It seems like the levels are primarily geared towards performances, as
well. Unicycling for me is more a fun form of transport, and a lot of
the cool stuff I've done/seen done has had a lot more to do with
terrain and obstacles, or the ability to do normal things while on a
uni, like pick things up off the ground, (which is requisite for)
playing frisbee, basketball, etc. The skill level list includes
nothing like this. And what about freemounting a giraffe? Riding
with people on your shoulders?
It seems that trying to codify a set of skills that make you a "good
unicyclist" is futile. And trying to set up a "certification" system
for said skill levels is perverse. It would be far more appropriate
to set up a list of "fun things to try", and add to the list as people
come up with ideas. I think we will end up with a far more creative
and diverse list that way, and unicycling won't become (ugh)
formalized.
