I don’t know why, but I guess I like to play alot of sports in my spare time. I like to play basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and any other competitive sport.
I also like TV, and video games. I am not too much of a book person, even though I should be. I think that I could live with just sports and TV. Especially since I don’t eat very much.
I tend to unicycle a lot in my spare time. I’ve been getting into trials a lot more recently, and boy is it fun…
My other sporting activities include:
waterskiing
kneeboarding
raquetball
mountain biking
and riding motorcycles off road
I used to race mountainbikes and motorcycles, but haven’t the time to get serious about racing again, I’d rather just ride my uni’s nowadays
unicycle, speed cube, practice magic, get on the computer, go to school, sleep, eat, repeat.
We’ve had an activity unexpectedly develop over the past several months. We play uni-hockey of course at club meetings on Monday nights. I had dreams of uni-hockey leagues through the Park District so the boys and I organized a time at our church gym on Saturday mornings for our uni-hockey players to practice stick handling skills on foot in hopes of playing better uni-hockey. Saturdays have now become a regular floor hockey time with about 10-20 “kids” showing up ranging in age from 10 to 40 something. I thought uni-hockey was bad. Two hours of floor hockey on Saturday mornings will rip the lungs out of your chest. It sure is a great time and even better, one more activity for the boys and me to do together.

interesting development
could some of the newcommers be coaxed onto unis eventually?
my main question is about the ‘wisdom’ of practising handling skills on foot to improve uni-hockey
(and i’m asking because i want to know, not to be full of it)
shouldn’t u spend as much uni-hockey time on the uni as possible?
even tho u may be focusing on handling skills, your riding skills gets a workout at the same time?
and
does improved handling skills learnt on foot relate to being on the uni?
Dave,
I agree that one should spend as much time as possible on a uni in order to learn the sport. My thought was to break down the elements of uni-hockey, practice them individually, then put them together on Monday nights during our regular practice. What I didn’t expect to happen was that we would fall in love with floor hockey and that it would grow so much in popularity. It is one heck of an exercise. So now we play floor hockey games on Saturday mornings and have a blast with it.

i played field hockey all thru high school and at university
also played a couple of games of indoor hockey just when that started cathing on in south africa and i know what u mean about one heck of a workout
i’m still curious about the effect on the uni-hockey
is that ‘suffering’ because of the success of floor hockey?
and can u see an improvement in the uni-hockey derived from the floor practise?
and if the lads are in the mood for something different one day, i can heartily recommend a game of Ultimate Frisbee.
talk about a work-out!
