Unicycle Trials – GUC 2025

I don’t have that much experience with sports-photography, as theater and festivals are the arenas I’m used to. Through the years I made a lot of photos of my daughter Sofia and her unicycle of course, but never covered a whole event a lot of athletes, all with different techniques and timing. Now sometimes I volunteer as a unicycle event-photographer. I find it exciting but still have a lot to learn. 

Disciplines like Trials are pretty new to me. I’m not familiar with the techniques and the lines. Some of them are really flying all over the place. So for the time being I prefer to stay back a bit to not annoy the athletes.

Another problem I have to overcome is my excitement. The athletes sometimes really awe me with really cool jumps and climbs. It made me forget to take a photo of the moment more than once. 

These photos are from a set I took during the German Unicycle Championships Trials (2025) in Wildberg-Sulz. It’s a really awesome site, both indoor and outdoor.
