This forum is set up for unicyclists to talk about anything they want that is not unicycling specific and would therefore be off-topic in the Rec.Sport.Unicycling forum.
So speak freely and meet other unicyclists from around the world!
Do you ever wonder why people will sometimes reply to really old threads like this one? Most people post replies to the most recent threads. Why do they have to bring up the old ones?
Was this the oldest one you could find?
yeah, i know…its really annoying. im not sure why anyone would even think of doing something like that

The following is the IUF Standard Skill List with competition point
values followed by a skill description section.
Certainly not every skill will be in here. For example none of these
skills require a prop.
Kirk, I hope this helps.

UNICYCLING SKILLS LIST
GENERAL REMARKS ABOUT STANDARD SKILL RIDING:
Only figures listed in the following skills list can be used for the
assembly of standard skill routines.
RIDING POSITION: Unless stated differently in a figure description, it
is to be executed with the rider seated and with both feet on the
pedals.
BODY FORM: The rider must show proper body form and shall not change
this form during the execution of the entire figure.
RIDING DIRECTION: Unless stated differently, all riding figures are to
be performed riding forward, this being the direction in which the
rider faces.
PATTERN: Unless stated differently in a figure description, it is to
be executed in a line. Exceptions are mounts, stationary skills and
transitions, which can be executed at any spot in the riding area.
TRANSITIONS: Unless stated differently in the description of a
transition, it starts and ends with the rider seated with both feet on
the pedals. An exception is made for uni spins, where the rider may
start with the seat held out in front. Before and after transitions
entered on the score sheet as figures, at least one revolution of the
wheel must be ridden in the start and end positions. If the start or
end position of a transition is a stationary skill, that stationary
skill must be completely executed, whether or not it is listed on the
score sheet.
MOUNTS: Unless stated differently in the description of a mount, it is
to end with the rider seated with both feet on the pedals. After all
mounts listed on the judging sheet as figures, at least one full
revolution of the wheel must be ridden in the end position.
IDLING FIGURES: In idling figures, a minimum of 5 consecutive cycles
(back and forth motions) must be executed.
ONE FOOT FIGURES: Unless stated differently in one foot figures, the
free foot is to be placed on the frame so that there is no contact
between the free foot and any rotating part of the unicycle.
SEAT OUT FIGURES: Unless stated differently in seat out figures, the
rider shall have no contact with the seat other than the hand holding
the seat. The hand holding the seat shall not touch any part of the
rider’s body.
WHEEL WALK FIGURES: Unless stated differently in wheel walk figures,
the feet are to push only the tire, and shall have no contact with the
pedals or crank arms.
STILLSTANDS: The minimum time for stillstands is 3 seconds.
HOPPING FIGURES: In hopping figures, a minimum of 5 consecutive hops
must be executed.
SPINS AND PIROUETTES: The rider must make a minimum of three full
rotations for spins and pirouettes. Spins must be ridden around a
fixed point. Pirouettes must be executed on 1 spot.
COASTING: Unless stated differently in coasting figures, the feet are
to have no contact with any rotating part of the unicycle (pedals,
crank arms, tire).

Do these count?
It was the very first posting on JC! Back then it was a lot quieter than it is now. One person had suggested that the forum be removed because hardly anyone posted at the time.
and then (after a couple years) came Most Replys and Logan_A.
Don’t forget the Gallery of ____ threads. This forum isn’t all crap.
it was Phil,GILD,Sendhair,Gludious Maximus and I that set this forum afloat…
I must add Dave (uni57) to the list of suspec^H^H^H^Hparticipants, for spouting a truly legendary amount of intelligent and humourous… erm… nonsense. 
<nostalgic gaze>
Aye, them were t’ days… when you could leave yer door open at nights 'cause all round ‘ere was just fields, and you could get the bus to t’ pictures and back for tuppence ha’p’nny…
Did Gluteous leave, or just fade away?
sniff
Whatever happened to Sendhair, and Gluteous? They don’t post here anymore. I miss them.
I object! The Most Replys thread is still totally awesome, but I do agree that Logan_A shoudl be banned. But he’s not doing his retarded thing anymore, so I guess he can stay.
well my reply was in responce to unibabyguy when he said
and now it is far from quite due to the open dialogue fromed by Most Replies (im sorry, i just feel dirty when i miss spell it even though i miss spell everything.) and saddly by Logan_A.'s posts too. speaking of open dialogue, why did u choose the name James_Potter for your sn?
