This year, it was held in Santa Barbara, California. I had a BLAST! As usual, other people took a lot of great pictures. Here are some of the highlights:<\/p>\n<p>Some of Nathan Hoover&#8217;s pictures on the Cold Springs trail:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nhoover.smugmug.com\/gallery\/892779\/1\/40473270\">My \u00e2\u20ac\u0153purple panties\u00e2\u20ac\u009d outfit.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nhoover.smugmug.com\/gallery\/892779\/1\/40473319\">Me riding down one of the last tricky bits of Cold Springs.<\/a><br \/>\n..and the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Saddle Rock\u00e2\u20ac\u009d trail (intense!):<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nhoover.smugmug.com\/gallery\/892779\/2\">Barley making it down!<\/a><br \/>\n..and the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<a href=\"http:\/\/nhoover.smugmug.com\/gallery\/892779\/3\/40473169\">street competition<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, which I got last in!<\/p>\n<p>Nathan also has some good pictures of other people..but heck, this is my blog!<\/p>\n<p>So, I left work Thursday evening and drove over to Jason and Sara&#8217;s house. I hitched a ride down to SB with them, and we found (a) campsite at about midnight; it wasn&#8217;t exactly ours, so we switched to the official one in the morning. After registration, we shuttled to the top of the mountain and rode down the Cold Springs trail. Boy! I wish it had some cold springs on it, because it was HOT out. After the ride, we went back to the campsite and chilled for a short bit before going off to dinner w\/the group. <\/p>\n<p>Saturday was an easier ride; well, by easier, I mean shorter. We hiked up Saddle Rock, and attempted to ride down. it was a blast! After that, we had the trials competition, which I attempted. I then did the street competition after getting encouragement from the others. I showed off my extreme skills, such as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153idling\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153riding backwards\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, to score me last place :)<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night, we had a superior banquet. Eyal and the SB uni people totally outdid themselves. It was killer! there was a ton of unicycle gear to give away, and lots of stuff. i got my Defect DVD from Dan via Jess, and I finally got Universe 2 (via a prize on the prize table!).<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was a mellower ride, but fun! <\/p>\n<p>-corbin<\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags start --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;font-size:10px;\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/MUni\" rel=\"tag\">MUni<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/Outdoors\" rel=\"tag\">Outdoors<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/Unicycle\" rel=\"tag\">Unicycle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend was the annual \u00e2\u20ac\u0153California Mountain Unicycle Weekend\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (official website at the SB Unicycle Club).
