First off, this site is great. While I was looking around the forums I thought of an intresting idea. What if users proposed different challenges to the rest of the unicycling community. These challenges would be to perform a certain unicycling skill, for instance, ride backwards X amount of feet without falling. The first person to perform this task (with video proof) would be honored in some sort of way, until another challenge had been performed.
That's kinda nice, except it fazvors the people who ride with people who do filming, and also most of the challenges will be met by the top 2% of the riders here in notime. For example, in order to have any real trials challenge, you'd have to have some simple goal like "pedalgrab 125cm". As far as I know the world record is 116cm, by Ryan Atkins, so this would be a realistic challenge. But, this would probably be an unmet goal for a very long time, and it would favor the *very* elite riders on this site who both have videocameras, and can already jump over 1m. So basically, nice idea, but it probably won't work.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gerblefranklin's Profile: unicyclist.com4295Open ↗ View this thread: unicyclist.com30687Open ↗
