Forrest, I think you said Freestyle when you meant Flatland. Freestyle
is "anything goes" and in competition form includes music, costume,
props and entertainment value.
'Read the rules to learn more' (
http://unicycling.org/iuf/rulebook/).
Though the rulebook doesn't necessarily explain *why* about things,
it's fairly wordy and tells you exactly what each event requires.
In a nutshell, Trials is as Forrest described; the object is to get
across the terrain, or complete the line, in any way possible. In
Street, the idea is to do cool tricks and combinations, using something
other than flat ground to do it on. Freestyle is an actual performance,
intended for an audience, but still requires a lot of technical
unicycling to be successful in competition.
