It's some sort of a rating system so you can know how good you are at flatland style skills. Some people like the skill levels so that they have something specific to aim for when they're practicing and other people aren't interested in them at all. There's about 7 or 8 "official" level 10 people in the world today.
According to a poll in this forum not too long ago, more people here are on level 4 than the rest.
As you can imagine, high level riders are few and far between.
