

Would love to help out on Sunday, but have other plans already. Please let me know when and where more plans are to build/repair trails in Tokai. Seeing as I use them would like to contribute to maintaining them at least. Pity about the event on the 13th being canceled, was looking forward to it. Will definitely be at the Paarl event next month. Great trail and seeing as I have an idea of what to expect I can try more on it.

Does anyone have any details on the Downhill Event that Chris was arranging for the 13 December ? Apparently was either going to be Eden or Jonkershoek. Looking forward to doing it after the Paarl event last month. Was awesome to do that trial which was a lot harder than I anticipated.

Still collecting photos from a few people, here are a couple for now....

On Sunday 29th November the first Downhill Mountain Uni Champs were held in Tokai Forest. While there was a slightly lower turnout of competitors than initially expected it was still an awesome day. 5 trails were included in the Champs, with a time for each and a final combined time. Mamba, Boomslang, Downhill 1, Downhill 2, Downhill 3 Winner on the day was Johnny Cronje (WOFT on TheHub), followed very closely by Ethan Roberts who was only 4 seconds slower over the 5 trails. Third was Alan Read from OddWheel Unicycles. I managed a 4th place at just over 3 minutes slower than Johnny Cronje. Had my worst runs down Downhill 2 and Downhill 3 for many months. To many stupid bails including a rolling bail into the rocks on the rock garden at the top of Downhill 2, and a face plant into the dip at the burm at the start of Downhill 1. It's amazing what the pressure of the clock does I must say well done to Donna as the only woman to compete on the day giving it her best, she really did well. Our youngest competitor was Jonathan Benjamin at 13 years old who did extremely well on his 20" Uni who ended up only 30 seconds slower than me, which in itself is simply amazing as he had only done 3 Mountain Uni rides before the Downhill race, and it was on a smaller wheel than the rest of us. He certainly showed me a thing or two about just going for it. Was an awesome day in the end. Looking forward to the Champs in 2010 where we will hopefully have more competitors.
