    Earlier today when I was doing leg-arounds, I decided to bring my foot
    back over the seat, rather than around it. Specifically, I took my
    right foot off the pedal, swung it around to the other side of the seat
    (so far this is just like a leg around), but instead of just continuing
    around, I put both hands on the seat (right in back, left in front),
    and swung my leg over the top of the seat back to the pedal. I've heard
    of mounting a unicycle like this, but never doing it while riding,
    since it's tougher to throw your leg over the seat when it doesn't
    start on the ground. Anyway, step-over was the most descriptive name I
    could think of, but please correct me if everyone's already doing this
    trick.

    argh...I've done this before, if it's what I'm thinking of. I was
    watching Leo Vande%*&# doing the step over mount on his web site and I
    thought of the exact same thing. Hop on the cranks, sif, then swing one
    foot half way around and bring it over the seat between your hands
    (hands are positioned at front and back of the seat). I hate
    this...every time I think I have an original trick someone else has to
    discover it.

    Oh well...good creative mindset. How long have have you been uniing?

    I hope I don't post mupltiple messages, because it brought up and error
    message when I tried to send this the first time.

    Yes, this is the same motion as Leo's step-over mount, the difference
    being that his is a mount and this is half of a leg-around and then the
    motion. Excalibur, I've been unicycling for about a year. I figured
    people have done this before, but I had never heard it mentioned, so I
    thought it was worth posting.

    yeah, not so much a new trick... just one of the tricks that people do
    but never bother to name/define it. done it a few times a while back
    nothing special, but congrats for posting it (where other people
    wouldnt bother)
