  6. I can freemount my girraffe about one in four times. I had to go to a
    workshop and have Connie show me how.
    The Tutorial Skrobo Posted is good. If you have trouble doing the
    static mount like the guy in the video does it, try putting first foot
    on the tire second one the pedal and then the first one on the other
    pedal.
    Congratulations on getting the girraffe, and good luck freemounting it!

  11. I am 4' 9" and I can (almost) freemount my giraffe two different ways,
    and I have a bloody schwinn giraffe. height doesn't make much of a
    difference.

  13. There was a kid at NAUCC who was around 5 feet tall that could rolling
    mount a 5 footer like it was nothing. I rode a 5 footer for the first
    time tonight and afterward we were all discussing how awsome this kid
    was. Just keep practicing!

  14. I have been able to roll mount a giraffe for a long time. I think when I
    learned it the giraffe was as tall or taller than I was.

  15. I think most 5' tall giraffes that have the seat as high as it should be
    are as tall as you.

  17. I have had the TX from the lowest it can be, to the highest the seat can
    be.

    I'm not sure if any seat height will make it easier to mount.
