Levels

I am just new to unicycling. Got a used uni in January and am still learning to
ride. I can get on pretty good and ride about as far as I want. I can also do
figure eights in my driveway.

I am a juggler and would like to be able to juggle while I ride. I can only go
about 10 feet while juggling so far. Any tips on this? I can’t seem to keep the
uni going straight while juggling.

What is this talk about different skill levels? Is there some sort of skill
ranking system? Can anybody send me a description of what the skill levels are?

Have you tried idling whilst trying to juggle?

Mark,

As you may have read, up to about level 5, unicyclists are basically trusted to
test themselves.

Once a month, I organise a group of Sydney unicyclists to have a “special
event” (charity rides, unicycle hockey exhibition matches, etc. etc.). A
level-testing session (only up to around that level) is planned, some time when
we have a free month.

I am still looking (not very diligently, I must admit) for a 10 cm x 10cm beam
for the tests. It is not a standard size for wood.

Anyone else in or around Sydney, who wants to be added to an “e-mail newsletter”
which will included details of this event when it occurs, please email me.

What does “ride over a 10*10cm obstacle” acutually mean? I assume you’re not
allowed to hop over it, but have to ride straight at it and over it like a kerb.
Is this correct? I’d check the faq, but it’s a ftp site note http.
