In my (biased) opinion, however, I think it would be even cooler if
this game of "Capture the Hat" were sort of merged with my idea for
Uniball (see thread: 'Uniball instead of Rollerball'

That sounds awesome! Makes the game seem a lot more fesable, you know,
except for finding a uniball arena

how about dodgeball or rugby, for dodgeball you could try and knock
people off the uni insteado of just hitting them, could get either
really technical (people aiming for the wheel) or really brutal.

Thanks, Matt! I'm not so sure that it would be too difficult to find a
place, though. There's a skatepark not too far away on Long Island that
will soon have a Roller Hockey arena:

'Roller Hockey at Oil City!' (http://www.oilcitysk8.com/hockey.html)

-"Recently Oil City has torn up what used to be a 90 ft. by 34ft. long
turf field, and is now being turned into a roller hockey rink with a
scoreboard! The rink is available for team practices, games and even
personal use. The price is 80$/per hour. Please give us a call for
reservations, availability and any other questions. 516-594-1888"-

The management was totally keen on having unicyclists utilize their
skatepark (though I haven't been there yet because it doesn't seem so
great compared to other parks in the area, albeit a bit farther away),
so there's a decent chance they would allow their Roller Hockey arena
to be utilized (especially if they're looking to generate more business
- which they seem to be real interested in doing) for a "Capture the
Hat" arena. Being they already have a skatepark on the premises as
well, it may even be possible to have a (movable) straight ramp setup
in the arena.

The harder part will probably be finding enough (ideally eight, but six
would probably work) Coker riders in the area to make two teams. There
are already two Coker riders residing on LI (JustOneWheel and Shibumi),
plus David Stone lives in Brooklyn... so we may have enough to form a
NY team. Maybe the Philly guys would come down a couple nights a week
to compete against us? If we had eight riders (four per team) it would
only cost us $10 each per practice!

don't see how that would work... unless:
A) The riders all carried sledgehammers or
B) Everyone rode on torker cx's until they just fell apart, or
C) Both of the above.
