    Yes you can loose some ability: now I cannot freemount my Coker any more
    🙁
    no way!
    I know most of this is Psych. so I need to set my head correctly
    first.
    for this I watch videos with Coker free-mounting .... but I need slow
    motion to understand what is really happening . anyway to have that?

    (btw looking intensely at such details have shown me strange details:
    for instance MuniAddict your front pedal goes slightly backwards before
    your foot
    is set properly; I am wondering if that does not put some shock on your
    foot.
    On another vid. -was it by jester?- the pedals remain horizontal and
    the foot
    that hits first point downwards ... I think it is interesting ....)

    I know some of you are going to answer : train, and train, and train
    again.... except this is going the other way... the more I train the
    more I am unable to succeed.:o I have had such bouts previously and
    recovered but now ... I am really sad.

    Hey, I have my coker out being borrowed by a friend, but Ill get it back
    soon and make a short for you. The slow motion will look something like
    'this' (

    ).

    Are you trying a static mount or do you walk with the uni and try to
    mount in a movement?

    If you've already got mounting videos, VLC will play pretty much any
    video file, except maybe quicktime, and will slow it down for you.

    It's kind of fiddly to use, but does the job.

    If you use Firefox you can get the VideoDownloader plugin which will
    allow you to download YouTube videos. You will need to save the file
    with a .flv extention. VLC can then play the file. You cannot however
    forward or rewind the video.

    Save the video and open it with Windows Movie Maker (If you have
    Windows) and add the slow motion effect.

    ... MuniAddict your front pedal goes slightly backwards before your

    is set properly; I am wondering if that does not put some shock on your
    foot.

    Hmm, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I mount my coker in various ways,
    but the most common for me is just to quickly jump on and go. When I do
    the jump up mount (not to be confused with the "suicide mount"😉 my
    right foot hits the pedal just a split second before my left, then I
    just start pedalling forward.

    Have you tried the "rolling" mount? That's probably the easiest since
    you already have some momentum by the time you get up on the saddle. I
    just push the uni forward 'till it's moving at a good walking pace,
    then when the cranks are right I just step up, on and go. Also, the
    rolling momentum of the wheel actually helps to 'lift" you up onto the
    saddle.

    I know I have to practice with just the right momentum: if I get "up"
    to quickly I suffer from orthostatic ("black veil" on your head when
    you go up too quickly).
    I also often miss the exact position of the pedal.
    I don't give up but it's the third of fourth time I am despaired by
    loosing the capacity to freemount big wheels - I even have problems now
    with the 29er-
    That you can "loose" a skill is something that puzzles me. (though my
    riding is getting better all the time).

    As terry said, the rolling mount seems to be the best for you.
    Start walking and think about catching the pedal when its about 45°
    from the vertical position (when it's going upward).
    place your foot on the pedal, _switch_brain_off_... that's it😉
    ...I know you love to ride with the saddle tilted upward, you might
    want to tilt it to a more horizontal position just to make your
    freemounting easier. When you get more confortable/consistant with it
    you'll be able to switch back to it's optimal position.
    Hope this helps😉

    Oh, wait a moment.. Now, recall that youtube has rubbish quality.
    Slowing down rubbish quality videos is of *no* use.

    So it's way better to slow down a video -before- uploading it to
    youtube.
    Especially when Jerrick offered to do it. And Terry loves making videos
    so
    I think he could easily be presuaded to make one as well 😉

    And as for myself I'd also be happy to see those videos because I'm
    still rubbish at freemounting cokers.

    cheers,
