Getting ready for NAUCC

This weekend I finally sat down to look at NAUCC registration. I want to do a Standard Skill routine, plus compete in the track events. I might try the Muni events as well. But there are problems.

One: I don't have a Standard Skill routine, at least I didn't. I slapped one togeather yesterday and then tried it out. I was lousy. I probably would get a negative score and be DQ'ed. The routine is as follows:

  • Mount to Seat in Front
  • Seat in Front - c
  • Stomach on Seat - c
  • 1ft - c
  • Seat in Back - c
  • Riding bwd - c
  • Mount to 1ft ext idle
  • Idle 1ft ext
  • Hoptwist 180deg
  • Hopping Seat out Front
  • Hopping on Wheel
  • Sidehopping, foot on tire
  • Touch Floor
  • Wheel Walk
  • WW to Pedals
  • Backspin
  • WW 1ft
  • Seat in Front bwd, seat against body

Problem two: never ridden one foot or ww on a 24" wheel! Okay. So I did get to try the 1ft race. That went okay. Probably in a month I'll be able to reliably complete the race. I also ww about 100' down my street. Downhill isn't easy, so that seems okay, but I was way slow.
