Directors

A competitive event such as the UNICON wouldn’t exist without people closely watching for rules to be applied. These directors are there to insure that everything in their competition is clean and enjoyable!

Basketball

David Ilcinkas

I'm David Ilcinkas, I'm French and I mainly play unicycle basketball. I do like downhill even if Bordeaux is not the perfect place to ride. Julien and I would like to set up a great unicycle basketball championship in the country with the greater number of unicycle basketball teams.

Julien Perrot

My name is Julien Perrot and I have been playing for 10 years in the WOOM monobasket team in Lyon.
With David, we think we should offer beautiful tournaments for these UNICONs in France, both to decide between the best in the world, but also to allow everyone to play at their level against players from all over the world.

Freestyle

Patricia Wilton

My name is Patricia Wilton and I am the director for freestyle. This will be my third Unicon being involved in the organization of freestyle. I live in the United States and I am the coach of our local club.

Scott Wilton

My name is Scott Wilton and I love many unicycling disciplines! My current favorite is Muni. I have been unicycling for 16 years and this will be my sixth Unicon. I am a board member of the International Unicycling Federation.

Hockey

Steven Hughes

I am Australian and have been riding for 7 years. I am heavily involved in our national championships and hockey league as well as the international rulebook committee for hockey and urban events. I would like to set up a hockey event that has good communication from the outset to assist with smooth running of the tournaments.

Sam Watson

I'm Sam Watson and I will be Co-directing the hockey. I'm an Australian in Germany who mostly plays hockey and rides a little distance/muni on the side.
It's my second UNICON involved in directing hockey, and we hope to make things run smoother than ever.

Jumps

Edd Hawkes

I'm Edd Hawkes. I've been riding for 17 years. I ride mainly trials and street but I dabble in downhill too.
This will be my second time directing jumps at UNICON and I'm very much looking forward to seeing everyone compete. See you in Grenoble!

Emma Kvist

Hi, I’m Emma Kvist and I’m from from Denmark. I’ve been unicycling and loving it for 14 years now. This will be my second time directing jumps at Unicon, so I’m pretty sure the jump competitions won’t be good - they will be great! Come and join the fun.

Muni

Lasse Bache-Jensen

Hi, I'm Lasse. I live in Denmark and though it is a country with no "mountain" higher than 170 meters, mountain-sports are what I spend most of my free time doing. I spend all of my vacations in the Alps.
This will be my 7th Unicon and 3rd with director responsibilities.

Road races

Ken Looi

I'm from Wellington, New Zealand, and have been unicycling since 2000. My main interest is road racing, although I also ride cross country. This will be my 9th Unicon, and 2nd Unicon as road director. I hope to make this year's road events the best ever! Outside of racing, I organise unicycle tours, ride bikes and sometimes go running.

Jill Cohan

I am Jill Cohan. This my 4th Unicon and first as an assistant director in Road Racing. Although I can ride a unicycle (very, very well), I spend most of my time teaching others to ride and running programs and events in the United States.

Street and flatland

Mark Fabian

Hi, I’m Mark Fabian from Hungary and I ride Trials. I love riding unis, and I also enjoy organizing events; as to me, it is a form of giving back to this amazing sport & community. We will do our best to make Unicon 20 a top notch event!

Stephan Büchele

Hi, I’m Stefan Buchele from Germany and I mainly ride Flatland and a mix of Street and Trials. I was an Event Director for Flatland and Street at Unicon 19, now I am looking forward to take care of these events again!

Track

Jan Vocke

I'm Jan Vocke from Germany, I'm 25 years old and I have done unicycling as a competitive sport for more than ten years now. I started with Track Racing, but now I also do Muni, Road Racing, Freestyle, Hockey and Trial. But most experiences I still have in Track Racing and therefore I'm very happy to support the Unicon 20 Orga Team as Director for the Track Races.

Thierry Soenen

As I am a core team organiser, you can find my bio on the Core Team page.

Trials

Dan Cormeau

I hail from Alberta, Canada. I was the director for trials and speed trials for UNICON 19 in Korea. I have been riding trials since 2006. I have over a decade of woodworking and general construction experience and am a member of the IUF rulebook committee.

Christian Eder

I ride more than 10 years now and I compete since 2011. In Marchtrenk I have organized 4 Trial competitions, called Trial ÖM, in the last few years. They have been an absolute blast!. I am assistant Trials director and together with Dan we try to make the best competition possible for you!

ボランティア

Hey! I'm Jenni Rinker from the US/Denmark. I'm a rider from the Kris Holm Factory Team, and my favorite type of unicycling is unicycle backpacking out in the woods. I've been on the org team for many unicons and am looking forward to another fun event.

As I am a core team organiser, you can find my bio on the Core Team page.

Workshop

Andy Cotter

My name is Andy Cotter and I am working with Tynan Rollo on having many workshops available at Unicon 20. I have been unicycling for over 30 years and this will be my 13th Unicon.

Tynan Rollo

My name is Tynan Rollo, and I'm excited to be helping bring some unique workshops to a decidedly unique event. I've been a unicyclist for over twenty years, and have been to the last five Unicons. I'm passionate about many different unicycle disciplines, though hockey is where I spend most of my time on the wheel!
