EMUnicyclists Big Wheel Hockey

joemarshall · 2005-10-31T08:56:34+00:00

In case anyone is interested and isn't on the EMUnicyclists list, this week is Big Wheel Hockey Week at East Midlands Unicyclists. Tuesday (1st November), 8 o'clock, Darley Fields, Derby (UK). http://tinyurl.com/93hwk 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.

Does having 110mm cranks make the wheel bigger? 🙄

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.

Never argue with an idiot; they drag you down to their level and then
beat you with experience.

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 :eek:
See you later 😄

Another fantastic nights hockey with a difference and only a slight pain
in my ankle from a multiple pile up :eek: (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).
Looking forward to seeing some video footage.
