Make sure you're looking at the 2006 rulebook.
Use the "stick" method (strict judging) if you're trying to be
accurate. Remember you need at least one person on the ground to
monitor whether the sticks moved. Video if you think you have a
record.
For practicing, all you need is a line on the ground, and at least one
person to note your takeoffs and landings. But the sticks are still a
lot more accurate.
thank you, i mostly just want the thing so that i know exactly my
limit, and if its better than the record then it is, but if its not,
thats fine as well.
hmmmm, the sticks in the record look bigger than 1cm... w/e it only
makes it harder...
so here is what it says if anyone else wants to know, thank you
johnfoss
if I put strings on the sides of it, i should be able to tell the
distance much better
2.30 LONG JUMP
This event is similar to the track and field version, where the rider
jumps as far as possible from a start line, to a landing
without a dismount. The rider must then continue riding across a finish
line to show control. Riders jump from a line
marked on the ground, and one or more observers mark their point of
landing. Riders must ride at least 3 meters before
jumping, and may ride any additional distance to gather speed. Riders
may jump with the wheel going forward or sideways.
After landing, the rider must stay in control of the unicycle for the
remainder of a five-meter distance from the start line
without dismounting, or touching a hand to the ground or any other
object. If the tire touches the jump line before takeoff, it
counts as a foul. Riders may break off in a run up to the line, but if
they jump, the attempt counts, including fouls. If riders
break off, they must start again from before the Start line. Riders get
two attempts. The farthest non-fouling, successful
jump is recorded.
2.30.1 UNICYCLES:
Same as for High Jump. NOTE: In addition to the required safety gear
for racing, helmets are required.
2.30.2 SETUP:
The riding area consists of a start line, behind which riders must
start their attempt, a jump line, and a finish line approximately
3 meters beyond the riders' landing point. Riders must ride or hop
across the finish line for the attempt to count.
Successfully crossing the finish line is judged the same as in racing
(see Section 2.6). A minimum of 10 meters must be
allowed before the start line for riders to accelerate.
2.30.3 BASIC JUDGING:
Long Jump judges must be trained, and practice before judging actual
competitors. The basic method is to use two judges;
one on each side of the rider's path. A single judge is acceptable for
smaller competitions. A third judge is recommended
for watching the takeoff line. Judges must watch for the exact landing
point of the tire. Measurement is taken from the
rearmost point of the tire's initial contact with the ground. If the
two judges disagree on the landing point, measurement is
made from the one closest to the start line.
2.30.4 STRICT JUDGING:
For large competitions, close competitions or for setting new records,
a more objective measuring system can be used. This
involves takeoff and landing markers to confirm the rider has cleared
the measured distance. The markers should be simiar
in shape to a meter stick, and be at least one meter in width (across
the runway), no more than 1 centimeter in height (above
the runway), and no less than 3 centimeters in depth (front to back).
All other rules remain the same, but the rider must
clear both markers without touching them for the event to count. Jump
distance is measured between the outer edges of the
two markers.
2.30.5 STRICT FINALS:
If basic judging is used in a large competition, a final round can be
held using the strict method to make a clear determination
of the winners. The riders posting the top five distances in the
preliminary round move on to the final, and do incremental
jumps of the two markers until they make two unsuccessful attempts at
the same distance. The distance of their
longest previous jump is recorded and the furthest of those is the
winner.
