Alright, if you're looking at the wheel, think of it like a clock...top
is 12, bottom is 6....there's two main ways that most people start
freemounting...one is the 12 and 6 o'clock, the other is the 3 and 9
o'clock.
for the 12-6 method, the pedal for your dominant foot is pointing
straight down at the ground, and the other is pointing up....put your
strong foot on the bottom pedal, step on, and go.
For the 3-9 method, the pedals should be horizontal, with your strong
foot back. You have to step onto the back pedal, putting as little
weight on it as possible, and step to the front pedal quickly, and ride
away.
The 12-6 method (which i learned with), is easier to get on, but
requires more strength to ride away with, because you have to work
against gravity.
The 3-9 method, is harder to get on, because it requires a little more
balance, but you can ride away a lot easier, because gravity helps you
push the pedal down. You can also use it for mounting into stalls and
jumps.
Personally, I'd recommend learning with the 12-6 method.
Hope I helped, PM me if you have any questions.
