  1. I'm working on some colour coded cards describing each of the skill
    levels and decided to base it on the skill level chevron patches put out
    by the USA.

    Can anyone tell me what colour the level patches are for levels 8, 9 and
    10?

    I know levels 1 to 7 are the following colours:
    1 red
    2 white
    3 blue
    4 yellow
    5 orange
    6 green
    7 silver

  2. Peter,

    8 - Purple
    9 - Brown
    10 - Black (we think - we will verify tonight)

    We also have a Rider level with a green patch.

  3. Thanks Tom,

    Those colours ring a 4 year old bell. I remember brown and black being
    in there somewhere so level 10 must be black.

  4. these wouldnt happen to bear any similarity to the color progression of
    the belts in martial arts would they? it seems it. also, if you guys
    could give me an address where i can send videos of my skill level
    progression, that would be great. thanks guys.

  5. The current USA level system uses these patch colors:
    1. red
    2. white
    3. blue
    4. yellow
    5. orange
    6. teal (blue-green)
    7. silver
    8. purple
    9. brown
    10. black

    The new USA Skills System uses these colors for the Tier I Rider Base
    skills:
    1. yellow
    2. orange
    3. red
    4. green
    5. blue
    6. violet

    The color scheme for the other new skill sets hasn't been worked out
    yet.

    In all our research, we weren't able to find any standard anywhere for a
    color progression. The new one is close to the color spectrum, but
    doesn't follow exactly. It goes from lighter colors to darker, to
    suggest getting stronger with the skills.

    Also, in the new system, riders can skip sets in Tier I if they want,
    but must test for Base 6, Violet, in order to move on to the next tier.
    In Tier II, they can decide which skills to focus on, such as Artistic,
    Technical, Juggling, UW, and others.

    We're field testing them now. Please send me an e-mail if you want to
    help with any of this: unicyclecentral at hotmail dot com.

    Thanks!
