South African Uni-Hockey

not off the top of my head
we're in the beginning phase of creating a cyber-home for unicycling in
south africa so that less people buy a uni, learn to ride and then kinda
chucks it in the garage
because the numbers are so small (and most of us came to unicycling thru
juggling) we decided to have only one initiative so as not to needlessly
split our efforts
for more info, please visit 'the Yahoo group' (http://tinyurl.com/28hvz)
that we created
we'll use this untill such time as www.juggle.co.za is up and running
i hope to eventually have www.unicyclist.co.za to serve the uni
community exclusively
if u do know of any uni'ers in south africa anywhere, please get them in
touch with me or me in touch with them?
thanx

time to BUMP this thread again
we've decided to move our playing time a bit later in the afternoon as
summer is arriving with some conviction and 13h00 in the afternoon is
still quite blistering
to do that, we had to move out playing day as well
so, in the unlikely event of any lurking south african unicyclists
reading this, we'll get together on SUNDAY the 7th of November at
15h00
if u're interested in joining us, there are directions on how to find
the venue higher up in this thread

i wish u could set a monthly BUMP on a thread
then i wouldn't have to search to find this one again
but i'll hang in there
fully believing that one day, one lurking south african unicyclist will
see this thread and join us for a thrilling game of unihoki

we're playing agin this sunday, the 5th of dec, at 15h00
after the game, we'll perform the time-honoured south african tradition
of a 'bring-n-braai'

should be fun, hope to c u there

Oh no GILD! If we could, I guess many people would set the BUMP
feature on their threads, and we might spam our own forum to death.
Feel free to manually bump though, because it is driven by your
continued passion and that's OK.

As far as I'm concerned, it would be OK if the automatically bumped
threads are copied to a separate Autobump forum - in addition to
remaining unchanged on the original forum. The Autobump forum will get
known as the forum of stuff you've seen before and is likely to be
outdated anyway. How many people would go there? And on a regular
basis at that, or a specific thread is already 'bumped down' by
others.

have no fear Klaas, i was (half) kidding
either way, i would see it as a moderator's tool (a bit like making a
thread 'Sticky') and not one for the rest of us to wield at will

just some feedback ref the unihoki
it's taken since July, but we finally managed to get a 'proper' game of
unihoki together
by 'proper' i mean that we had 10 players and could play 5-a-side for
the first time
comparing yesterday's play to our initial wobbles in July was kinda
fun

i emailed south africa's main 'Cycling' TV show, called 'SuperCycling'
(http://www.supercycling.co.za/) , last week and told them about us and
what we're doing and basically told them that we can do with all the
exposure we can get and i'm sure they can do with an entertaining
filler
the guy just phoned me back 5minutes ago
sadly he missed yesterday but asked me to forward him our list of
fixtures (we have a list of fixtures now?!? ) so we can get
together next year as they'd love to cover it
and once we have them at the UniHoki, we'll get them to cover the
long-distance riders


we're just waiting for some uploading to take place then i'll post a
link to the pics from yesterday
we experimented with a new photographer yesterday
by early next year we should also be able to record the games on a
digi-vid cam so we can sit and do video-analysis after the game
smoke, mirrors and good fun


on the downside, the In-Line Hockey Rink we've been using has recently
been resurfaced
they used a bitumin-based surface which is wonderfull to play on but,
according to someone from the club, a bit too soft to deal with the
pedals of the unis when a player falls
the indentations cause by the pedals may be a problem
we're looking into rubber-strips to place around the ends of the pedals
because we really don't want to lose this venue

now u know

Until the replies kick in. Hey, I liked that external airseat!

(Edit: later I saw you started a separate thread on this, but I'll
leave my reply in here.)

this is still an issue
Jason got a whole bunch of rubber pipes that should be ideal for this
purpose
we'll cable-tie them onto the pedals before the game on Sunday and then
a representative of the InLine Club will inspect them and make the call

if they decide that we can't use the main rink, we can use a tennis
court at the same venue and look for something better for next month,
but i'm hopefull
i'm also hoping that the lure of TV coverage might work in our favour


C U Sunday!

WOW - how's that for inflation! In your SMS you said R25 a player. In
your response 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/6eo6n) you also quoted R25.
What's the extra R10 for?

R10 - by the way - is equivalent to a McFlurry!
