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. All great ideas, and all in the original plans. With very little budget, less volunteers showing up than planned, people miraculously appearing last minute to help with the livestreaming, cameras, some things went overlooked. Planned on commentator, but I don't think anyone else could have done this first round other than myself. It was a huge undertaking, all while supporting a family and having about a week to do all the last minute stuff, I think it was a huge success. It was a true community effort and we did the best we could, riders included. This was no easy course, nor did I want it to be. Looking forward to the next and yes I share your sentiments and with any luck, our great footage will be the springboard for attaining all of the goals come next year. Thanks again to all involved and to the community as a whole because I didn't do this, my family didn't do this....we ALL did it together. Oh and that Olympic flyer was not supposed to get used. 😬 The livestreaming guys found it on my computer and used it during breaks.

Roll_On Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks to Alien Rides and meepmeepmayer for capturing Dominic's freestyle performance, the 1st rider with umbrella performing Singin' in the Rain. By any chance you have captured the entire 2 minutes performance. If so, can you upload the video to some web site so that I can download it. This is very memorable, even after hitting an obstacle, and falling down near the end. Thanks, Dominic (forum name Roll_On). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone ahead and sent you a link to download the raw footage of your performance. The color profile is pretty flat so you might want to bump the saturation a bit. Have fun with it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rev Rides guys don't post on this forum I think, but you can contact them via a Youtube message or via reddit (they originally posted the video there): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxvvNY_fefMxrEHQGJeFZ1w/videos https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricUnicycle/comments/duwkr9/our_rev_rides_vlog_post_from_the_2019_la_euc Taylor Moats @TMoats was also seen there filming and hasn't released a video (yet), so he might have footage, too. Also, Who has footage of the "Singing in the Rain" umbrella performance? Please contact @Roll_On he'd like to have footage of his performance. Some other people might have filmed. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyboyEUC Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) @Roll_On I also have the whole thing. I was a judge sitting front and center I wanted to record all the performances but my memory card was full after the 3 performance. I deleted all but yours! Do you care if I post it on youtube or would you like a download link in a PM? Edit: I also have your Musical Chairs semifinal I think Edited November 18, 2019 by Flyboy10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roll_On Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hello Flyboy 10: Many thanks for capturing my Freestyle performance (the 1st performer with umbrella). Posting to a web site like YouTube or Google Drive is OK with me as long I could download the entire video. Concerning your statement, "but my memory card was full after the 3 performance", thus being the first performer in this case appear to be an advantage You can send me the link to my e-mail dowu@dir.ca.gov. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, but not sure, he has also done sculptures. The style is the same. Really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
