The obstacle is 10x10 cm with an indeterminate length. So, the obstacle
has a height of 10cm, with a width of 10cm. A good source for this
obstacle is a lumber yard, where you usually can get them to cut you
the proper size obstacle.

Getting over the obstacle is up to you: You can ride over it, hop over it,
or whatever (as long as you remain on your unicycle :) ).

For those who are just starting to learn going over obstacles, I usually
recommend starting with something a lot smaller, then working your way
up to the obstacle of 10x10 cm.
