Hockey, played on unicycles with big wheels. It’s all in the name really.
We’ve got at least 3 cokers coming, and several 29ers. Bring the biggest wheel you can ride and a stick if you’ve got one (we have spare sticks if not).
I’m riding a coker with 110 cranks, I’m not sure this is the ultimate hockey vehicle, but I can’t be bothered with changing cranks around and anyway I want to have the biggest wheel there.
Is it co-incidence that some has started a ‘worst ever unicycling injury’ thread on the same day as this fabulous event? I don’t really have anything interesting at the moment, but my imagination has been working hard on permutations of 3 cokers, 2 with short cranks, with riders holding sticks and paying more attention to the ball than other riders.
I put long cranks (150’s) on my Coker at Saturday’s unimeet and had a practice with a hockey stick in preparation for tonight. It wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be but it’s by no means easy. I think Andy’s bringing his camera so hopefully we’ll get some good video
Another fantastic nights hockey with a difference and only a slight pain in my ankle from a multiple pile up (one of several pile ups)
We ended up with 3 x 36’s, 3 x 29’s, 2 x 24’s (Muni’s) and 2 x 20’s. I do think though that smaller wheels are more practical if somewhat slower (it’s fun cruising past a 20 on a 36 ‘till you have to stop).
might as well introduce you to the team too.
on the far left is Unicus (coker (and yes he did have a brake but only used it once to stop himself running into the fence))
