  1. Does anyone know what the Modified Mount Rules for the IUF skill levels
    are exactly? They apply from level 5 up, I think. I had it in my head
    that they meant you had to mount into some kind of skill. For example
    mount to wheel walk or mount to hop on wheel. Or do they simply mean
    that you have to do one mount, then another riding skill, then a mount
    etc, rather than doing all of your mounts in a row?

    'The IUF site' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/levels/) doesn't mention
    them at all. Are they on the net somewhere?

  2. My friend said it was level 7, but I think that might jsut be on the USA
    levels. I saw him doing mounts like sidemount once around to wheel walk
    I think that's what he called it. So his leg went round the front twice
    because in a normal sidemount it goes past the front once. So yeah you
    have to do them to some riding skill according to him.

    And how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every
    time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

  3. Hmmm, yes maybe it is just a USA thing. Can anyone confirm this?

  4. This is some text copied directly of USA website. If you want to visit
    if go 'here' (http://www.unicycling.org/usa/levels/)

    10.5 SKILL LEVEL MOUNT GUIDELINES:
    10.5.1 GENERAL:
    For Level 3 and above, riders may not count their dominant and
    non-dominant side as different mounts.
    Each mount the rider uses for a level must be different. Different can
    be defined as a totally different mount, or a considerably harder
    variation on the same mount.
    For Level 7 and above, riders must mount to a skill other than riding or
    a standard idle. An exception may be made if the mount is difficult
    (example: 360 spin side jump mount). While the ending skill may be
    repeated, the mounts all have to be different. Examples: Jump mount to
    one-foot idle, kick up mount to wheel walk, or rolling mount to one-foot
    leg extended.
    If a rider falls while attempting a mount on the first try, the rider
    must use the same mount for the second attempt. If the rider falls
    during the ending skill, the same mount and the same ending skill must
    be used for the second attempt.
    For mounts to be considered valid, the rider must end by sitting on the
    seat with both feet on the pedals and riding a minimum of three
    revolutions. For mounts that end in skills besides riding, the rider
    must do at least three revolutions, idles, or hops in the mounted
    position, and then end by sitting on the seat with both feet on the
    pedals and riding a minimum of three revolutions.
    10.5.2 MOUNT GUIDELINES FOR LEVEL 3 AND ABOVE:
    These mount suggestions are in a rough order of difficulty. They are all
    considered to be different mounts. It is up to the tester to make the
    final decision on any mount not listed below. With unlisted mounts, the
    tester will also need to make the decision whether the mount is a
    variation or a valid mount. Definitions for most of these mounts are in
    the Standard Skill List (section 7).
    Back mount
    Rolling mount
    Side mount (side mount reverse would be considered the same as side
    mount while leg around and leg twice around would be considered
    different mounts)
    Floor mount
    Jump mount (free jump mount and side jump mount would be considered
    different mounts)
    Spin mount (for levels 5 and below the rider should do at least a 180
    degree spin mount and for levels 6 and above it should be 360 degree
    spin mount)
    Frog mount (mounting in the floor mount position but jumping up into a
    jump mount)
    Kick-up mount
    Hopping on wheel mount (rider jumps into hopping on wheel)
    Pick up mount
    Crank idle mount (rider mounts into crank idle)

    Here is a list of mounts i made up for level 10. note they are all to
    something other than riding and idling and they are all noticabley
    different mounts. I'm pretty sure this list would be acceptable.

    Mounts for level 10

    Mount to 1ft idle
    Rolling mount to 1ft extended
    Side mount to seat out back
    Side mount leg around to wheel walk
    Floor mount reverse to seat out front
    Jump mount to seat out front
    Side jump mount to 1ft wheel walk
    Kick up mount to 1ft wheel walk
    Pick up mount to seat out front
    Swing up mount to wheel walk
