It depends. I'm expert at some things, professional at some other things, Okay at some other things and absolutely suck-o-mundo at others. Unicycling has many areas of specialty, such as racing, performing, Trials and Ultimate Wheel riding. Not necessarily in that order.

I still get large chunks of "I wish I could learn to ride this damn thing", but I've put myself in the beginner category because I can freemount and get a good quarter of a mile under my belt before a combination of fatigue and poor balance catch up with me.

At this time this poll is fuzzy. What is intermediate for example. Is intermediate for a person who can ride 1/4 mile and mount two different ways. Perhaps a level three rider. Or is intermediate someone who can do level 7 tricks? To be some what useful this poll should describe approximately what each category can do.

I can't describe a thing since I am in the 'damn thing' category.

Figure an intermediate is like a skier that does blue runs good and black diamonds half ass...if that helps.

Thats' right. A damn thing person is someone that can't go a foot on it.

OK, no one may be an expert at them all. Same with skiers. You got downhill racers and mogul masters and park rats. Each one can be an expert in their own area and can still be called an expert skier. (maybe with some qualifiers?)

If you feel better about it, vote and then explain your vote.
