Skill levels
I'm building a Finnish unicycling web site and I was translating the IUF levels when I was facing some problems. Even I do know the words and I THINK how to do these I'm not 100% sure how to perform these. Could you please explain these to me. Thanks Jari -180 uni spin -Sideways wheel walk for 10 m -Coast for 10 m -Side ride for 10 m -- jari.saari ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jari.saari's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6702 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/32736 |

Skill levels
Riders must get into and out of all skills: All riding skills start with the rider riding forward, seated with both feet on the pedals *except for side ride (level 10).* All skills end with rider riding forward at least 3 full revolutions of the wheel, seated with both feet on the pedals. 'IUF Skill levels' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/levels/) You don't have to start with the standard 3 revs on the side ride. -- oregonguy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oregonguy's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6269 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/32736 |

The USA version says that you have to transition into and out of the side ride, while the IUF version says that you do not. I'm not sure if the IUF version has been updated to make that requirement for the side ride or not. At the time that the skill levels were made they didn't think it was possible to transition into and out of the side ride, but now they know better. There is a description of the USA skill level rules he http://tinyurl.com/252k The skill level rules start on page 43. And an HTML version 'here' (http://www.unicycling.org/usa/levels/) Here's the quote from the USA version of the skill levels: All skills (except mounts) must begin and end with the rider sitting on the seat, feet on the pedals and riding in control for at least three revolutions (including Level 5 hopping on wheel and Level 10 Side Ride). -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (at) hotmail (dot) com Gallery: '' (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/john_childs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/32736 |

I believe for both USA and IUF you need to get in and out of all skills. I am not sure 100%. -Ryan -- smiley-ryan - The World Champ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smiley-ryan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/727 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/32736 |

That is, it doesn't need to be one single manoeuvre that gets you from normal riding position to whatever you want to do.
