Hey, I’ve just been checking out the high jump results from Unicon12 and I have to say that they’re less than impressive.
0.73m and you’re a world beater? Where was Atkins when all this was going on?
My cousin who’s been riding for 2 months could’ve won the male 11-15 grade… that’s shocking.

If the top 10 riders in each discipline had a sponsor and a travel budget it would be more like world championships for bigger sports.
The gold medal goes to the best person who has the time and money to show up.
IMHO “real” championships are more fun to watch, but conventions are more fun to go to.
Daiki Izumida did a standard skill routine with a base score of
306.1 !!!
That is 6.8 points from the highest possible score.
How long before someone hits the maximum?
Yeah but unfortunately he dropped about 34 points or so.
As for someone getting 312.9 i doubt it will happen. I made the highest score on leo’s website. The tricks would be really hard to connect. Here it is.
1 48c stand up coast - 8 7.2
2 169d 720° uni spin 7.0
3 42c coasting backward, foot in - 8 7.1
4 41c coasting backward, leg ext - 8 7.0
5 37c drag seat in front bwd - 8 6.9
6 39c coasting, leg ext - 8 6.4
7 40c coasting, foot in - 8 6.4
8 27d ww bwd 1ft ext - c 6.0
9 30b gliding bwd foot behind frame - c 5.9

18 161f pedals 450° to sideways ww 6.0
total: 112.9
Test High Score
The tricks are all do able, but doing them all in 3 minutes would be really hard. The order would be dodgy as well.
With a routine like that the challenge is not connecting the skills but having enough time to do them all. Artistic/flowing/pretty transitions are not important in standard skill (unless they are one of your listed skills). Figure 8 skills take a long time to do and 7 of them in 3 minutes would be challenging to say the least!

What a wank with the high jumps! I could’ve taken at least top three in the expert male (also, I’d be in the 11-15 boys category, where I, for the first and last time in my life, could’ve taken first. 1st place in that was only about 16") ! That’s not good! I guess a bunch of the competitors were doing sidehops.I agree, these scores aren’t that good. I was expecting some scores in the 80cm range. Also, I was expecting Zack in particular to break 70cm. Maybe they all just did sidehops, and they got the tire over, but the pedal didn’t clear. I think for over a bar, rolling hops are the way to go. That way you don’t have to deal with clearing you pedal. I ought to get sponsored so I can compete in things like this. That way I won’t just be sitting here on the forum being all talk and no walk…
Edit: I see the trials course was rather long. Does anyone have any pics of what it was? Did it just get harder as the distance progresses, cuz I’d think that at 73 meters the thing got kinda tiring. At moab the course was crazy tiring after just 2 runs, and I don’t think that was longer than 50 meters.
Edit-edit: I see the long jump was pretty long, though. 2.4 meters is far!
