Hey,
I'd be interested in some more opinions on the new U-System rating
spreadsheet. Basically it's a list of dimensions of simple (read:
possible to describe) obstacles at different skill levels. As described
in the rules intro, these simple obstacles provide a reference to get a
sense for difficulty on other obstacles that wouldn't be possible to
describe in words.
Although it was meant as a reference to describe section difficulty, it
also could potentially be used as a training aid.
Andy Cotter had the opinion that any statement of distance in the
spreadsheet (ie "ride 5 m along a 5cm wide beam"😉 could be replaced with
some number of pedal rotations, which I thought was a good idea.
Download the freetrials rules at www.krisholm.com/freetrials and tell me
what you think of the U-System spreadsheet (located at the bottom of the
rules).
Thanks,
Kris.
