We started with just sitting and rocking on the Uni and then went to using a fence, one direction then the other.
I have told him to sit up straight, weight on seat, and look ahead and all the other helpful advice listed in the numerous threads here.
Question: Is there anything looking at the video they would help him? He's learning quite fast but is getting frustrated at the moment, is practice and patience the key?
A few more runs from the curb mount so he can get better at having a constant distance before he falls.
Then have him learn to freemount. I think a rolling mount is better for a beginner to use, because they can use the forward momentum to get going.
I found that I could transition from mailbox-assisted mounts to freemounts easily, just by trying not to clutch the mailbox as much when I got on. This way, I was able to freemount *before* I could ride 30 meters.

Nice! =p
I found when I was first teaching my girlfriend, Sera, to ride, she would clutch onto me a lot, to not fall, then little by little would she be able to lessen her grip until it was to the point where I just stuck out my finger and she would hold onto the tip. Then I took my finger away and she was doing it. =p

I have a friend who can freemount, but can't ride more than 2 feet.

Nothing is better than than eternal happiness, and a ham sandwich is better than nothing, therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness.
I cannot watch the video but i learnt (and my girlfriend learnt) By holding on to the trampoline and slowly making my way around untill i was confident to let go. it also help with learning to turn because i had to move around the trampoline.
