  1. I just successfully preformed a few suicide mounts! πŸ˜„ Did it first
    time, and I only had one UPD in a whole series!
    One tip: Just do it! (it may also be an idea to wear safety gear, but I
    don't have any so sod that...)

  2. I think I'll use it whenever I can... It's the 3rd mount I've learnt so
    far. After I can do a suicide mount 9999/10000 times, I'll learn to do
    the 180ΒΊ spin mount. πŸ˜„

  3. Yea, Suicide is 80% psychological and 20% skill. I can still remember my
    'first time'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25479).

  5. that was one of the first really cool tricks i learned. It wasn't half
    as hard as it looks. i can do it pretty consistantly now, like 9/10
    times or better. and on that there video, i have no idea how he kept
    the unicycle standing up that long and that still...

  7. You stand it up and then jump on before it has time to fall. πŸ˜‰

    I learned recently, got it my first try. It's easy, all you have to do
    is psych yourself up.

  8. dont you love the feeling of finally nailing a new trick?
    its like something just clicks in your head and you have it. It's the
    best.
    I use the suicide mount all the time.
    congrats.

  9. Definetly a crowd pleaser, once you get the balls to try it it isn't
    hard to ace.

    when i suicide mount im not acutally landing on the seat. i land on the
    pedals with the seat in between my legs. it prevents the nut smashing.

    I always thought the "Suicide mount" was when you jump up on the CROWN
    to a standing WW. πŸ˜•

  14. Nope, a suicide mount is just a jump mount but you let go of the uni
    right before you jump on. The thing you are talking about is just
    called a jump mount into stand up wheelwalk.

    How the heck does he keep the unicycle standing still like that? For me
    that is the hardest part, keeping the unicycle standing long enough to
    at least make the jump look good....

    Ok thanks for clarifying that! I DL'd a short vid a while back showing
    a guy jumping up to the crown to a stand-up WW. He called it a suicide
    mount, so that's the first time I ever even heard that term.
