trials skill levels

I would guess I'm probably at about U3. My hop height is holding me back
from U4 though, and considering I can't pedal grap, especially not at
75cm. But I'm working on seat out so should be able to do higher hops
soon.

But I'm more into street, so of course while I'll be doing some of this
stuff when I go for a ride, but not as much as if I was fully into
trials.

The last one is U7+, so you'd fall into that category.

There's nowhere good around my place to practice real competition-style
Trials, so I'm about U3.
I can do a pedal grab, but not very well yet. I can't land the pedal on
something and keep my balance. The crank nubs don't help, as they rub
against the object.
And I can gap about 1.5 meters, but not requiring accuracy at all.
Requiring accuracy, I can do maybe half a meter.

Are there any unicycle trials competitions involving natural trials
lines (at Unicons, etc.)? I've been involved in a few bike trials comps
recently on my uni and, I guess maybe due to being in inland-ish
Australia (?), they've all had some really great natural sections. I
haven't seen any photos from unicycle conventions, etc with natural
lines. That's something that these skill levels don't cover. Of course
there's really no way that they could cover natural trials and I think
these rules, etc are great.

That's actually why I love natural trials so much - choice of lines
becomes so important and there are so many odd angles involved...lots of
fun! 🙂

I think I'm a U3, but the examples that Kris Holm gives in his trials
rules are really confusing. The rules say that to be a U3 you must be
able to hop 30cm (12 inches), but in the examples of U3 level lines it
says that you must be able to hop up a picnic table via the seats.
Usually the seats on a picnic table are at least 18 inchs (45cm) high.
Does anyone know how high you really need to hop to be a U3?

Guess you could crank grab. But some picnic tables are lower than others
I guess?

The seats of picnic tables around here can't be more than a foot.
But that's not very accurate, because not all picnic tables are the
same. Not all cars are, either, so that one is also confusing.

I average U5, and on a really good day U6. Mostly it's the size of my
hop. I can only do about 78cm on a really good day, and I max my
pedalgrabs at 1m, so I don't expect to reach U7 anytime soon. I can do
some U7, and a few moves in U8. I don't think the 90cm pedalgrab on the
10cm pole should be U8. At most U7. I also don't think multiple round
rail gaps is neccessarily U8 material, although in some cases it should
be U9. Also, I don't think a 75cm pedalgrab onto a fence and then over
to ground should be U6. I'd think more of a U5 or mabey even U4.

Picnic tables can vary greatly in height. Most by my house are around
32" with 18-20" seats, while some in Golden Gate Park have 26" table
heights and 10" seats. A wide variety, clearly.

It seems pretty obvious to me that in U3 it is implying that you should
be able to jump onto a picnic table... that has 30cm high seats etc.

The jumping up to the car roof thing is just a rough example too, all
the things in the right column are just rough examples of the rules that
are in the left column.
