  1. I'm working on my level 5 skills at the moment, and hope to have them
    ready soon. How do I do the test? IUF or USA? Is there anyone in
    Australia who can test me, or I can send a video to?

    Any Australians out there who have passed a skill level test?

  2. what do you get for video taping it and "officially" passing a level? A
    card that says level 5?

    Bicycle is just a short way of saying unicycle with a training wheel.

    I like to do things that confuse other people - mix chocolate milk and
    orange juice, read books in trees, and other junk like that.

  3. A friend of mine checked and I'm pretty sure you can send in videos to
    pass the tests. I'm assuming you'd have to be in the fram the whole
    time to avoid editing and cheating. Good luck. Where in Australia do
    you live?

  4. I'm in Ballarat, Victoria. The IUF website says;

    To formally achieve a skill level a rider must pass a skill level exam
    with an authorized examiner. Examiners are authorized by the IUF, the
    USA or other connected unicycling organizations. If no authorized
    examiner is available, riders can send a video tape, with no edits per
    level, to an authorized examiner in their country, or to the IUF Skill
    Levels and Rules Committee. Videos must clearly show all the necessary
    details of each skill.

    So I guess a video can be sent to them. Presumably the video has to
    been in an appropriate format?

  5. Hmmmm I think you'd be better off emailing them and asking them about
    it. Good luck.

    I think level 1 u/i 4 are exempt from that requirement (in that you
    can have 'anyone' judge it), but I'm not sure how I know that. Since
    you (fattyjules) are working at level 5 it doesn't matter for you
    anyways.

    Clearly a system of 1/14 and 1/16 is not decimal - Mikefule on the English weight system

  7. Are you a member of the Australian Unicycle Society?

    Contact the AUS and you may be able to track down the level tester
    closest to you.

    Also, if you are going to Darwin for the 2005 unicycle national
    championships, you will be able to be level tested then (if you can wait
    that long!)

    Good luck.
