Cool "Goal Setting" Idea

I just came up with this really neat idea! I’ve got this big corkboard in my extra room, and it was getting to be a big waste of space, so I hung the Unicycling Socioty of America Skill Levels up there and now I can cross off the skills I’ve learned and then when I want to go out and uni, I can look at it and say, “ok, today I want to learn/work on this!”

Heeeey, that’s a pretty good idea! I bet it’ll help you improve quite fast, too.
I once did something like that, I had the levels up on the wall in my garage, so when I went to get my unicycle I would see them and decide what to work on. But I don’t do freestyle very much, so that sort of fell through.

Yeah that is a cool idea.

Can’t quite see…are you almost level 5?

Really good idea!!! I am going to use it!

Yeah, almost level 5! I can do three level 6 skills and two level 7 skills, also.

Haha that is acculy a good idea. 11 years old and almost furthure than me…ouch. What trick are you workin on?

Oh and ur missing one at lvl 4. Cheater Lol…jj

that’s why he said he’s almost level 5…

If you are missing something from level four you’re not “allmost level 5”, then you’re “allmost level 4”, get a grip! :smiley:

Where can you find those skill levels? I have seen them somewhere but I didn’t bother at the time. :frowning:
