I think it's best (when learning anyway) to position the unicycle about
equidistant from the obstacle as the obstacle is high (i.e. if the
obstacle is 12" high, position the unicycle about 12" away from the
object with the cranks in the horizontal position that you use). Then
roll the unicycle backwards a few revolutions, enough that you can
gather some speed before you get to the object you're trying to jump
over. Mount the unicycle, ride towards the object, and then when you
get close enough to the object that you're trying to jump onto/over,
your pedals/cranks will be in the proper position to allow you to jump
on top/over it.

Hope this helps. I find that it does.




i disagree, just ride so that the pedals will line up in the vacinity
of the object and hop up it, it will become natural to jump from the
correct distance
