  1. On the weekend when i went paint balling, 6 other unicyclists came along
    and for the last round we had 7 of us on unicyclists and the other 9 on
    feet as they couldnt ride...

    I dont know about anyone else who did the unicycling paintball but
    shooting and riding was perfectly fine, but the strange thing i found
    that people only tened to aim for our legs... didnt ge thit on ym upper
    body... both roger and myself has some very interesting bruises on our
    legs..

    The unicyclists that did the paintball are, me, Simon McAndrew, Roger,
    Rocket, Barry, Trev and Si Dude

    I dont have any pictures but hopefully roger or Trev will put some
    pictures up!

    Would have been much better if we were all on unicycles as i had to
    dismount several times to run away 😄 But hopefully will try it again
    someone other time, but it must be another thing to the list tried on
    unicycles!

  3. I've always wanted to try that. None of my friends who play PB ride and
    none of my friends that ride play paintball. I'm the only one who does
    both.

    What type of terrain did you play on?
    I'd imagine that you would have to play on a pretty flat area.
    Did you count uni hits as a kill?

  4. We choose the terrain with least amount of logs and [censored] on the floor
    which wasnt to bad, It wasnt really that flat but flat enough.

    Quoted message said:

    I would be happy if they played by normal rules when we did it but there
    wasnt really any rules. Basicly when u ran out paintballs or submitted
    like i did at the end. Roger was shooting everyone grr.

  7. Your right, it did not work to well. Like trev said, the terrain was
    pretty easy, no bushes or anything but if we went into another area it
    would have been absolutly hopeless, not much places you can crouch and
    hide on a unicycle :p Unless someone is willing to do a dive of the
    unicycle :p

    I dont think there was no rules to be honest, the marshals just sat back
    and laughed while the rest of us rode around frantically trying to stop
    getting hit >.< or if you was like me you hide behind a tree 😄

    Your right trev, it did hurt.. but it was only on the last game when it
    really hurt because people just kept firing on you! and they weren't on
    unicycles :p I think if we played proper rules as in, one hit and your
    out, the pain levels would have been dramatically reduced and maybe i
    wouldnt have all these bruises :p

    aust, if you do organised paint ball, do you think there is anyway you
    could pursuade anyone to learn to ride.. maybe u will find someone who
    is up for it :p

  8. It was definately fun. Thanks Leigh for organising it and I suppose we
    should thank Rocket for the daft idea of doing it on unicycles!

    I have tried to post some pictures to the forum.... but failed again!

    When I get home this evening I will put them on a webpage and put a link
    up. Don't have many of us riding... if any. But do have some of the
    group... and the bruises!
