NZ Records

This is the definitive list of record holders for riders in New Zealand. Records are usually set at official unicycling events or cycle races. See also NZUNi Events Results

For rules governing various events see NZUNi Competition Rules

Suggested format is a bolded title, then a list of Date : Name : Comments / details in chronological order (so we can see a history of riders through time). Records can only be set by someone who either has NZ Citizenship or Permanent Residency and is a memnebr of the Federation. Therefore, if someone sets a NZ record at an overseas event like Unicon or Aussie Uninats, it should count. I think that's how it works in other sports. Perhaps have age/sex sections for records too, that way youngsters have a chance to set their names in stone without being pros. Like soccer, we could have nation wide U12s, U15s, U17s, U21s, mens, womens.
