stupid muni idea
My moth is just fine when I MUni (I keep him in a little box so he doesn't get squashed). I think in an egg/spoon race you usually just hold it in your hand. But then again, nothing is too stupid for a unicycling game idea. You set up the game, and everybody else decides if they want to play, or take pictures, or run away. There's always room for more silly games. The ones that seem to work best are the ones that don't cost anything, don't require specialized equipment, and don't have rules that are overly complicated. Sumo comes to mind, but is only one example of many fun things I've done over the years. -- johnfoss - More Moab Fun John Foss, the Uni-Cyclone "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com "Read the rules!" -- 'IUF Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/rulebook/) -- 'USA Rulebook' (http://www.unicycling.org/usa/competition/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42598 |

stupid muni idea
I think the most fun I've had on a uni was the Sumo Wrestling that John Foss hosted at NAUCC at one of the breakout sessions. We did individual competitions and team competitions. It was really a blast! Exhausting, too. (I'll let John fill in the description of the court and the rules of engagement.) In my opinion, Sumo was more fun than the flaming hockey because *involvement is total* in Sumo whereas you spend a lot of time waiting when playing hockey. Also, it's very surprising how "less good" riders can best better ones. It's very physical, though; not like just riding with an egg on a spoon. -- munipsycho - Sometimes I fall down. ===================== 'Munipsycho.com' (http://munipsycho.com//) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ munipsycho's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9589 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42598 |

My friend, Andy, an occasional unicyclist, is still suffering from his injuries sustained several months ago in a *fig* and spoon race. He damaged a ligament in his shoulder when he was doing a diving roll to avoid a man dressed as an Arab, and wrapped in a mattress. I kid you not. Food and spoon races can be very physical indeed. -- Mikefule - Roland Hope School of Unicycling "Sumo comes to mind, but is only one example of many fun things I've done over the years."

Perhaps 'this' (http://www.koxx-one.com/images/en_construction.gif) is a better idea for a muni competition? -- goldenchicken II - There is more to cycling Olaf Johansson www.enhjulingsfolket.se www.muni.se ------------------------------------------------------------------------ goldenchicken II's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10248 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42598 |
