I like how that doesn't have anything bigger than a 6 set. Although lots
of people do bigger sets I don't really think that they should be a
requirement of street. It is more of a tweak to a trick than a trick in
itself.

All in all they look pretty good. Still there are probably more level
tens in street than in the standard list but this is because most of
the tricks are just combinations of smaller ones so I don't really
think you can compare the two lists.

I agree on that.

A 180 uni spin on the standard list is a 10.

Edit: how about the parts in red?

They all look right to me, but I think level seven is supposed to be a
handrail. Level six is probably up a four set.

Also we should get one of the street aficionado's in here to put in the
proper name for some of those tricks, like treflip and backflips and
the like. The whole 180 unispin crankflip thing just makes it more
annoying to read.

The level 8 rail is the only one where it actually had "hand" in the
translation, I felt it was obvious. But what about the differences
between the grinds in levels 5 and 7?

I think you are right about the 4-set.

Ahh I see what you mean. Maybe they really do mean just a long rail,
seems kind of silly though. Maybe they mean a sloped rail?

The one that kind of gets me is • Driving jump concerning 4-set gone

I'm assuming it means a rolling hop something of a four set but I don't
know if thats up or down.

Hey guys, first of all I think it's pretty cool that when searching for
street levels you ended up on my page, they are existing street levels
that I got from the 'Unicyclopedia' (http://tinyurl.com/yrveuy) if you
would have scrolled down you would have found the link to the english
skill levels at the bottom at the source (bron). Mmm, the English
version of EenWiel.nl will be released in less than a month I think so
keep your eyes open!

The translation is very far off there, it says "Grind a handrail of any

That's not a good list. Um, blind 3 spins down a 6 same as normal. And
way is anything static on that list. Street is NOT static. Everything
static should be gotten rid of. Plus, they shouldn't label the flip
tricks, It should be like the mounts in the regual skill level. (Do 1
flip trick) (Do 3 flip tricks), by level ten be like (Do 50 flip
tricks) like that. Keep it more broad, Then maybe levels down, (be able
to do 5-7-9-11-15 flips tricks down a 3-4-5-6) blah blah. Don't name
the exact trick and what to do down it. It should be more loosely
based. Plus where would manny pads come into play, or tech grinds, or
footplants (still cool if done right). Street is a bit too much to
cover in a list in my opinion. You could make flip trick 10 levels but
not street.

If you don't like the list then don't follow it, either that or make
your own. Its not like it is a strict doctrine for all street riders to
follow, it just gives a fun list of things that might help people get
some motivation.

No worries about me following lists, I like to think I've come up with
what to do on my own. I just think street shouldn't be structured. The
more it is structured the less appealing it will seem to nonriders.
More kids/teens want an escape from structure in their sport. That's
why skating is so popular as well. It's a break from the normal. You
say to anyone not riding "Oh i'm level 6 street riders." Sounds really
lame. If people want motivation, let them watch one of many street vids
out there now, see what to try to do, they shouldn't need a list to
help them along.

i agree

this level stuff is dumb, i dont think it should be for any type of
unicycling. There is way to much out there to list, so just ride and
love it.

you dont see skateboarding and bmx'ing with skill levels...

If we think back to the original reasons for the USA skill levels (which
came before the IUF ones), I think one of the main intents was to help
people figure out what things to try next. If you look at it from that
point of view it could be more useful.

Also the USA started out with only four levels, in 1979 or so. The list
of 10 was made in the mid-80s. Street is so new, if you want a workable
system it's probably best to focus on the lower levels first, and see
what lots of riders thind of them before worrying too much about the
top ones. Some people will have tricks they *like,* others will have
tricks they *don't like,* and others will have tricks they can't do
nearly as easily as the others in the list.

When you have a lot of feedback from riders, especially from riders
trying to learn the skills, it will give an idea of which things are
harder than which others, and they can be moved around to be in the
appropriate order. Or you can make harder or easier variations of the
tricks to keep them in the same place.

Street is so new, I'd recommend keeping it simple for now. As somebody
mentioned above, you don't want to close the box on how people think of
Street moves. It should be clear that what's on this list are just a
few of the more common moves. Riders should always be encouraged to
think up new ideas.

The freestyle skill levels obvioulsy don't include everything that the
best freestyle riders pull off, so it's not like this list has to have
everything in it. Though some people might proclaim that they are a
certain level rider, I think it is good for beginners to look at this
list as they progress, because it gives them an idea as to what they
should work on next. I remember that I was excited to become a level 5
or 6 rider for the freestyle list, but then gave up trying to get
anything after that and started to find my own style. Looking at that
list really helped me to know what I should work on next.

Edit: oops, John posted right before me..
