we played Unicycle Horse at our unicycle practice last night . Horse is a basketball game where 2 or more players try to duplicate basketball shots. First the order of play is established. The first player takes a shot, if the shot is successful then the next person must duplicate that shot exactly and so on until someone misses. When someone misses a shot he/she is given a letter as a penalty (the first being H, the next failure an O, and so on until the word Horse is spelled). After a miss the next player in line can take a different shot. If everyone makes the shot the first person takes a different shot. When any player misses 5 times - has HORSE- they are eliminated from the game. The winner is the last person still playing without getting HORSE.
We played Unicycle HORSE the same way but did unicycle skills instead of taking basketball shots. We started off with fairly simple skills to give the newer riders a chance to get through a couple rounds without getting letters, but then moved on to more difficult skills. The game ended with Jess Riegel and Zack Baldwin (the last two riders still in) matching one another's trials skills.
The game was simple, fun, and I hope it will give the riders incentive to develop new skills.

That's cute; in Chicago we used a completely different five letter word. Same concept, though.
Yes, We used to play a game like that too, only we used a non-pronounceable word, like a generated password as PS8GZXWA -just to make it more difficult. -And aside from getting the letter, you had to drink a shot, or take off some clothing... Now that I think about it, our game was nothing like horse, but probably just as fun. Can you get pregnant playing horse? Jer
We used to play the basketball type of horse, only we called it black cow. Since I was the youngest sometimes I got to spell black and white cow, hehe. Skaters play a game called " skate" same concept, but with skating, I think playing " uni" or some other such word would be a cool game.
