Sidestreet Reny Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hey people some of y'all know me but if not. Hello I'm SideStreet Reny and I am an EUC trick rider (musician/artist) from Portland Oregon US. The EUC is something I have spent many hours on, creating and inventing new tricks and trying to advance this new green technology into the future. I need help reaching another level of creativity. This event will be the first of its kind here on the west coast of US and the first I have ever attended. Thanx and big ups to @Rama Douglas and @Marty Backe Me my Wife and my Emotional Support dog Smokey will be traveling from Portland Oregon to Los Angeles California for the Games. I realize it is late but it's going to cost more than we first thought. I would really appreciate any little help you can provide. A couple dollars will make all the difference. Thank you people.- Sidestreet Reny and Lil'Bell Here is the Facebook fundraiser page thanx in advance for your support. https://www.facebook.com/donate/962999244039483/ If ya never seen me ride here ya go.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rama Douglas Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hey guys. Just a quick reminder to registered competitors, please if you haven't already, pay the $20 eventbrite registration fee. I'm spending a lot out of pocket for everything and need to get that fee from all registered riders. Thank you all so much and let's have an awesome and safe and fun inaugural LA EUC Games on Saturday! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 Holy crap that was simply AWESOME!!! The races were exciting to watch , and congratulations to all the winners and participants! @Rama Douglas and family / everyone - you guys really pulled off a great inaugural event! It must have been a crazy amount of work to organize, plan, and execute. Are there going to be more videos? I saw a lot of people filming. That all looked like so much fun! I really liked the night race show with all the EUC lights. Ultra-cool! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect some cool videos, but editing is time consuming process. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blueblade Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 Curious to see the results, too. Will someone receive the honor of "best electric unicyclist in the world"??? It seems like the forum has been much less active for the last several days for some reason, guessing almost all of the leaderboard folks must have been there and/or clocking hundreds of miles of SoCal riding with Marty. Sounds like a great time! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Need more video! Need more video! I got a need to binge! Hey maybe next year you guys could have some sports commentators like they have in other TV broadcasts to give play by plays and colour commentary just to add another dimension to it so we can see who's in the lead, what techniques people are using to bash opponents in Sumo, stuff like that (like on Wipeout!). It would be neat to find out who the contestants are, a little background from where they hail from, what they are riding, etc. Rama did a bang up job directing the games, but it can be a good thing to delegate and offload some more of the work. I think @The Fat Unicyclist would have been a great person to add commentary. Maybe one could also interview the contestants and add a personal side to things to get like a little back story going. Maybe a team manning the livecam making it more mobile might be an idea. It looked though like it was tough enough just to get it all completed in the time allotment available. And EUC cheerleaders?!! Where was the EUC cheer team? Did anyone call the local media for some TV coverage of the event? PS: I'm no legal beaglologist, but I wonder if it might be wise to not use the Olympic symbol in videos or stills as it's copyrighted.

It's the implementation which is very difficult. All the nitty gritty details to implement said ideas takes an amazing amount of time, and it's not like there's any money in this event. I can't believe Rama came close to breaking even on this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe Rama came close to breaking even on this. Oh I believe that 100%. When people watch sporting events, we often don't realize the amount of magic behind the scenes in the control room where there's a director shuffling camera teams around on a wireless com. To direct the games alone looked to be a pretty challenging effort with the timers, lists, tallying, etc. It would be good to see a breakdown of the expenditure sheet / income statement just to find out what it costs to run a show like this. It might help garner some sponsorship money / individual contributions (MintMe, Patreon, GoFundme, Kickstarter, etc?) perhaps to help offset some of the costs. Crowdfunding can be a helpful source. Maybe ahead of time for the next games, there could be some sponsor options with appropriate advertisement rewards. Maybe hold a ticket raffle for a prize at the games?
