Proposal 96: Definition of Coasting [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: Main CommitteeSubmitted on 2019-06-03
Status: Passed on June 13, 2019
Background
This started out as a discussion (Discussion 161) and proposal (Proposal 84) in the Track Subcommittee, because the intent was to change the definition of Track Coasting. Later it was suggested to remove the definition of Coasting from the Track Chapter altogether and move it to Definitions, 1D.1 The Track section about coasting would refer to 1D.1 for a definition. There is also a definition in 8E.1.11, which can also be deleted because the definition in 1D.1 is sufficient.
In this way, this proposal affects three chunks of text in different sections of the Rulebook, being handled by three separate subcommittees. I am not a member in all three of them, so I don't know how I should go about this. I put it all in here, in the Main Committee.
Proposal
OLD RULE:
1D.1 Defintions
[text does not exist]
3B.6.2 Coasting Events
Riders must not touch any part of their tires, wheels or pedals while coasting.
8E.1.11 Coasting
Unless stated differently in coasting figures, the feet are to have no contact with any
rotating part of the unicycle (pedals, crank arms, or tire).
NEW RULE
1D.1 Defintions
[Insert this at the proper alphabetic location]
Coasting: Unless stated differently, Coasting is riding without touching pedals, cranks or any part of the wheel including the tire. (Freewheeling on a freewheel unicycle is not coasting.)
3B.6.2 Coasting Events
Riders must not touch any part of their tires, wheels or pedals while coasting. [Remove this sentence]
8E.1.11 Coasting
Unless stated differently in coasting figures, the feet are to have no contact with any
rotating part of the unicycle (pedals, crank arms, or tire). [Remove this whole section, renumber all subsequent sections accordingly]
