GUC 2026 was amazing!
This German Unicycle Championship (GUC 2026) looked a bit different than usual this year. Instead of the competitions being spread out over two days, we got both Flatland and Street in the skatepark on Saturday, with a bunch of workshops scheduled for Friday-evening and Sunday. The whole weekend it was really, really hot.
Awesome GUC Trials 2025!
It was my first time there and I enjoyed it a lot. The obstacles seemed really hard at first, and it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. But I ended up landing a lot more than I expected! I had some awesome GUC Trials 2025!
EUC 2025 in Miskolc Hungary
The Extreme Unicycle Championships (EUC) were held in Miskolc in Hungary this year. I had an amazing time and am very, very happy with my results. Overall it was super fun. Miskolc – Factory Arena The Factory Arena is an amazing location for any Urban-sport.
Looking back at GUC 2025
The German Unicycle Championships of 2025 were so, so nice. I learned new things in the workshops and had a lot of fun in the competitions. I also really enjoyed spending time with my friends, my teammates of Unicycle Forever and seeing so many unicyclists in one place again!
Dutch Unicycle Championships 2025
The Dutch unicycle road championships (NKE) were a lot of fun. For the first time in years we competed on a different track. The “Pijnenburg Parcours” in Tilburg is really nice. Is part of a huge sport-park in a very green natural area with streams and such. Really nice.
LAUCC in Colombia
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.
UFO 2025 unicycle-convention
My unicycle is spinning the 540 unispin, but then I make an error with the placement of my feet. My left foot lands on the crank just fine, but my dumb right foot totally misses it. But it isn’t over yet.
Thanks 2024
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.
STOKED! At ROC 2024
STOKED! Is a music-theatershow about Esther who has one passion: the unicycle. It’s non-biographical, with the exception of the unicycle-part. LOL. I play Esther, while professional actress Ksenia Marasanova plays other parts, like Esther’s mother and all kinds of people Esther encounters on the street.
Let’s talk Unicon 21 a bit
Unicon 21 is still a few weeks away, but as we have a some challenges ahead I’m preparing a few things in advance to avoid last minute surprises. Luggage of course is a big thing, just as getting there.
Dutch Open Unicycle Championship 2024 – my aftermovie
The Dutch Open Unicycle Championships were a blast. I wrote a few blogs about:
Open Dutch Unicycle Championships 2024
Participated in the Open Dutch Championships 2024 and had a great time. Scored a lot of personal bests and had a brilliant day with my friends. The Open Dutch Unicycle Championships (NKE) once was my first unicycle-event ever.
Training for Open Dutch Unicycling Championships 2024
On June 1st the Open Dutch Unicycle Championships are held. And the organisation was cool enough to organize a formal training day to train 10M slow, slalom, long jump and the start of sprint. It was a great day that started with a cool warming up organised by Lindsey and Elize. And some relaxed unicycling.
Workshops for Open Dutch Unicycle Championships 2024
June 1st is the 14th Open Dutch Championship Unicycle. A great event and for many Dutch unicyclists their first competition. I was honoured to host a workshop long jump for the 2024 edition of the NKE (as we informally know it).
Workshop long jump training NKE
During the training session for the Dutch Unicycle Championships (NKE) I was asked to host a workshop long jump. So I did. It was absolutely stunning weather, which was very nice after something of 5 months of rain. I all I trained two groups of young riders (like I’m old haha).
Israeli Unicycle Convention
Unicycling for me is about the community. Compared to football, we are only with a few. I can’t think of anything better than unicycling with other unicyclists. The fun together, helping each other and the learning by doing. To me it’s absolutely the best thing in the world.
NKE Training
Saturday April 13 is the traditional training-event for the Dutch Championship of Unicycling (NKE: Nederlands Kampioenschappen Eenwieleren). The Dutch Championship focuses on track-disciplines like the 100m, 800m, 5km and 10km. But there is also slalom, 50m 1 foot, 10m slow and long jump.
Thank you LAUCC2024!
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.
My first Muni experience
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 stay in Bogotá
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.
Hello Colombia!
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!
Bye 2023
Talking about awesome! Yes, that was my 2023. I made a movie with most of my highlights. Probably forgot a few, as you can’t remember (or even capture) everything. Nonetheless am I very pleased with the movie showing my year. I wish you all the best for 2024!
Participating in LAUCC 2024
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.
2023 ROC Unicycle convention
One of my favourite unicycle-events is the annual ROC Convention organised by Ride One Unicycling from Solingen. It’s two days full with workshops and a lot of fun. In 2022 I landend my 180 unispin here for the first time. It was also the event I did my first drop in (thanks Ian, Jan!).
