First Ever Game Of Uni!!!!

Hey,

I had an idea last night to try to start the first ever flatland street
trick game of UNI. If you're not aware of UNI here are the rules, or
something like them.
RULES:
Basically the game is like pig in basketball. A person does a trick (A
trick being one move that could be busted down a set. Unispins, flips,
spins, a mix, moves like that done switchand, goofy, fakie, blind,
normal, or any of the sort for challenge) if successful the following
person has two tries (It's usually one, but this makes the game last
longer) to hit the trick or else one letter in correspondence to
position is given. U-N-I. Until the “I”, then after the two misses, the
person can choose a third try to hit the trick, or a “prove it” putting
the rider that hit the trick on the spot to hit the trick again with one
try, to eliminate the rider that called “prove it”.
ORDER:
The Order is a bit confusing. The trick list goes A-B B-C C-D and so
on. Meaning that If person (a) hit a trick, person (b) has two tries, if
they hit it, or miss it both tries, they get to do their own trick
afterwards for person (c) in the order of people playing,(Unless person
(b) has to call "prove it", and the person hits it, or 3rd try, and
fails completely, then they're out, going on to person (c) for a clean
trick choice) so no trick carries on more than one person. Note: No
trick can be done by the same person twice, but a trick can be repeated
by another rider.

The game would be brought together one of the days in Toque where the
most street riders were present. Depending on the amount of people we
have, we could set up divisions. But that's all pending on how many
riders there are, and age differences.

E-mail me if you're interested, or want more information. This is just
in the starting plans. I could use any help I could get as well. Maybe
this could be a yearly thing at Toque. An actually street comp. where
all we need is flat ground and a little room.

No, its not the first. There have been games (like at Moab) like folow
the leader, wich is like completing a muni section and others have to do
it, etc. Except it wasnt very 'official'.

The idea of playing pig or horse on a uni with trials lines has been
done, but not very much and not organized in a street setting.

I believe this would be the first ever game with it actually being on
the extreme street side of things. I hope it goes through, and a lot of
the street riders want to get involved, and also everyone practices more
to learn a few more tricks. I want to start a boom in the street skills
division.

If played on flat ground, it can be thought of as a Freestyle game as
well. It sounds like fun, as long as you don't have too many players! I
guess if you do, you break down into smaller groups based on ability
level.

Yeah, you could do whatever you'd like. lol. Around here skaters always
play flatland skate. And there aren't enough unicylist around here (not
even close, there are just two) that could play a flatland street trick
game. So I thought try and organize one at Toque, since there isn't any
real street thing (long jump high jump, blah blah maybe). So yeah, it's
be fun I think. Laters

Yeah, it's a good idea. The only problem occurs when some players can
do obscure skills that most others have never even tried before.

I used to cheat like this when playing S-K-A-T-E, when i used to
skateboard. I could do all sorts of 360 spins and varials in the nollie
position that i couldn't do in the regular, or fakie position. Maybe i
skated with the wrong foot forward, who knows, but i'd always win
competitions by doing stuff like that. It gets even worse when people
start doing pointless/weird tricks that they invented, like some of the
flatland and old-school Rodney Mullen stuff. Then it just becomes a
competition of *who has practiced the most obsure tricks the day before
the competition*.

Maybe if skills/tricks became too obscure, there could be a rule that
restricted them from being used in a U-N-I competition. Who knows? It
would be fun, either way, though.

You're right, but that's why I stated it has to be able to be done down
a set. Not saying a big set. But interesting foot unispins couldn't be
used cause they couldn't be done down sets. But a 360 unispin could be
used and along those lines. It's the tricks wehre there are actually two
tricks in the combo that can't be used.
