How difficult is it to do a “real” Swiss Group Freestyle routine? If other Countries can do it why we couldn’t do it too?
In the last Unicon I had the plan to do a “real” Swiss Team. For this it was really important that we had good unicyclist; and this we had . Nevertheless it was difficult because we couldn’t practising together because there was to much distance between us as we had German guys in our team too.
For doing such a good team like Danemark, Japan or USA we had to do something. It was still possible, but we needed help.
We had to change somethings in our performance. For doing good at a Group Freestyle routine it isn’t enough to create only the group and the idea. People have to reorganize our structure too but exactly this makes it also more interesting. There aren’t a lot of place who talented and motivated young unicyclist can live their creativity.
In 2006 I began to search a teacher for a freestyle Practice. I found a great “sensei” in Julien Monney. In 2008 there came a second coach in the open freestyle practice, Gilles Saudan. I hope that I get during the years even more motivated people. My idea is to built a group in which everyone can sound out their aims so that the motivation will be bigger in our team.
My other goals are:
- We should doing more for getting new kids. —> Help create clubs and groups.(Internet site?)
- Free to test Skill Level 1-3, 4 and above needs a official tester who has to retested (1-3) when unicyclist would have Skill Level (4-10) Tested.
-Skill Level Test as Workshops at races, Hockey matches.
- Space for doing Workshops at Competitions. (Important step for more fun)
- Create conventions
- Create a Swiss Freestyle team for Unicon 16. Skill Level 5 required. Own practice beside Nidau. Changing practice places. Space for own Ideas.
- Hearing ideas from every Unicyclist. And helping to involving in the Unicycle scene.
What do you think about that? Comment please!
