Re: Giraffe and Multiwheel step-up mount

[Fraggle]

Can you running mount your giraffe? I worked a festival last weekend,
and the running mount got a great reaction from the festival goers. I'm
learning to do a running mount on my 2 wheeler later on today. Well, I
say I'm learning, I tried a couple of times, and it's easier to get
onto a 2 wheeled unicycle than it is to get on a giraffe because a 2
wheeler isn't as tall as the giraffe. Getting your head round doing a
running mount and pedaling forward to bring the uni to you then
pedaling backwards, it's wierd, but it's surprisingly do-able.

Oh, and I posted a couple of vids of me on the 2 wheeler for the first
time in 5 months, they are in your other thread. After such a break
from the 2 wheeler, I picked it up quite well.

I wasn't good at it till I worked the festival, many idiots in the way,
so I had to dismount a lot. This lead to a fair bit of practise of
running mounts, on the grass too with ruts everywhere, got it nailed
now.

In that thread I linked to, John Foss warns about the extra stress it
puts on your frame.
Just thought I'd point it out.
