'This is Flatland Unicycling 2017' is an awesome new video put together from Unicon last year by Edd Hawkes. The video features some of the best Flatland riding from the world championships.

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.

 

Unicycle.com were one of the traders at UNICON (the world unicycle championships) in San Sebastian this year.   Roger Davies and Edd Hawkes manned the stall over the 10 days of the of the event.  Although the days were long, fixing and maintaining unicycles, both riders went out and did some riding.



Edd competed in the Trials, Slopestyle and all the Muni events.  He did particularly well in the downhill where he qualified for the Elite category!

Roger competed in the longer distance events and all the Muni.  He came home with 5 medals.  2 first place and 3 second place.

Marathon Unlimited, 50+ Male 2nd
10k Unlimited, 50+ Male 2nd
Muni Cross Country Elite 50+ male 1st
Muni Uphill 50+ Male 1st
Cyclocross Unlimited 30+ Male 2nd



We also got out to see some of the local hill when there was a downhill/muni workshop on the local hills only a few miles away.



If you want to read more about the biannual event that is UNICON, you can read about it at UNICON website.

Came into work today to find Roger sat in the warehouse inside our new Unicycle.com tent with his sewing machine out.  He is working on our new stand that we are taking to Unicon.

Planning a trip to Unicon? Or maybe you want an easier way to transport your unicycle? Check out the unicycle bags we have in stock.

We have the O-Some bags which come in 20", 24", 26", 29" and 36". Unlike regular unicycle bags where they are more like a backpack, the O-Some bag is more like a holdall with its middle handle and single shoulder strap. This design makes for a very minimalist bag which can be an advantage when traveling.



We also have the Qu-Ax bags. Saddle and pedals do not have to be demounted for transport. The pedals rest in the special pedal compartments and the construction of the backpack prevents the pedals from poking your back.

The new Unicycle.com Union Jack saddle has landed at Unicycle.com UK. Make your unicycle stand out at Unicon in Canada this August by showing your country's colours upon your unicycle.
