  1. NKS= New Kewl System (ok it might need a new name :p)

    i think they should change the level system. it should be replaced with
    my kewl system. instead of having a level you have a rating. every skill
    or trick will have a certain amount of points (if the skill is in level
    5 then it gets 5 points), then you add up all the points from all the
    skills you can do then get a rating.... and the best thing is it doesn't
    matter what order you do things in (example you can wheel walk before
    you can ride backwards)

    EXAMPLE
    if you can:
    free mount (1)
    ride 50m (1)
    ride down 15cm vertical drop (2)
    hop 5 times (3)

    you would have a rating of 7 (if my math is right :p)

    in the NKS (new kewl system) my rating is 75

    what is your NKS rating?

    The one thing i don't like about those skills is it doesn't measure
    you're trials or MUni ability.. it's mostly freestyle

    have Excel to be able to confirm that the file actually works.

    The file does work, thanks John.

    Question to saam (the 'owner' of the NKS):

    Does one have to get in and out of the skill as per the level rules,
    or is just doing the skill in itself sufficient to score?

    Also, I understand that the maximum allowed number of failures per
    level doesn't apply, right? So if you can 'just' do it, you qualify.

  20. I'm
    (the max) - (that dmn bw pirouette) = still not enough

    drewation said:

    *where is the website with it? 😕 *

    try this page on 'unicyclist.org'
    (http://unicyclist.org/cont/levels.cfm), that I've just modified.

    I've tried it in all browsers that I'd have, the javascript seem to work
    in all of them.
    And even without javascript enabled your score will be calculated.

    Now I need to write some clear explanation, to make things crystal clear
    how the method works.

    Further -here comes my personal opinion- I thing the difference between
    "riding 50 m" (1) and "riding bw for 10 m" (4) is way bigger than "walk
    the wheel one footed with left foot in a circle" (10) and "walk the
    wheel one footed with left foot in a circle" (10). And so making the sum
    pretty useless, if you want to use it to compare one rider with
    another
    I think the levels never should be used in a competive way. They were
    not ment for that, but to stimulate the individual level of riders. And
    so I opt for the rNKS method: each level 1 skill 10 pts, each level 10
    trick 1.

    -damn1t, i could have spend that time on the seat in stead of behind the
    keyboard and screen, a well it was fun anyway.-
