Proposal 64: 5B.5.6.1 Dismounts: Uphill [ Revision 2 ]

Committee: Muni (including Cyclocross)
Submitted on 2017-01-06
Status: Passed on January 21, 2017

Background

In case of an amount of riders, trying to get over a difficult section, referees have a hard job to determine the point of remount of each rider.

Proposal

OLD:

5B.5.6.1 Dismounts: Uphill

If the Uphill race is run as a time trial, riders are intended to ride the entire distance.

In the event of a dismount, the rider must remount the unicycle:

(a) At the point where the dismount occurred if the unicycle falls back down the course

toward the start.

(b) Where the unicycle and/or rider come to a stop after dismounting. Excessive

running/walking/stumbling after a dismount may be grounds for a penalty at the

discretion of the Referee.

(c) Riders may also choose to back up (toward the start line) from one of those spots

to remount, if they prefer the terrain there.

 

NEW:

5B.5.6.1 Dismounts: Uphill

Riders must ride the entire course. In the event of a dismount, the rider must remount the unicycle at the location of the wheel at the moment of the dismount. Riders may also choose to back up (toward the start line) to remount, if they prefer the terrain there.

Body

This rule-change is intended to facilitate the job of the referees especially in case of an amount of riders in difficult sections. Moreover it should help a bit to avoid large amounts of riders at difficult points.
