The 2017 EUC (Extreme Unicycling Championship) Summer Edition was held in Hungary at the Factory Sport Arena for the third time. The goal of EUC17 Summer is to give the best event experience for it's participants while also showcasing the sport to the media.



As EUC17 Summer was a week-long event it allowed the riders more time to enjoy the event.  There was a wide variety of fun competitions:

Rolling-wrap Sprint / Prelims, plus 1on 1 battles where riders had to reach a finish line as quickly as possible, doing only rolling wraps.

Slow race / Prelims, plus 1 on 1 battles where riders had to ride a line as slowly as possible.

Uni-sumo / 1 on 1 battles where riders had to push their opponents from a circle without dismounting.

Dizzy slalom / Riders had to race an easy obstacle course with jumps and skinny riding. Before each rider could attempt the course they had to drink a glass of beer (or coke if under 18) and complete 5 spins/rotations.

Coasting competition / Longest distance coast won.

4x Unicycling / 4 riders starts in one heat where they have to ride an easy obstacle course with sharp turns and narrow sections in the fastest time possible.

Auth-The-Game / Same rules as Out-The-Game, in the name of Kornél Auth (pronounced the same as OUT).

Foam-Pit Best Trick / Riders had to perform their best (party) trick into the foam-pit. Judges were using large scorecards to gain more of a show-feeling.



These fun competitions gave a good opportunity to bring all the participants together and a great opportunity for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders to take part.



The official competitions started on Friday, with the High Jump and Flatland preliminaries. On the Saturday there was the Trials prelims. Although due to the unfortunate weather conditions (heavy rain) they had to cancel the Trials finals. The Flatland final in the city center was a big success with a lot of spectators and a nice atmosphere. On Sunday they had the Street competitions and the Award Ceremony.

What is flatland?

Flatland Unicycling is about doing tricks on flat ground (usually pavement). There are virtually an infinite number of ways to ride a unicycle. The challenge is purely related to the difficulty of moves. Here at unicycle.com we can highly recommend the Impact Reagent Unicycle for flatland riding.
