  1. freemounting is usually very hard at first. but eventually you'll be
    able to do it allllll the time without thinking twice. I think what
    helped me the most is concentrate on leaning forward a lot, so you'll be
    kind of falling forward but then you pedal to keep the wheel up with
    your upper body.

  2. I (perversely) started trying to freemount before learning to ride, so
    the whole thing took a loooong time for me!

    I'm now on my third and fourth mount and I'm finding the whole thing is
    a matter of perpetual practice leading to gradually nailing it more
    regularly after the first time.

    Have you tried the static mount? This is (perversely, again) my third
    mount, and I'm finding it the easiest so far.

    Have a look at the various vids on the websites mentioned elsewhere on
    the forum (unicycle.2ya.com for instance) for pointers.

    I'm looking forward to badgering the better riders at BUC, too! See you
    there - I'll have my s7ev0 t-shirt on.

    concider that set up. i found it much easier.
