I'd assume this is how you'd actually learn to Crankroll, like Dan does
in his Defect section, but since I've not seen it before I thought I'd
post it up here.

Basically I started with my cranks in the reverse position to how they
would usually be when mounting, I put my foot on the right hand
crank-axle join, and push off the floor, rolling the crank under my
foot. The crank rotates 180 degrees and ends in a 'standing on the
crank' postion, just like when learning unispins. You then simply place
the other foot on the other crank to stabilise yourself, and I pop the
seat in and transfer to pedals.
Pretty easy, I learnt it in about 20 minutes, spread over 2 weeks (I
usually stick at something till I've done it once, move on to something
else, then come back to it after a week or so. I find I've learnt how
to do it without practising inbetween
).
Loose.
