  1. I just came up with this really neat idea! I've got this big corkboard
    in my extra room, and it was getting to be a big waste of space, so I
    hung the Unicycling Socioty of America Skill Levels up there and now I
    can cross off the skills I've learned and then when I want to go out and
    uni, I can look at it and say, "ok, today I want to learn/work on this!"

    If you can wheelwalk a giraffe backwards off a 10 foot jump while
    balancing a Coker on your nose...I'll give you a nickel.

  2. Heeeey, that's a pretty good idea! I bet it'll help you improve quite
    fast, too.
    I once did something like that, I had the levels up on the wall in my
    garage, so when I went to get my unicycle I would see them and decide
    what to work on. But I don't do freestyle very much, so that sort of
    fell through.

  10. If you are missing something from level four you're not "allmost level
    5", then you're "allmost level 4", get a grip! 😄
