I've done the same with a basket ball. I think tennis could be played if you could ride backwards and iddle well. -- thejdw dunawan wrote: why are koxx one unicycles so costly??? forrestunifreak wrote: They are expensive because they use only the finest soft drink cans. don't follow Jesus, follow me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thejdw's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13230 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62031 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I was thinking about this a few days ago when my wife made me hit some balls with her. She said that there's competitive wheelchair tennis, and the main difference is that two bounces are allowed before the ball is hit. So, I guess uni-tennis would be possible with the two bounce rule if you are good enough at unicycling and tennis. -- phlegm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phlegm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8382 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62031 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I think tennis wouldn't work very well on a unicycle. You can't move laterally, which really affects your ability to react to a volley coming at tennis speeds, and it's even worse when you're idling. Balls sports work on a unicycle if they are slow-paced enough that you don't need to react to the ball immediately. I don't see how the two-bounce rule would help much; the ball will be moving faster than you can ride, so if you can't get to it on the first bounce, you won't get to it. Maybe it would work if you slowed it down by playing it over a volleyball net rather than a tennis net. -- tholub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62031 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Similar experience to tholub; you have to change directions awfully quick, which makes tennis a lot less fun than basketball or hockey on unicycles. -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "pretty much every trail that we've done on the California or Moab Muni weekends is an XC trail." -- Kris Holm, on XC from a North Shore point of view ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62031 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
