One could say that using our time and expertise should hold monetary value like it often does in the society. But that would be completely against the whole point of why we do it. I get that, & the other comments from others to similar points. I make content too which I don't charge for as it's not my core business, but I certainly don't give away my IP rights without attribution & I control that strictly, especially if it's to be used for a for-profit purpose rather than an educational purpose. At least TFU is doing the right thing by asking rather than just taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loved the challenge of flying in the woods. I agree. The way he effortlessly navigated between the trees was amazing.

UniBlab Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I don't know why.................the Haka brings me to tears when I see it performed correctly and with passion and no fear of dying. I was fortunate to be introduced to the Haka while playing in a hockey tournament back in the 80s. Ever since I've felt a connection..... This is the best Haka I have ever seen, and it moves me to this day! For those of you who don't understand, that's ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Fat Unicyclist Posted July 26, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone (except maybe @NastyFartPants ) who offered their footage for us to use during the Lifestyle Expo that we attended for the weekend just gone. You have some awesome footage that definitely helped grab the attention of those wandering past. We were fortunate to be able to secure a large space - 9m × 9m (about 10yd square) - which meant that we were able to demonstrate and even get (brave) volunteers up on wheels to try them out. Having said that, spending 4-5 hours a day for 3 days riding in such a small space is very challenging and while we all "leveled up" our abilities several times, we were also completely knackered from doing so. Here are a few photos from the event... As you can see, there was a lot of interest (once we explained that we weren't selling Roombas). And we even blocked the thoroughfare completely (several times) during the event - to the point that the exhibitor across from us started helping explain how EUC work in an attempt to keep people moving... Sales from this won't match the cost for us to attend the event (sorry @bcarp). But we fully expected this and our primary objective was to introduce people to EUC, as it can't even considered as a transport option (or a hobby) if they don't know what an EUC is! It's winter here now, but hopefully come springtime, when people who are wanting to get out and about, they will remember us and consider an EUC as a way to enhance their mobility. I guess we will have to wait and see. Regardless of that, and based on the number of times we heard the comment, "I have never seen one of these before, what is it?" New Zealand now as an additional 20K+ people who know that the "ridiculous one wheel contraption" is an Electric Unicycle, which makes the whole thing worthwhile!

My career has been in international events/conventions and public speaking (albeit not for EUCs of course), and being able to use my specialized skills in this way to support the growth of EUCs would be one of my dream jobs. If anyone knows of any businesses interested in doing conventions/trade-shows/etc similar to this anywhere in North America or Europe (or hell I've done a convention in Australia before), I would sincerely appreciate the contact information to be able to send them my resume.
