  1. Figured out a new mount (new to me at least) when I was just
    messing around today. Put the unicycle between your legs,
    then jump up, pulling the unicycle under you. Land on the
    pedals. Wasn't on the mount list so was just wondering if
    anyone has ever done this before.

    P.S. Nice forums by the way.

  2. I think my friend invented this same mount. You put the seat
    under you, and the unicycle in front (or behind), and jump
    up to make the unicycle roll under you, and land it.
    Welcome, n00b!

    I've seen John Bruinen do that mount, as a variation to jump
    and suicide. Does anyone know a (the) name for it?

  5. You need to jump a lot higher if you want to do it on a 'Coker'

  9. Nice work in that Coker clip! Something about watching makes me wonder,
    not why the rider is not wearing a helmet, but why he's not wearing
    warmer clothes?? 😄

    I'm not aware of any widely known or accepted name for that
    type of mount. You might call it a roll-under mount, or roll-
    under jump mount. You would have to specify it if it's being
    done from the front or rear.

    Most of the lists of tricks, mounts, transitions and other
    stuff we have out there, like the Standard Skills List, are
    not intended to be comprehensive. Especially the Standard
    Skills list, which is really more of a sampling of the more
    common, well-established moves that can be done. Freestyle
    and Open-X can be all about the stuff that's not listed.

  10. This clip was taken in my parking lot...Mrs Sofa was going
    to work, I had her film me (it was 7am, and I was excited I
    did that mount the night before)

    I was only out to do a few mounts for the video.

    There is also the 'Coker Suicide Mount'
