Berkeley Juggling and Unicycle Festival
I got there on Saturday morning at about 11 am. I started hopping around on my trials uni with some other people and then saw a reporter for the Daily Cal who interview some of us. She ended up using a quote from me in the report here: http://www.dailycal.org/article.php?id=19892, although my name has a typo (corbin dunn, not corbin dinn!).
Nathan, as usual, took a ton of cool pictures. A few of the cool ones with me in them are:
standing on a sign thing on my coker.
coker wheel walking (a favorite of mine now)
Although, the video of Beau riding a Coker ultimate wheel is the best!
So, Saturday was packed with uni-fun, including a cool uni-workshop by John Foss. I played uni-basketball for the first time — it is a lot more fun that I had anticipated, and I might be traveling up to berkeley a little more frequently to get in some games :)
We had great dinner at the Pyramid brewery, and aftwards went to the “public showâ€. It was killer! The last act was amazing. the guy was wicked good at juggling, and even more impressive on the diablo.
Sunday was a blast! In the morning, we did an 8-mile or so coker/29’er/geared 36’er (Mike!) ride around Berk. The best part was this one guy from Critical Mass following us around on his bike and towing a huge stereo system blasting cool music. Tom did a great job of organizing a lot of the uni things, and this was the highlight! I did manage to fall down on the ride; i was blasting my coker on the little water ledge on the side of the road and slipped off; my knees are pretty scratched up. Luckily, thanks to Nancy and her first aid kit, the swelling on my right knee went down.
After that, we did lunch at a Thai place. Then, it was off to some muni-action! I put on a new tube, and we rode some of the craziest trails in Oakland; they were a great prep for this weekends muni-weekened in SB. Nick took some killer video footage that i can’t wait to see. Overall, a blast! i will go next year.
