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

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.

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

My name is Greta Koehler and I’m from the United States. I've been riding for almost 14 years and my main discipline is freestyle. This will be my 4^th Unicon and my 1^st as a director. I’m so excited to finally all be together again at a Unicon 🙂

I will be co-directing freestyle. I enjoy many disciplines, but I am especially passionate about the artistry and technical ability of freestyle. I have been riding for 14 years and have been a competitor and judge for 9 years. From the United States, I've been involved in organizing the North American Championships.

Hockey

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

Trials

I'm bourru from France and co-directeur of trial. I'm very proud and happy to welcome unicon "in home". I want to offer the best trial competition possible!

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!

Volunteers

Hi I'm Val, it's my fourth UniCon and the second time I'm helping to organize volunteers. My main disciplines are hockey and muni but I'm mainly here to have a great time with old and new friends around the world.

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

Workshop

My name is Andy Cotter and I am the workshop coordinator at Unicon 20. I have been unicycling for over 30 years and this will be my 13th Unicon.
