    Does anyone do anything like unicycle jousting? Only I
    thought this could be quite fun, not with anything sharp but
    with something like those giant cotton bud things that you
    see on gladiators. Maybe this is something that already goes
    on at uni meets. Its not that I need any help coming off my
    unicycle, just wondered if this sort of thing went on....

    It is mentioned on www.unicycling.org as things you can do
    on a unicycle.

    Also looks on the galleries on this site. Do a search. There
    are some pics and videos of people jousting.

    Somehow, I think everyone who gets into unicycling has a
    secret ambition to joust. I know it's something I wanted to
    try from day 1, although it's never happened.

    As an older and more responsible unicyclist (hah!) I can see
    the dangers
    - particularly the risk of falling backwards out of control.
    I reckon that in most cases, both unicyclists would be
    unseated by the impact.

    Unicycle hockey (a slightly more martial form of jousting)
    is popular, and is one of the most energetic sports known to
    humanity. Ditto unicycle basket ball, unicycle sumo, and
    various dogfighting games.

    I'm surprised that jousting in some form doesn't happen
    more often.

    Search Google and you will find at least one set of photos.
    I know because I saw them ages ago.

    Sometimes I ride like a demon, sometimes like a lemon. It's an L of a
    difference.
