Level 3 Skills - The Rope Trick

LLAHDEG · 2008-11-26, 01:04 PM

I think that the new unicycling Level 3 requirement - The Rope trick - is far too hard. It should be made at least level 6. It's also not fair that all previous Level 3 and above people will have to retest to include the Rope Trick. Its far too difficult for older people or women unicyclists.

What is the rope trick? Im not seeing it in lvl 3.

LLAHDEG · 2008-11-26, 01:23 PM

I'm testing on Thursday. Will utube it if I pass.

Jerrick · 2008-11-26, 01:25 PM

Sweet. What is the trick though?

Rachael · 2008-11-26, 05:43 PM

Who says women cant do it!! shocking.

ntappin · 2008-11-26, 06:30 PM

What the hell is the rope trick?!

petad · 2008-11-26, 06:35 PM

Yeah...this thread is weird. And in JC.
I can't find anything about the rope trick using google. Can anyone explain?

ThisGuyIKnow · 2008-11-26, 06:57 PM

I think he really means Level 11

constance.cotter · 2008-11-27, 11:03 AM

Maybe this new requirement is only for UUU members. Or for UUU members who are part of JUST (Juggling & Unicycling, Stockton-on-Tees).

It is JUST Level 3.

Im so lost. Where my map?

constance.cotter · 2008-11-27, 11:26 AM

Jerrick,

UUU = Union of UK Unicyclists
Stockton-on-Tees = area in the NE of England (for those that don't know England, put "Stockton-on-Tees" into a mapping program - I tested maps.google and it found the area correctly)

JUST = Awesome club. We practice 2ce/week indoors and have regular MUni rides on the weekends.

The Rope Trick in Level 3 = A new variation partially demonstrated last Tuesday at practice (ending on the unicycle and riding 3 revolutions wasn't quite done). I am looking forward to seeing LLAHDEG pass Level 3 - vids will be posted.

LLAHDEG · 2008-11-27, 12:46 PM

Just to clarify this - UK unicyclists are forging ahead in new skills and are introducing a tougher level 3 test. This is brand new and will be known as level 3i. (the i means 'insurance required'). The Rope Trick is part of level 3i

(As Noel Coward used to say, 'only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the mid-day sun')

Happy Thanksgiving Connie !

We're all waiting. Please utube even if you don't pass, maybe we'll get the idea anyway.
