On the weekend when i went paint balling, 6 other unicyclists came along and for the last round we had 7 of us on unicyclists and the other 9 on feet as they couldnt ride…
I dont know about anyone else who did the unicycling paintball but shooting and riding was perfectly fine, but the strange thing i found that people only tened to aim for our legs… didnt ge thit on ym upper body… both roger and myself has some very interesting bruises on our legs…
The unicyclists that did the paintball are, me, Simon McAndrew, Roger, Rocket, Barry, Trev and Si Dude
I dont have any pictures but hopefully roger or Trev will put some pictures up!
Would have been much better if we were all on unicycles as i had to dismount several times to run away But hopefully will try it again someone other time, but it must be another thing to the list tried on unicycles!
sorry i never got any pictures of the paintball but i did get one of you sleeping :P, I dont like getting hurt so im not going to try that again sorry. Was a good day though.
We choose the terrain with least amount of logs and crap on the floor which wasnt to bad, It wasnt really that flat but flat enough.
I would be happy if they played by normal rules when we did it but there wasnt really any rules. Basicly when u ran out paintballs or submitted like i did at the end. Roger was shooting everyone grr.
paintball is awesome, never tried it on a uni, but im on a organized paintball tournemant playin paintball team and honestly from my experiance, i dont think it would work to good though
Your right, it did not work to well. Like trev said, the terrain was pretty easy, no bushes or anything but if we went into another area it would have been absolutly hopeless, not much places you can crouch and hide on a unicycle Unless someone is willing to do a dive of the unicycle
I dont think there was no rules to be honest, the marshals just sat back and laughed while the rest of us rode around frantically trying to stop getting hit >.< or if you was like me you hide behind a tree
Your right trev, it did hurt… but it was only on the last game when it really hurt because people just kept firing on you! and they weren’t on unicycles I think if we played proper rules as in, one hit and your out, the pain levels would have been dramatically reduced and maybe i wouldnt have all these bruises
aust, if you do organised paint ball, do you think there is anyway you could pursuade anyone to learn to ride… maybe u will find someone who is up for it
It was definately fun. Thanks Leigh for organising it and I suppose we should thank Rocket for the daft idea of doing it on unicycles!
I have tried to post some pictures to the forum… but failed again!
When I get home this evening I will put them on a webpage and put a link up. Don’t have many of us riding… if any. But do have some of the group… and the bruises!
But hopefully will try it again someone other time, but it must be another thing to the list tried on unicycles!
Unless someone is willing to do a dive of the unicycle
