  1. I think I may have invented a new mount today when I started wondering
    if all possible mounts had been invented already.
    The mount is not that difficult, but possibly wierdest looking mount
    ever done.
    If anyone wants to try anyway, here is how you do it:

    Starting position:
    Left foot on left pedal. Pedal in bottom position
    Knees slightly bent
    seatpost resting on calf just behind the right knee
    Palms on floor.

    (I told you it would look wierd)

    Lift right foot onto the pedal.
    Walk backwards with your hands until you are in a crouching seat on side
    position.
    Quickly stand up and start riding seat in back or seat on side.
    Get seated.

    Has this been done before?
    Why?

  2. I saw Floyd Crandall do this one at the 1981 National Unicycle Meet.

    But he cheated, and used one with a really low seat.

    Some call this a "floor mount," meaning you start from a facedown
    position on the floor.
