  1. Hey, I've just been checking out the high jump results from Unicon12 and
    I have to say that they're less than impressive.

    http://www.unicon12.com/results/IUF12_HighJump.html

    0.73m and you're a world beater? Where was Atkins when all this was
    going on?

    My cousin who's been riding for 2 months could've won the male 11-15
    grade... that's shocking.

  2. If the top 10 riders in each discipline had a sponsor and a travel
    budget it would be more like world championships for bigger sports.
    The gold medal goes to the best person who has the time and money to
    show up.

    IMHO “real” championships are more fun to watch, but conventions are
    more fun to go to.

  3. Daiki Izumida did a standard skill routine with a base score of
    306.1 !!!

    That is 6.8 points from the highest possible score.
    How long before someone hits the maximum?

  4. Quoted message said:

    Yeah but unfortunately he dropped about 34 points or so.

    As for someone getting 312.9 i doubt it will happen. I made the highest
    score on leo's website. The tricks would be really hard to connect. Here
    it is.

    1 48c stand up coast - 8 7.2
    2 169d 720° uni spin 7.0
    3 42c coasting backward, foot in - 8 7.1
    4 41c coasting backward, leg ext - 8 7.0
    5 37c drag seat in front bwd - 8 6.9
    6 39c coasting, leg ext - 8 6.4
    7 40c coasting, foot in - 8 6.4
    8 27d ww bwd 1ft ext - c 6.0
    9 30b gliding bwd foot behind frame - c 5.9
    10 38f side ride, one hand - 8 5.9
    11 167b side ride to sideways ww 5.8
    12 44c sideways ww, 1ft on seat 5.8
    13 162e sideways ww 270° to pedals 6.0
    14 32d one hand ww feet out - c 5.6
    15 171b 360° uni spin to hopping on wheel frh 6.2
    16 47b stand up glide - c 5.9
    17 170d 360° uni spin to ww 1ft 5.8
    18 161f pedals 450° to sideways ww 6.0
    total: 112.9
    Test High Score

    The tricks are all do able, but doing them all in 3 minutes would be
    really hard. The order would be dodgy as well.

  5. With a routine like that the challenge is not connecting the skills but
    having enough time to do them all. Artistic/flowing/pretty transitions
    are not important in standard skill (unless they are one of your listed
    skills). Figure 8 skills take a long time to do and 7 of them in 3
    minutes would be challenging to say the least!

  6. What a [censored] with the high jumps! I could've taken at least top three in
    the expert male (also, I'd be in the 11-15 boys category, where I, for
    the first and last time in my life, could've taken first. 1st place in
    that was only about 16"😉 ! That's not good! I guess a bunch of the
    competitors were doing sidehops.I agree, these scores aren't that good.
    I was expecting some scores in the 80cm range. Also, I was expecting
    Zack in particular to break 70cm. Maybe they all just did sidehops, and
    they got the tire over, but the pedal didn't clear. I think for over a
    bar, rolling hops are the way to go. That way you don't have to deal
    with clearing you pedal. I ought to get sponsored so I can compete in
    things like this. That way I won't just be sitting here on the forum
    being all talk and no walk...

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?
