AUS Uninats 2014 is definitely on from October 3rd-6th 2014.
This news has been circulated but has scrolled off the front page already, so this is just a reminder in case you were wondering or need to confirm.
Venues are still being finalised, but the action will centre around the Sydney Northern Beaches as the event is being hosted by Northern Beaches Unicycle Club and organised by Charlie and his team.
Put the date in your diary - registrations will open once the venues (and therefore costs) are finalised.
This is Labour Day Holiday Long Weekend in some states, and usually also the finals of some football thing or other - you'll get over it...
This video displays trick creativity that has rarely been seen since the early days of Spencer Hochberg (look him up, you're welcome).
Filmed and edited by Eli Brill this video includes new tricks as well as massive tricks like the 1260 degree unispin and miracle whip.
Many flatland videos are available on Brill's channel so check it out for some beautiful edits.

While some people were breaking out the cake to celebrate the Queens birthday, a horde of unicyclists were meeting to celebrate the sport of Unicycle Hockey.
This competition saw the addition of a new team to the competition in the NBUC Pirates as well as a scratch team, the Newtown Sloths. With well over 50 riders AUHL3 was the biggest tournament held so far.
Nine teams took part in the tournament which involved two pools and finals.
SWS Wombats were undefeated to finish top of pool A with NBUC Stingrays replicating this feat in pool B. The final saw SWS Wombats defeat the NBUC Stingrays 7-9 in an action packed game with many skilled goals.
The SWS Vikings who were the previous tournament champions took third place.
1st - SWS Wombats
2nd - NBUC Stingrays
3rd - SWS Vikings
First half of the final in which Stingrays led 5-4. Wombats came home strong to win 7-9
"The only sport I know where it is an achievement just to get on the court" just about sums up unicycle hockey.
This video shows the fast paced game of unicycle hockey and the skills riders possess to get that little green ball around the court and into the goal.
With the Australian Unicycle Hockey League (www.hockey.unicycling.org.au/) increasing to eight teams and holding its next tournament in just over a week it's a great time to get into unicycle hockey if you haven't already.

Canberra hosted their first tournament for the newly formed Australian Unicycle Hockey League (AUHL) over the weekend.
Teams that took part in the competition were the Canberra Bushrangers, SWS Wombats, NBUC Stingrays, NBUC Riptides, North Canberra Roos, Newtown Zombies, and SWS Vikings.
Though only the second tournament of the year, it was clear from first bully off that all teams had improved since the competition a month before.
The previous tournament winners, South-West Sydney Wombats, found themselves with many tough games as teams aimed up in an attempt to shut down their players. They played well to grind out enough wins to take second place.
The Stingrays from the Northern Beaches managed to pull their team together after seventh spot in the previous tournament. Focusing their aggression on winning games instead of fighting with each other on court, they managed to keep it together to take third place.
The clear stars of the tournament were the South-West Sydney Vikings who despite fielding a four man side pillaged their way to tournament champions. Through skilled passing and excellent court coverage they shut out enough opposing teams to take the top spot.
It was great to see that many teams outside of the top three managed draws with teams on the podium. This showed that the level of unicycle hockey in Australia is improving rapidly with many teams dedicating more time to team practice and skills sessions. This recent improvement in Australian hockey is most likely due to the newly formed AUHL.
You know when the sign says "3 have died! Walk bikes", there will be some technical riding.
A well shot video showing some very extreme trails at Moab Munifest in southeastern Utah. The two day mountain unicycling festival concluded on March 23 last month and this video was released soon after.
Keen eyes will recognise many well known mountain and trial riders throughout.
