Mount not listed on list of mounts

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.

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!

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?? :D

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.

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.

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