The Latin American Championship 2025 is coming and will be held in El Salvador. I was really looking forward to going there and saved for it, but due to theater-obligations I can’t make it. A real pity as the vibe and people there are really, really cool.
2024 was an awesome unicycle year. Learned a lot. Met incredible people. Did muni for the first time ever, at Laucc in Colombia of all place. What an experience that was! Had some great personal bests. High jump over bar at CFM in France: 60cm.
What an experience! Don’t even know were to start to describe it all. I think I will do it in a few posts. Let’s start with a general wrap up. For those who don’t know it: LAUCC is the Latin-American Unicycle Championship and Convention.
As The Netherlands is really flat we don’t have a Muni-culture. Most unicyclists from Holland follow the same path I took: you discover the unicycle in a youth-circus and if you like it you start unicycling track. I still do track and I love long distances (10+ kms).
My dad and I have rented a small apartment next to La Candelaria, the vibrant heart of Bogotá. It’s beautiful, yesterday’s pictures were taken there. Our apartment is in the top of a high-rise. It’s very practical. We have a small kitchen, decent bathroom/shower and good beds.
So here I am, 9000 kms from home in sunny Colombia. Downtown Bogotá to be more precise. This city is home to 11-and-a-half million people and is in 2024 host of the Latin American Unicycle Championship and Convention. Or the Campeonato y Convención LatinoAmericano de Monociclo as it is known in Spanish. Hello Colombia!
2024 will open with the South-American Unicycle Championships in Januari. I will be participating in LAUCC 2024, the Latin American competition. It will be fun and very educational. Played my theatershow “Eaters” a number of times and acted as Theater-technician during a lot of other shows.
