Ugh... Free-Mount Practice

I ran across this video on you tube:

YouTube - Off-Road
Unicycle Riding : Unicycle Riding: One Rotation Forward & One-Half
Back

This woman has a series of instructional videos that I have found
helpful. It is not the point of the video, but she uses an odd
grab-the-wheel mount that looks effortless. I was intrigued so I tried
in on a 29". After a few times it worked. I then tried it on a brand
new 36", which I had never free-mounted before, and it worked in the
first few tries! The trick is to roll forward and let the wheel move
before grabbing it and stepping up. I think the advantage over my
static mounts is that it puts me in a good balanced position over the
wheel so that I am ready to roll.

Is this a very common mount? Do many of you use it?
