一輪車
UNICONは一輪車の代表的なさまざまな種目が行なわれるオリンピックです。 もしあなたが一輪車をサーカスやジャグリングのように思っていらっしゃるとしたら、UNICONはあたなにまったく新しい一輪車の世界をお見せします。
UNICONで見ることができる一輪車ガイド:
演技
This is like figure skating, but on a unicycle. Competitors compete in individual, pairs and group routines, which are set to music. Each 3min routine is performed in front of a panel of judges, and are marked according to their artistic performance, skill difficulty, execution, and originality. Competitors do a variety of tricks including pirouettes, spins and glides just like figure skating.
トラックレース
These are events held on an athletics track. As well as traditional athletics style races like 100m, 400m and 1600m, there are unicycle specific races like one-foot, backwards and gliding races. There are also high-jump and long-jump events.
マウンテンユニサイクリングとトライアル
This is similar to mountainbiking, but done on one wheel. Competitors ride unicycles equipped with mountainbike tyres and wheels, and race in downhill, cross-country, as well as trials (negotiating obstacles similar to bicycle trials).
長距離レース
Similar to road-bicycling, but again done on one wheel. Riders tend to ride large wheeled unicycles, often equipped with gears, and reach speeds of 30-40km/hr. The races are held over 10km and a standard Marathon 42.195km
ストリート
This is the newest and fastest growing segment in unicycling. Imagine doing skateboard style grinds, drops and flips, but on one wheel instead of four! These events are held at a local skatepark, and riders will amaze you with some of their skills and put the ‘extreme’ into unicycling.
一輪車ホッケーと一輪車バスケットボール
As the name implies, it is a team sport played with one wheel. Hockey and Basketball are the traditional team sports played at Unicon, and follow a round-robin style elimination tournament.
