That reminds me: I've been meaning to ask a question about kick-up
mounts.

I have my freestyle seat set fairly high. High enough that hopping is
difficult and I have to stand on my toes to transition to/from seat
out. Attempts at kick-up mounts have proven somewhat dangerous as the
seat seems to aim straight for the boys. Needless to say, I haven't
been working this skill much.

So I am wondering if it is just lack of technique on my part, or is a
lower seat needed for a safe kick-up mount.

Ken

higher seat is much easyer because you are standing up, and i usualy
have my seat way low for street and if i stand up it pops out.

More on kick up mounts. I ride with my seat relatively low, so that is
not a problem. However, I can't actually get my foot on the pedal
correctly so I am able to force the seat up and under my foot. I've
watched videos and I think I understand the theory behind it, but I just
can't quite get it.

Specifically, a question I have is where should the pedal that my foot
be going on be? Should it be "up high", meaning as close to the seat as
possible, or should it be "down low"? Any help?

Agreed! However, not _like_ the funnest mount ever, but _is_ the
funnest mount ever. All other funnest mounts are like a kickup mount.

*where should the pedal that my foot be going on be?*

Wherever it ends up. I shoot for the crank, so no matter where the
pedal is I'll hit something attached to my uni. That'll increase your
chance of "sticking" the mount and riding off.

Funny thing is, I usually end up riding off backwards from a kickup
mount, not always intentionally... must be the orientation of my wheel
whilst the uni's still on the ground.

I don't actually ride backwards when doing the kickup mount, but I sort
of go into an idle, pedal backwards half a revolution then start going
forwards. kinda like a rollback mount I s'pose.... it's just because of
the position the cranks are in when you start. I think.
