A couple days ago, I was out for a ride. I went behind a school, where some guys were shootin hoops. I called for the ball, and i dribbled it and made the shot, just missing the hoop. I felt good control, and I think it’d be fun to get a game like that going.
Has anyone tried this, or other uni/other sport?
Yeah I’ve tried uni basketball, but either I found unicyclists who couldn’t play basketball or basketballers who couldn’t unicycle.
And I’ve done a spot of jousting and uni wrestling.
I’ve given it a try on occasion, but found shooting to be quite hard… I wasn’t sure if I had to stop to shoot, or if I could keep rolling… Also, I found I’d try and hop to make the shot.
It was fun, but pretty tough to actually make the shot 
Yeah I must admit shooting was really tough. Plus there’s the travelling rule cause you can’t hold the ball (like when aiming for a shot) and move around… unless you do a lay-up, but then you have to be in the air to avoid the travelling rule. We’d have to make up our own rules, and practive shooting!
It was the travelling rule which had me confused, too. I think it’d be kindof hard to apply to unicycles… Prehaps 1 revolution allowable?
The official IUF rules for basketball are here http://www.unicycling.org/IUF/rulebook/iufrules/9basket.html
ive played polo and lacrosse
I guess the rules work?!
Lacrosse must be hard, but polo makes sense. Is that the sport for posh unicycling? 
I’ve done some jousting and some ultimat frisbee on my uni. Next week i plan on teaching my frisbee team to ride, then we could have a lot of fun
Uni Polo. Sounds like a good match.
I’ve played a little bit before. I didn’t make a lot of baskets but I made a swoosh one time:D
You’re going to teach them in a week?
And as for the one rev per dribble thing…well, what if someone’s on a 20 inch, and someone’s on a Coker?
some guys in berkley CA do it every week
heheh i tried uni marco polo was quite fun but have to play in a gym
Check out the King Charles Troupe - a group of travelling uni basketball players - this site is rubbish, I’ve seen a much better one with videos but I can’t find it now, it’s certainly been mentioned on this forum. I used to play at school, try slam dunking of a giraffe, great fun. Also i play uni hockey every week, and have done jousting and sumo.
Basketball was my sport of choice when I was a teenager. So I’ve thought about trying uni-basketball, I just haven’t yet.
