I'm about the same distance from level 7 (missing hop-twists, spinning,
and need a couple more mounts into alternate skills), but anyway, here
are a few things that might be helpful...
hopping on wheel:
just keep trying it, as a "mount", by just hopping straight on the
wheel from the ground. It seems to help if you keep the wheel against
your legs, and don't try to hop very high at first, even 1/2" is fine
for the skill levels.
hop-twisting:
This is hard on a freestyle unicycle. I can do it easily on my trials
uni, but still can't get it every time on my freestyle unicycle. I
find it easier to do seat in front, since I can get more height that
way (especially with a hard tire)
ride backward SIF C:
Just a matter of practice. Try both directions. I didn't find this to
be very difficult AFTER I had doing it straight down solid. Also work
on riding backward standing up (no weight on seat) and with one hand
stuck on the front of the seat, since one thing that makes this hard is
you can't use both hands for balance.
good luck! I am sure you will get to level seven long before I will
(since you can spin, which seams just about impossible to me).
