I'm probably not the right person to reply, but just to give you an idea
that it can be done. I learned to free-mount before I could actually
ride 20m (purely because where I was practising in the road I had
nothing to support me). The mount was not particularly graceful or even
done properly, but it did give me the confidence to know that I can do
it.
I use a similar way of freemounting as SockMonster does, basically a
static mount where I grab the wheel to prevent it from moving, step up
and start cycling. I still struggle sometimes getting it right, with
the foot placement on the step up the biggest problem along with
remembering to then put all my weight in the saddle. (I consider myself
quite a novice at the moment, have only been unicycling for about a
month or so)
Lastly relax, you have more time than you think you do. Don't feel you
need to rush the action to get it right, just a gentle movement.
(something I picked up from juggling, and the frustration associated
with trying to get higher numbers or some weird tricks).... you have
more time.....
