Well, riding one footed with the seat in front happens to be in IUF
Achievement Skill Level 9. It could be said that anyone attempting
that level is "truly mad". 8-} Has anyone officially completed level
9 yet?

A lot of the variations Paul mentions are also in the Standard Skills
List.

Want a really, really mad unicycling skill? Trying coasting
backwards, standing on the seat in a figure 8! Is it even
theoretically possible?

Stay on Top (of the seat, standing on it! :^),
