Just to give you a background of my experience, I have practiced for a
total of about 14 hours spread out over time. The longest distance
I've ridden was 1/5th of a mile unassisted on a Torker CX 24" unicycle.
I'm still getting the hang of riding and I can ride along my street
and turn around the perimeter of my cul-de-sac, but I'm getting tired
of walking over to a mailbox and pushing off. It's time for me to learn
to free-mount.
How long did it take you to learn to free-mount and then ride a couple
feet? Also, did you use any shin guards? Did you get any really
painful shin impact from your pedals while learning? My first couple
of attempts to free-mount have resulted in my second foot getting on
the second pedal, but my pedals lock in the 6 and 12 o'clock positions
and it's hard to move forward. Any suggestions? BTW, you can call me
Philip.
