[Picture] Mount Maunganui, New Zealand

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Hey,

I am not done yet posting all the great pictures I got from New Zealand ! Here is a Muni one, still standing on top of beautiful Mount Maunganui.

I would also like to say that I am now back to school, I will thus be a little less present in the unicycling community. I am still planning on finishing shooting a (mainly Big) Street video with Émile (him filming and editing, me riding) before the beginning of winter. There is not much left to film, except a couple of tricks and lines I really wanted to get for the video.

Ride on !

[Picture] Lafayette Park, San Francisco

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Hey,

On one of my last day in San Francisco for NAUCC 2010, I went for a little trip with my girlfriend in the city. She took this nice picture of me stillstanding on the back of a bench in Lafayette Park, while holding a chocolate bar in my mouth. The park was truely beautiful and the chocolate was delicious !

Please excuse the poor quality, I had to scan a physical picture (Old School !).

Hugo

P.S. Again, I hope the ratio is correct, I cannot even visualize pictures in my browser.

[Event] Monotréal’s Week End

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Hey,

Next week end, on August 13th, 14th and 15th, Monotréal will be holding its second edition of “Monotréal’s Week End”. This event includes flatland battles, a Street competition (with the new rules, group sessions), a speed trials competition, a high jump and long jump competition (we will probably be testing a new and original way of judging both of these) and a Muni competition.

The goal of this week end is to promote unicycling in general, to discover the city from another point of view, to spot new and upcoming talents and mostly to have a great time !

Everyone is welcomed, if you want more informations, you can go check out the full schedule over www.monotreal.ca or send me a comment.

[Update] Back from NAUCC

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Hey,

It has now been a week that I am back from NAUCC. I have been through the stage of being tired and bored of riding, alone moreover, and am now riding street and distance everyday. I am working on a very cool trick which I should land soon. I also began filming with Émile for a Big Street video of my summer which should be nice too. Finally, I am planning on changing some parts (almost all) of my unicycle because my rim is badly bent and I am tired of 25.4 mm seat posts. While I was at it, I thought I could also change my color scheme, but I am not saying what it will be !
