  1. Has anybody done it?
    I'm thinking about going out with my friends and trying this. I haven't
    heard of anybody doing this before, which is strange because people do
    plenty of crazy pointless stuff on unicycles(see: unibaseball).

  5. Before you try uni-paintballing, just go regular paintballing to SEE HOW
    MUCH IT FRICKEN' HURTS!
    I've been several times and yes, it's fun.
    But not when (A) You get shot in the face and end up with a mouthful of
    yellow goo.
    (B) Get shot in the testicles and find yourself doubled over in your
    own personal world of pain for ten minutes.

    If someone does try it though, don't forget to video it. 😄

    their are 2 types of unicyclist. ones who can suck it up and go for
    things and ones who can't. guess which ones become good?

    some people live a hundred years without truly living 1second

    yea that'd be impossible..but the front of the seat would probably be
    enough to protect that area

  11. Paintballing hardly hurts, and riding a unicycle, it'd be almost
    impossible to get shot in the balls.

    Cool idea, though, I wanna try it.

  12. I tried it briefly, it only consisted me and one other person(without a
    uni). I wear a cup for paintballing, and i had a little trouble sitting
    on the uni, so i just stood up. Then i got shot and realized that this
    was more trouble than it was worth. But it looked cool.

    Oh, I had protective gear on.
    Well, a facemask anyway.
    But even with a facemask, the paint still gets through the
    mouth-holes.
    Lovely yellow teeth for the rest of the evening! 😄

    And pump-actions would be more difficult than semi-autos.

    I've played paintball once, and that pretty much describes how I got
    eliminated in my first game. Ball hit the edge of my mask! But it was a
    lot of fun.

    I think the only way for paintball on unicycles to work is if all
    players agree to stay on the unicycles. No shooting allowed if off the
    unicycle. Since much of paintball is hiding, you have to equalize your
    disadvantage, namely being standing up taller than normal. It should
    make for much quicker games!

  18. It seems like most of the reasons that this would be a stupid idea have
    been covered in the previous posts. Being a sitting duck on top of a
    unicycle is contrary to all the strategies of paintball. If you need
    one more thought, think of the fall you are in for if you do get shot in
    the balls and end up curled up on the ground in a heap. Double ouch.

    get some big barriers to hide behind!

  20. in normal paintball youre trying to duck behind and between obstacles to
    protect yourself from others. on a unicycle you cant stop moving, so it
    would be wicked hard.
    but then again, if youre just in some woods with trees all over, it
    could be fun. and the uni would look REALLY cool after. i say do it.
    make a vid.
