second and third mounts

I've been looking at the 'skill levels'
(http://www.unicycling.org/iuf/levels/), and I realized that I'm not too
far from accomplishing level 3 (now beginning my 5th week of riding!
). Could I get some suggestions for second and third 'mounts'
(http://www.unicycling.org/unicycling/mounts/) to learn? I'm not sure
where to start.

I learned them in this order:
1. Static mount (and roll-back mount) with strong foot
2. Side mount
3. Jump mount
4. Static mount (and roll-back mount) with weak foot
5. Rolling mount

They are all reasonably easy though, so you can learn them in any order.
The jump mount is a lot easier than you think it is. I'm sure it will
take you about 30 seconds to learn. If you are too scared, put the
front of the wheel against a curb so that it doesn't roll forward when
you go to jump. Make sure the pedals are horizontal and jump. Easy.

From the USA site:
For Level 3 and above, riders may not count their dominant and
non-dominant side as different mounts.

The general idea for skill levels, is that the dominant foot represents
level 1, and the non-dominant foot can be used for level 2. After that
your mounts have to be significantly different variations of each other,
or completely different mounts, to count. Also, static and rollback
mounts both count as "regular" or "standard" mounts. The next one I'd
recommend learning after that is a side mount.

But..

Are you level three, when you have made level two done?
I thought you were level two when you had made all the things in level
two untill you progressed to level three.

You have to finish all the skills required in a level so you're not
level 3 untill you complete all the skills in level 3. So when you are
working on level 4 your are still a level 3 going on 4.
