This year the Newtown festival (9 November) saw a bumper crowd, with thousands of people getting down with the beats and yummy food on a hot and steamy Sunday in Sydney's inner west – with a special unicycle treat.
It's pretty rare to see unicyclists go up against two wheeled riders on a trials course.
Lucky revelers got to see just that, as local champs Rhys K, Dan Cowling, Matty P, Kev Wharton and Isaac Conyers demonstrated their amazing skills and, let's face it, balls in a trials demonstration with bicyclists.
The riders drew a pretty big crowd for most of the day, with highlights (for this observer) being the uni jumps off the roof of the truck and Rhys' attempts at a unicycle front-flip from a pile of pallets, amid chants of 'Flip! Flip! Flip!' from the crowd. While he didn't quite get there – but oh so close – we hope to see a second attempt at UNINATS 2009 or UNICON in NZ!
