Static mount...I guess?
1) Ensure cranks are roughly horizontal
2) Place foot on the back pedal, but very, very lightly w/ very little
pressure on the pedal.
3) Place seat between your legs (as far as practical depending on seat
height)
4) With all your weight balanced on the leg still on the ground sort of
push/hop off that leg with most of your weight transfering to the seat
as you come onto the unicycle (again remember keep the pressure on the
back foot light!) and your front foot should now come into contact with
the front pedal.
5) If you've done it right you've done a "static" mount of your
unicycle i.e. the wheel should not have rolled backward or forward and
now you can hop to stabilize or just ride off...
I think this is the Static mount, though I'm not sure, at any rate
this is the first mount I learned and all I usually do, especially
off-road. The beauty is that it works great for mounting skinnies,
mounting uphill and anywhere you can't afford the wheel to roll as you
mount (like most places you find yourself when riding trails!).
Good Luck!
