Reverse Mount
Does anyone do this mount? Here is the description from 'unicycling.org' (http://www.unicycling.org/unicycling/mounts/) : Stand in front of the unicycle with the seat underneath you. Put one foot on the lower pedal. Step back and up so that the unicycle is underneath you. The motion will be similar to idling once you are up. My problem is that it seems so awkward holding the seat with the uni behind me. I can occasionally do it successfully, but I wonder if it is impressive enough to spend the time mastering. -- grey - George Kleinert "The feeling is weird - sort of like learning to use a single-wheel prosthetic device to keep the earth away." - cyberbellum ------------------------------------------------------------------------ grey's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4330 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29292 |

You're right, it does feel awkward at first having the unicycle out behind you. But I'm sure you remember it also feels awkward learning to ride the thing in the first place! With a little practice, it gets smoother and the awkward feeling goes away. I wouldn't say it's all that impressive, however, if you can master it, it can be used as another mount for the next skill level. Every little thing that you learn helps improve your riding skills overall, reverse mount included. -- toddw9 - Gettin better at it by the day ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toddw9's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4466 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29292 |

I do it to. Not very impressive, particularly not to non-unicyclists. I agree with everything *toddw9* said. -- duaner - - duaner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ duaner's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4297 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29292 |
