Default unicycle games


The title of your thread gave me an idea: unicycle games. Some have been
invented already, like hockey and tag and stuff, but recently my uni
friends and I have invented unicycle polo with croquet mallets, and it
is soo cool. We rarely actually play polo, but we like to hit it to each
other as many times as we can without it rolling down either hill to the
side of the street.
Something I've always wanted to try was unicycle capture the flag.

I was wondering if we could set up a game apparented to Afghan's
"Bozkachi" or France's "Soule" :
imagine something like a soft bag with plenty of handles
you can throw it but not very far
the game is to grab the "dead goat" from adversaries's hand
and bring it back to your camp
the fun in the (rough) game is that you do not play it on flat ground
but through rough terrain with hills, streams and so on!

"Munizkachi"?

Sumo.

Can be played on flat or rough ground, but non-pinned pedals are a plus!

hey I thought of a game..... has any one played?.
It's a deadly game played by snowmobiles(snow-machines)

High-marking: An activity specific to snowmobiling, where snomobiles
attempt to ride as far as possible up a steep slope, then turn and come
down without rolling or stalling on the hill.

Snow-machines make a visible ''horseshoe'' tracks. It might be harder
to spot the marks on unicycle but without avalanches it's less deadly.

1. Need a steep hill.
a)too steep to make it to the top.
b)any terrain-- off road or on.
2. bigger the wheel the better.
a)Though any size would work, I think a 36'' or bigger would be the
most fun.

What about "Horse"?
Horse is about consistency in tricks.
Let's say that four guys named A, B C, and Obi-Wan played it.
A will start by doing a trick, and then B does the same trick, then C
and then Obi-Wan. If A doesn't land the trick, then it's B that can
choose the trick. But if A makes it, and B, C or Obi-Wan doesn't land
it, then they will get one of the letters in horse. When someone has got
all the letters, then they're out of the game. Lost. If A lands a trick,
and everybody else lands it too, then it's Bs turn to choose the trick,
and so on.
Did i forget anything?
I'm not sure if this is a good idea for a festival, but there's also
the chance that someone else will read this and try it out. I thinks
it's a great game

I might have played once. I had to look up the rules because I didn't
remember. This looks like a good one.



How to Play Capture the Flag

By eHow Hobbies, Games & Toys Editor

Capture the Flag is played outdoors with two teams. It's best with
teams of three or more players and can be played almost anytime,
anywhere.


Things You’ll Need:
unicycles
Camoflage Clothing
unicycle Or Tennis Shoes
2 old, brightly colored T-shirts
helmets and shin guards optional

Setup
Step 1
Divide into two teams of three or more people.
Step 2
Divide territories for the teams. Streets, trails, creeks and fence
lines all make good border markers.
Step 3
Agree on two items to serve as "flags." They should be brightly colored
and a foot or two across.
Step 4
Decide what happens when captured. Either choose to make players "out"
for the rest of the game, converted to the team that caught them, or put
in a "jail" to be rescued by their teammates.

The Game
Step 1
Retreat by team into your territory to hide the flag. The flag must be
hung at head height and be visible from 20 yards away on at least one
side.
Step 2
Split into attacker and defender groups within your team. Attackers and
defenders can switch jobs as needed.
Step 3
Attempt to sneak across the border, find and capture the enemy flag,
and then race back without being caught if you are an attacker.
Step 4
Hide around your flag or along the border and try to intercept and
catch any opposing players who sneak across if you are a defender.
Step 5
Capture enemy players by tagging them while they are on your side of
the border.
Step 6
Win by capturing the enemy flag and carrying it back to your side of
the border.

Jail
Step 1
Put captured enemy players in "jail" by picking an area with a clearly
defined border to serve as the jail.
Step 2
Rescue teammates by sneaking across the border, finding the jail,
tagging your teammate, then racing back across the border.
Step 3
Recapture players by tagging them again before they reach the border
