ultimate frisbee on uni

anybody else hooked into this yet? we are riding 20" trials unis and
found it surprisingly easy to pick up the frisbee without dismounting.
as it was soo fun the 13 year old figures it will be an olympic sport
next decade:

1. 3 second rule for passing
2. pickups without dismounting
3. passing and catching while on uni
4. goals are vertically mounted basketball hoops

potential developments:

5. multiple frisbees
6. multiple goals on each side
7. 24" and 29" unis for midfield and downfield sprints (can anyone pick
up off one of these sizes?)

something like Harry Potter's Quiddich (sp?) but totally for real.

Atlanta area riders email me for a game (we have 4 riders so far and
need more...)

Me, Matt and zippy played "unicycle frisbee" at the recent BUC. I
thought we were the first. Obviously not.

Rock on!

We've played it before. We didn't have a rule on picking up the
frisbee, because we mostly ride 24" and it's quite difficult. Also, if
the frisbee's on the ground it's a turnover anyway.

Because not everyone we play with is a strong unicyclist, we made a
rule that you didn't have to idle to throw; you just needed to throw
from where you caught it or further back.

We played on a basketball court, anywhere past the end line was a goal.

I have to try this. It sounds super cool and possible to develop into a
real sport.

That sounds awesome!

Just a few things;

A 10 second passing rule, like in regular ultimate
And scoring by catching the disc in an end zone.

These things would just be using the rules that already work well in
uni-less ultimate.

One other rule would be that you can dismount, but you cannot catch the
disk or throw it unless you are on your uni. I think that you should be
allowed 1 to 3 revs before throwing. And, I think it should be called
Ultimate Uni.
