  1. I'm starting to put a routine together, but I think the rule
    book is a little unclear on a few points.

    1) Do I have to get in and out of a skill? (ride -> hop on
    wheel -> ride or just step up and hop on the wheel ?)

    2) Do the transitions between skills count? Is ride->hop
    on wheel->ride 1 or 3 (4 if you count riding)
    separate skills ?

    No, you do not have to ride in and out of the skills.
    However, you can list the transitions as separate skills.
    There is a whole section in the list of skills that are
    transitions.

  3. Hi,

    I also have a question concerning this....

    Do I understand you right? So it is possible to go directly
    from hopping seat out in front to crank idle and from there
    to side hopping?

  4. 1. No. But if you use a dismount between skills, make sure
    it looks nice and deliberate. If not, you could get a big
    ding for a UPD.

    2. Only if you list them as skills on your sheet. In other
    words, many transitions are skills worth points, but if
    you want to include other things worth more, you don't
    have to list them and then they are not judged as such.

    Yes. Unlike the skill levels, you do not have to ride
    "normal" between skills. This does not necessarily apply to
    mounts and transitions. For mounts, you must ride 1 rotation
    of the wheel in the end position, whatever the mount says
    that is. For transitions, you have to do at least 1 rotation
    in the "before" and "after" positions for the skill to get
    full score. Make sure you allow for those spaces. See the
    front part of the Standard Skills List for the full details:
