Suicide mount

Not very but it's pretty usless to learn. Go for it you'll get it in
like 2 tries.

I can't do it (never tried) but it doesn't look like much of a step-up
from starting to learn unispinning (the jump mounting with the uni
already in the air).

There are a couple of nice example in the unicon XIII video. I've just
had aquicj rewatch and they are at 11:45 and 12:08

If you haven't got it it's here:

Darn. My prev msg got erased. Ok let me repeat.

Know what? He's right. It IS easier than you think. I managed to get it
with a success rate of 30-40% in about 30 min of learning (it could be
higher but I'm dead tired so if you've got stamina, it's way easier).
Here's some tips and how I learnt in chronological order.

I can jump mount sif to begin with almost perfectly with the
occassional slip. I started bracing myself for this by holding the uni
a few inches off the ground then jumping and landing the pedals. I did
this for about 5-10 minutes and ended up with a success rate of about
70%.

Next, I went through the motions of holding the uni horizontal, letting
go, jumping, then landing my weight on the seat. I practised by not
landing on the pedals at all so I can get a feel and build my guts.
When I'm comfortable, which really takes about 5 minutes as well, I
went for it. Of course, I bailed a couple of times before I finally got
brave enough to land a rough version of it.

I'm still not as smooth as the guy in the video but I guess that comes
with practice. The trick really looks a lot more intimidating than it
is so just go for it! For the record, I can't suicide on my 20" (I had
landed a few before on my 24" ironically) because I've no guts and I
can't unispin so neither are requirements.

Ok, this trick is, as everyone is saying, very easy if you just have the
guts. It is a variation of several mounts of this variety. If you get
this from ground level, then move to a curb and so on. There a few
shots of this in the Koxx video archives. People run at bus benches and
picnic tables and then launch onto thier uins. It looks very ompressive
and scary to your friends, but in reality, it isn't all the hard.

I *still* lack the guts to do a regular flying jump mount from a bench
though which goes to show how easy this really is. The difficulty is
really to get your feet to be brave.

i can do that mount... its actually easy if u have balls... abit like
the jump mount or suicide mount... its all about jumping at the right
moment with enough power... and good position... nothing very hard....
it actually took me like 2-3 attempts...

HEY THATS ME!!!!!!!
that isn't a good example of the trick, you should start w/the unicycle
sideways and start to drop it when you jump... then just keep your eyes
on the cranks and push your heel/toes (depending on what side and where
the cranks are positioned) against the frame... don't be afraid to land
it ... the landing is kind of hard when you do it off stuff.
I came up w/ another new mount the other day, but I have some pretty
gashes in my leg from attempting it, and im waiting for an excuse to
make a new video to release it or w/e ... it might already be done

yeah, it is pretty hard. I highly suggest wearing shinguards of some
kind as it is 2x as hard
i rarely do them, unless I am showing off an extra lot
