Hey all, I have a friend who is realy short (4 foot 7 inches) and rides a 16 inch. He realy likes trials, but the U-levels used to rate trials courses are based on someone more average size, so I scaled down the levels to fit a 16 inch wheel, instead of a 20 inch.
I thought I would post it here just incase anyone else was looking for somthing similar. So here it is—

This is all I got:
International Unicycle Trials Levels Scaled To A 16 Inch Unicycle
???
It is supposed to have a chart. I wrote it in a different program, but for some reason the cart didnt show up when I transfered it. It was basicaly the U-system with everything multiplyed by .8 and then rounded to the nerest inch (or 1/4 of a foot for gaps and drops over 2 feet) sorry about that, I still can’t seem to get it to work. I guess I will just write it out.

When I first read the title of this thread, I thought you were referring to Leona Helmsley, the “Queen of Mean”, an obnoxious rich person who is notorious for saying that only the “little people” pay taxes.
