Proposal 23: High Jump on Plattform part 2 [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: JumpsSubmitted on 2015-02-03
Status: Passed on March 18, 2015
Background
Based on the result we got while testing this brand new rules, we find some point to adjust them. I marked all changes in bold to find them more easy.
Proposal
OLD RULES
x.y Platform High Jump
The object is to jump from the ground to a platform, with no pedal or crank grabs. Riders must remain in control of the unicycle (stay mounted) for 5 seconds after landing.
The rider and unicycle jump up to a landing surface on a platform (see x.y.2 for definitions) and remain on the landing surface for a 5-second count from a judge. ***Riders have two attempts for each height.*** The rider begins at a low height, and after each successful attempt, the height increases at set intervals until the rider fails on both attempts. When the rider fails both attempts, the maximum height that was completed is recorded as his or her result.
There are three parts to a successful jump:
- Riders must mount their unicycles on the ground. A jump attempt occurs when any part of the unicycle or rider touches any part of the platform or landing surface. The rider may break off from a jump attempt before touching the platform or landing surface. This does not qualify as a jump attempt.
- Riders must jump "to rubber" on the landing surface. No part of the rider, or any part of the unicycle other than the tire, may touch the platform or landing surface."
- After landing, the rider must remain mounted and on the landing surface for 5 seconds, as counted by a judge. The rider may do any form of idling, hopping or stillstanding during the 5 seconds. Once the judge has counted 5 seconds, the rider may return to the ground in any fashion he or she chooses.
If a rider completes all of the requirements listed in Items 1 through 3 above, the jump is deemed successful. Otherwise, it is deemed a failed jump attempt.
x.y.1 Unicycles
Standard unicycles must be used (see definition in chapter 1d). There is no restriction on wheel or crank size, and metal pedals are allowed.
x.y.2 Setup
The structure consists of two parts: a platform and a landing surface. The top surface of the platform must be at least 80 x 120 cm in size, but no larger than 120 x 160 cm. The sides of the platform must be nearly perpendicular with the ground to ensure its present does not hamper riders. The landing surface consists of a flat piece of wood of dimension 100 x 100 cm that is firmly affixed to the top of the platform. The method of attachment must be chosen so that it does not interfere with riders during jump attempts. The structure should be sturdily built and shimmed so that there is minimal motion when jumps are attempted.
A 3-m safety ring must be marked out around all sides of the platform where no persons may enter during a jump attempt. Organizers may choose to mark out a 4-m ring where only select persons may enter during a jump attempt (i.e., photographers or judges). A 15-m runway must also be cleared of persons for riders that will roll into the jump.
x.y.3 Broken Unicycle
If any part of the unicycle breaks during an attempt, a new attempt must be given to the rider.
NEW RULES
x.y Platform High Jump
The object is to jump from the ground to a platform, with no pedal or crank grabs. Riders must remain in control of the unicycle (stay mounted) for 3 seconds after landing.
The rider and unicycle jump up to a landing surface on a platform (see x.y.2 for definitions) and remain on the landing surface for a 3-second count from a judge. ***Riders have two attempts for each height.*** The rider begins at a low height, and after each successful attempt, the height increases at set intervals until the rider fails on both attempts. When the rider fails both attempts, the maximum height that was completed is recorded as his or her result.
There are three parts to a successful jump:
- Riders must mount their unicycles on the ground. A jump attempt occurs when any part of the unicycle or rider touches any part of the platform or landing surface. The rider may break off from a jump attempt before touching the platform or landing surface. This does not qualify as a jump attempt.
- Riders must jump "to rubber" on the landing surface. No part of the rider, or any part of the unicycle other than the tire, may touch the platform or landing surface."
- After landing, the rider must remain mounted and on the landing surface for 3 seconds, as counted by a judge. The rider may do any form of idling, hopping or stillstanding during the 5 seconds.

x.y.1 Unicycles
Standard unicycles must be used (see definition in chapter 1d). There is no restriction on wheel or crank size, and metal pedals are allowed.
x.y.2 Setup
The structure consists of two parts: a platform and a landing surface. The top surface of the platform must be at least 120 x 120 cm in size, the maximum and recommended size is 120 x 160 cm (W x L). The sides of the platform must be nearly perpendicular with the ground to ensure its presence does not hamper riders. The landing surface consists of a flat piece of wood of dimension 120 x 120 cm up to 120 x160 (depends on the platform) that is firmly affixed to the top of the platform. The method of attachment must be chosen so that it does not interfere with riders during jump attempts. The structure should be sturdily built and shimmed so that there is minimal motion when jumps are attempted. The front of the platform must be covered by a wooden plate that extends a minimum of 60cm from the top of the platform down. This cover must be used when riders are jumping 60cm or higher.
A 3-m safety ring must be marked out around all sides of the platform where no persons may enter during a jump attempt. Organizers may choose to mark out a 4-m ring where only select persons may enter during a jump attempt (i.e., photographers or judges). A 15-m runway must also be cleared of persons for riders that will roll into the jump.
x.y.3 Broken Unicycle
If any part of the unicycle breaks during an attempt, a new attempt must be given to the rider.
