at http://www.unicycle.2ya.com under miscellaneous (at the bottom of the
screen) there is a video tutorial that shows how to do a step-up mount and a
roll-back mount

I got a 6foot, but can't free mount it yet either.

Good luck!

hi,
I learned how to self mount a giraffe unicycle once every so often but I
was wondering what good tricks there are for giraffes after you can ride
backwards, idle, self mount, and ride foward. If you have any links or
answers that would be great. THANK YOU.

Dude, Justin, start a new thread. You'll get more answers that way.
Also, do a search on it. You need to be better on a normal uni first.
Learn to one foot ride, and then try it on your giraffe.

*Could someone please explain to me how to attempt freemounting it?*

yeah, read 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/5wp4n) post

and make a commitment to yourself that u will only ride the raffie if u
freemount it
it's harsh to stick to, but well worth it in the end
so i'm told😉

Free mounting isn't really to hard it just takes alittle practice. The
site www.unicycle.2ya.com that was said already really helps. The videos
are great to watch so you can see technic. Also what I learned is that
you shouldnt try to rush up the unicycle take it slower then you
think.

The biggest reason to learn it is its sometimes hard to find a really
good spot to do an assisted mount.

I can mount a 5 footer in about 30% of the time. I might be better if I
had my own but its my friends so I only get to play with it at his
house.

Andrew had great videos and tutorials. He is also pretty tall. Here's
some encouragement for the more vertically challenged, a couple links to
clips of Ben roll-mounting a chain-driven uni.
