  1. I think that’s what they’re called at least.

    I tried these a few days ago. I didn't get it at first, but
    it only took a few tried and about 5 minutes and I was
    nailing about 1 in 3. Ten minutes after that I was hitting
    almost all of them. I think this might be my most impressive
    mount/trick yet.

    The day after I first got it, I tried it on my 24 with very
    sharp pins. It wasn’t such a good idea seeing as it was
    raining quite hard and everything was wet and slippery. On
    my first attempt, which happened to be the first thing I
    tried that day) I missed the pedal and got a rather large
    pedal pin gash on the inner part of my leg by my knee. It
    wasn’t a pretty sight. Once it heals a bit, I’ll go out and
    try it again (on my 20).

    Daniel's current list of mounts (in ascending order of
    impressiveness): Static Rollback Side Jump Suicide 180 jump
    Kickup Flying Jump

    I’ll get some pics when I get the chance.

    there ain't enough body armor in the country for me to try that. -- Ken

  2. O.K. let's see if I get the picture. I've never seen any type of fancy
    mount demonstrated; in fact I've only seen about three other unicyclists
    in real life outside of my family, but I'm guessing that you get the uni
    rolling along a bit and then try to jump on somehow. Is this correct?
    If so, and it's as easy as you say, I'm going to start working on it.
    It sounds really cool whatever it is😎 I have dreams about being
    able to fly sometimes:p

  3. Try searching for either 'flying jump mount' or Tony
    Melton's album in the gallery. He's been doing a lot of
    these lately. I've filmed him doing some in various
    situations for our unicycling movie. They look great!
