Recently I joined German team RideOne. I’m really grateful for this opportunity and I hope that I will be a worthy member of the team. I’m looking forward to represent RideOne at competitions in the adult female category and to learn new things. It still feels a bit unreal to be a part of RideOne.
This weekend we had a two-day UF training-camp in Duisburg. We got there on Friday and rode flatland together with some friends from team RideOne. We rode at a really nice spot, on the grounds of a closeddown steel-factory. I relanded my inflip and started working on some new tricks.
The great Lisanne Boer unicycled 24 hours continuously to raise money for Rene Kids Centre She broke the world record for female and achieved a total distance of 412 kms. Just imagine that: unicycling over 400 kms on your trusty 36″, in one full day, without sleep. Amazing achievement by an amazing athlete.
Here I am overthinking my unicycle crash. It happened while I was still warming up. I didn’t do any strange or tricky stunts. I was just cycling a bit, but somehow I managed to fall. Didn’t really hurt myself but such an expected crash always comes as a shock.
Yes folks, after months of rain we suddenly had a dry and windless day. It was quite a shock as I didn’t recognise the sun at first too. But that gold stain in the sky made it possible to train on the streets of Leiden with my friend Julia. We practiced some jumps and flips.
For liberation day (May 5) we played the music-theater show Arum dem Fayer in Venlo. Before the show I practised spins and rolls on my unicycle. After the show onstage we enjoyed a liberation-meal with part of the audience.
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).
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).
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!
Today I went to the beautiful city of Leiden for a unicycle-training at Circus Miloco. This weekly training starts at 18.00h, but I have to travel 90 minutes to get there. To make the best of the visit we combine the unicycle-training with an educational project in the city.
