  1. What possible ways are there to mount the 29"? The only one I've done
    successfully is the rolling mount, a static mount seems to end up as a
    rolling mount because of the height.

    Thanks much

  3. Kick-up
    Leg-around
    One-foot spin mount
    Side jump
    Regular jump
    Suicide jump
    Swing-up

    There's a few. Haven't actually tried them all on a 29" but I'm sure I
    could get them within 5 minutes. Some I've done on my 45".

    No, not the kick-up.

  4. I'm quite happy with the roll back mount that I do on most of my unis.

    I think you mean the -roll back- mount, don't you? You try a static
    mount but have to step on the back pedal a little and so the wheel
    rolls back. If a 29er is tall for you, you might consider trying a jump
    mount or a variation of one. I have done a rolling jump mount (not roll
    back) on a Coker ever since the first time I tried one. I find it
    really easy for the big boy.

  7. Suicide mounts on 36ers are fun (but somewhat scary if you fall)

  9. hah, cool. Thanks for the replies. Yes, I was referring to the rollback
    mount.

    I tried the static mount last night, it wasn't too bad, I got the hang
    of it after a few tries. I was under the impression that it was truly
    static (Wheel doesn't move until I'm on top) but I guess that the
    unicycle is too big so it will have to move a little.

    Thanks for the help, now to move on to idling.
