  1. Hey freestyle people of the world, I need your help. I'm developing,
    what I hope to be, a very entertaining bored game for wunschkonzert. It
    mixes the fun of a board game with consistency in unicycling. Now i'm
    trying to really develope it well for freestylists, since the street
    side of it is pretty easy to handle. However, like I said, I need your
    help. Durning the game a rider will pick a certain level, each level
    has three groups of tricks under different difficulties. I need to be
    told if this is ok, or do I need to switch some stuff around. Or add
    tricks, any ideas would be awesome. I'm starting it off at the
    difficulty it is now, i'm not adding anything easier.

    Freestyle:
    Beginner:
    Wheel Walk, One foot, Opposite 1F, Backwards, 1F WW, Backwards Seat in
    Front

    Easy:
    Opposite 1F WW, Koosh Koosh, Backwards 1F, Seat Push, Gliding, *180
    Unispin

    Medium:
    Seat Drag, Opposite Backwards 1F, Coast, 1F Seat in Front, Backwards
    WW, Standup WW

    Hard:
    1F Coast, *Sideways WW, Opposite 1F Seat in Front, *360 Unispin, *Side
    Ride, Backwards Seat in Front 1F.

    Pro:
    Backwards Seat Drag, *1F Sideways WW, *Smiley Walk, *Daike WW, *540
    unispin, Stand up Glide

    *Mustn’t start or end on the uni riding standard, however for street
    must be at least riding comfortably however one ends up (Seat
    backwards, seat in front).

    Thanks for your time.

  2. Ok... were shall i start?
    -first of all i'd change 1 ft. ww to easy
    -I would take out most of the tricks with the opposite foot since that
    is rarely done in freestyle
    -coast and 1 ft coast shouldnt be in seperate categories, some prefer
    one way, some prefer the other, i think it should just be under coast
    and in hard (that is if the distance is greater than 5 meters)
    -What is bwds ww doing in the medium section? I can do everything in
    pro more or less consistently but bwds ww I still have trouble with,
    rarely going over 5 meters. bwds ww should be in either hard or pro.
    -side ride should probably go pro(i cant do much of that either)
    -I'm not sure sideways ww and sideways ww one footed should be
    seperated either. Some do say that one footed sideways ww is easier.
    Those should most likely be pro.
    -hand wheel walk may be a good addition (pro)
    -what exactly is unispin being starred for? i may have misunderstood
    but it seems as if the rider only needs to spin the unicycle without
    even having to get on, i can do an 1800 uni spin that way:p

    Thats all I could think of. Hope i was helpful.

  4. The stars mean that you mustn't start and end riding forward, it only
    needs to be mounted and the trick be completed. I'm keeping the
    opposites in there since it's a good test of skills to see if the
    people learned both ways. I added hand wheel walk, thanks bro great
    idea. Also I think it's cut to about 3m for the freestyle section (
    about 2-3 rotations). Thanks for the spelling correction Spencer, haha.
    My mistake. Some things don't seem that right, but freestyle is a lot
    harder to do, since there aren't as many tricks.

    Beginner:
    Wheel Walk, One foot, Opposite 1F, Backwards, Backwards Seat in Front,
    Backwards Seat in Back

    Easy:
    Opposite 1F WW, Backwards 1F, Seat Push, Gliding, *180 Unispin, 1F WW

    Medium:
    Seat Drag, Opposite Backwards 1F, Coast, 1F Seat in Front, Standup WW,
    Any style backwards wheel walking

    Hard:
    1F Coast, *Sideways WW, Opposite 1F Seat in Front, *360 Unispin, *Side
    Ride, Backwards Seat in Front 1F

    Pro:
    Backwards Seat Drag, *1F Sideways WW, hand wheel walk, *Daike WW, *540
    unispin, Stand up Glide

    I tried to design it so I could play in the simpliest verson of the
    freestyle game.

  5. Shaun,

    You're missing a few skills... I've listed the line skills from the new
    IUF Standard Skill list just to give you a few more ideas. Some are
    just simple variations ("seat in front, against body" versus "seat in
    front" - which means not touching).

    BTW if you keep your current list, I'd put koosh-koosh in the 'Easy'
    section and other backward ww in the Medium section. Koosh-koosh is not
    that difficult, but bwd ww or split bwd ww is more difficult. And there
    are even more variations of bwd ww if you use one foot instead of two.

    If you want the list of other types of skills - all considered non
    riding skills and divided into 5 different sections, let me know.

    The line skills (sorted by skill number):
    1 a riding
    3 a riding bwd
    4 a seat in front, seat against body
    4 b seat in front
    4 e seat in front frh, seat against body
    4 f seat in front frh
    5 a seat in front bwd, seat against body
    5 b seat in front bwd
    5 e seat in front bwd frh, seat against body
    5 f seat in front bwd frh
    6 a seat in back, seat against body
    6 b seat in back
    7 a seat in back bwd, seat against body
    7 b seat in back bwd
    8 a seat on side, seat against body
    8 c seat on side
    9 a seat on side bwd, seat against body
    9 b seat on side bwd
    10 a stomach on seat, 1 hand on seat
