Fast Test For the Rider Tier, riders may begin testing at any of the base levels, without passing the base before it. For example, a rider may choose to begin testing with Base 3. If the rider passes, he or she automatically passes the first two bases as well. However, if a rider chooses to begin with a higher base and does not pass that test, the rider may not attempt to pass a lower base at that time. After seven days, the rider may once again test on any base he or she feels ready to attempt.
Testing rules are provided below and are subject to change.
For more information, please see the complete testing guidelines in the Unicycling
Skill Testing Handbook.

1.
Each skill (or combination of skills) must be demonstrated according to the
rules on the first attempt, although riders are allowed one second
attempt on only one failed skill within each base.
2.
All skills must be done without assistance from anyone or from any structure or
device. For Bases 1, 2, and 3, the rider may have assistance in getting on the
unicycle.
3.
Skills in a set may be done in any order, according to the rider’s choice. The
rider must state which skill he or she is attempting before beginning to perform
the skill.
4.
Riding skills are forward, unless otherwise stated.
5.
The standard mount may be done as the forward mount or the rollback mount in
each case. Only the standard mount may be used in testing for the Rider Bases.
6.
Riding more than the number of revolutions stated is allowed unless “no more
than” is specified. For example, “ride 25 revolutions” may be more than 25
revolutions, but not fewer than 25. If no number of revolutions is specified,
riders must ride at least 3 revolutions.
7.
For Base 2 and above, the rider must ride into and out of all skills (3
revolutions minimum), except the distance skills (for example, “Ride 25
revolutions.”).
8.
For Base 4 and above, the rider must freemount and ride into and out of the
skills (3 revolutions minimum), as directed by the skill tester. The rider may
use any freemount he or she chooses when testing for skills other than the
freemount requirements. If the rider fails on the attempt to freemount on any
skill other than the freemount,
the rider may have an unlimited number of attempts to freemount and continue to
test without penalty.
9. The rider must dismount with the unicycle in front
when “dismount” is included in the skill. If the required dismount is not
controlled with the unicycle in front, the rider does not pass the skill. If
“dismount” is not stated, riders may stay on the unicycle after completing a
skill and continue with the next skill if they choose.
10. For Bases 1 and 2, a controlled dismount is not
required. For Base 3 and up, a controlled dismount is required any time riders are required
or choose to dismount after completing a skill. Controlled dismounts are with
the unicycle in front.
11. Riders may dismount and rest briefly between
skills if they choose, but may not practice any skill during testing.
12.
Each skill listed is numbered. Combined skills are counted as one skill. If a
rider misses part of a combined skill, the rider must repeat the entire skill
successfully in order for testing to continue.
13.
When equipment is required, the test may not be completed without it. Equipment
may not be changed or substituted except as specified in the Unicycling Skill
Testing Handbook.
14. Riders must use the same unicycle during each separate base test—they may not change unicycles within a test. They may use any standard unicycle to test, subject to the approval of the skill tester. (Tall unicycles may not be used for the Base or Artistic tests.)
15.
Testing for any base may not take longer than 15 minutes.
16. Only certified skill testers may conduct the test. Contract the Unicycling Skill Testing Committee to become certified.
17.
Riders who pass skill tests will be listed in the rider database, as
reported by the certified skill tester. Riders also may be listed on the Web
site if they indicate that choice to the skill tester.
18. Retry Rule: Any rider who fails a skill test must wait seven days before retesting.

Schnelltest: Ein Einradfahrer darf eine Stufe versuchen, ohne die
darunterliegenden Stufen überwunden zu haben. Zum Beispiel, ein
Einradfahrer, darf mit Stufe 3 anfangen. Falls er Stufe 3 erfolgreich
besteht, hat er Stufe 1 und 2 automatisch bestanden. Aber, falls er
diese Stufe nicht erfolgreich besteht, darf er in einer
darunterliegenden Stufe nicht gleich testen. Erst nach 7 Tagen, darf er
wieder eine Stufe aussuchen und sich prüfen lassen.
