I thought that, in terms of the 10 skill levels, they weren't
different...so when you need four different mounts or whatever, those
don't count as two separate ones.

James is right. Much as I think it is unfair because the mounts feel
quite different for me, they count as mere variations for the levels.

If the two moutns in question are where you pedal backwards a half turn
to get the uni under you and where you mount with no backpedaling at
all, then those are considered two different mounts. I read it
somewhere on unicycling.org, but I can't find it right now. It was
either on a list of tricks/mounts or a page with some rules on it.

I think they do not count as two seperate mounts, but it is possible
they do (suddenly makes the all the levels a bit easier..). I am
pretty sure the jump mount and free jump mount count differently, and
those are very similar, so maybe they should count.

I think there are different doing a good static is not so easy then a
rollback.

while we're on the subject, are different footed mounts counted? it
would more or less double your mount count, but then i'm not sure i
could do a jump mount left-footed, and learned the left-footed static
mount not so long ago...

on unicyclist.org.uk it says 'Variety of Mounts:
At each level starting from level 3, riders must add one new mount to
those they have previously demonstrated. Repeating the same mount with
the opposite foot does not constitute a different type of mount.'

i also remember sarah saying that the static and roll back mounts can
only be used as different mounts on level 3... any higher levels and
they are the same.

This question keeps popping up from time to time. John Foss (someone who
should know) has repeatedly stated that static and rollback mounts are
mere variations of the standard mount, and therefore not acceptable as
different mounts for level testing, see e.g.
http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27069 . Nevertheless, can anyone tell
where we can find an official source for this, e.g. any published level
rules?

On the other hand, could Amanda / Sarah and jonathan supply proof for
their statements that they are considered different?

i had a look and it says on the USA skills website 'They are all
considered to be different mounts. It is up to the tester to make the
final decision on any mount not listed below. With unlisted mounts, the
tester will also need to make the decision whether the mount is a
variation or a valid mount.' so im guessing it depends what tester you
have to whetehr its different or not?

ive always been told that they are the same when ive been tested...

Is a roll forward mount the same or different as a standard mount? Not
sure what it would be called, but I put the unicycle behind me seat
between my legs, place a foot on the forward pedal and press, the wheel
rolls forward from behind me and I step on the other pedal.

THanks!

That's commonly called a back mount, or backwards mount, it is a
different recognised mount to the others mentioned in this thread.
