*i dont get how these levels work. is there a web page where i can see
all the levels and what i have to do to get them? *

If you had done a Google search for -unicycle levels-, the first thing
listed would have been...

'IUF Achievement Skill Levels' (http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/levels/)

There's official levels up to 10, in JC they were made unofficialy up to
15, just as a thought.

Sorry to confuse you with my post over there. My idea was for everyone
to post their ideas for the hypothetical levels 11-15. The actual skill
levels only go to ten.

In the USA's new skill system, the levels go beyond 10.

But it's a slightly different approach.

There are 3 tiers -- Tier I Rider, Tier II, Intermediate/Advanced, and
Tier III Expert.

The Rider tier has just one division with 6 sets of skills called Bases.
The Bases focus on beginning skills: ride, turn, freemount, idle, hop.

Once you pass those, you can move on to Tier II with several new
divisions, such as Artistic, Technical, Ultimate Wheel, Tall, and
Juggling. Each division will have about 6 to 8 sets of skills called
Classes. So, you could become a Class 2 Artistic and a Class 4
Technical and a Class 5 Tall.

Once you conquer any of those, you can move on to Tier III, Expert.
Right now, we're working on the Artistic Expert and Technical Expert
divisions, but we hope to develop others soon.

It's an expandable system. We can add more skill sets as riders want
them.

We're field testing the Rider Tier and the Artistic division (in Tier
II) now. If anyone would like to field test them, please let me know.
We haven't posted them anywhere yet since they aren't final.

Also, we've done a ton of work on Technical, but it's a very difficult
category to develop. If you'd like to help, let me know.

E-mail: unicyclecentral at hotmail dot com

The new system is working well so far. It's better for beginners and
there are lots of new things to work on for the advanced and expert
riders, in many different styles of riding.

Also, we're developing a comprehensive Unicycling Handbook that will
provide all the rules and offer lots of help for developing skills.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Question for Carol:
What's the difference between Artistic and Technical? Our general
definition of artistic covers both freestyle and standard skill, and
basically applies to any form of doing tricks.

And yes, I would like to see what you've got so far. I don't know who
all is working on your project, but if it is contained only within TCUC,
there may be a tendency for it to be based too much on a single club's
view of the world.

Thank you, sounds like you guys are coming up with something much more
useful to the unicyclists out there!

Hi, John.

The new Artistic division focuses on one-footing, backwards, wheel
walking, freemounts, and other skills. This division is similar to the
existing levels, from about 3 to 7.

The new Technical division focuses on hops, drops, gaps, riding narrow
surfaces, and other skills.

The riders who have contributed to the development of this system are
from all over the world. We've been working on it for over two years
now, and I think it has terrific potential. We hope it will help to make
unicycling a more solid sport and that it will encourage riders to
improve their skills and branch out to try several kinds of riding.

The list of committee members is posted on the USA web site.

Also, if anyone is interested, I can send a FAQ that provides some basic
information. Just send me your e-mail address. It's about 6 pages long.
I gave out several of them at NAUCC, but I'm not sure who received
copies.

A copy of the FAQ would be great. I don't think I got one last summer.

I don't want to sound presumptive as I haven't been part of the group
doing all the work, but I will put in that the artistic/technical terms
may be confusing to others. Any form of hard trick is technical, and
surely some of the stuff in the technical area can be considered
artistic.

Using the terminology here, the artistic side sounds fine, but the other
side might benefit from being called Trials, Street, or even Obstacle
skills. I prefer either trials or obstacle. Obstacle might not fit if
some of the skills don't require obstacles. That's why street might
work, but street is also a pretty generic word, and the unicycling
community don't all know what it is yet.

I'm looking forward to when your group "goes public" with something,
hopefully in the coming year!
