I’ve always been fascinated by this trick as well as the side mount

[@JJ_Binks]

My favourite trick mount!

Thanks for the instruction adn demonstration.

[@magtiles2690]

Thanks for sharing this. Can you tell us the tyre diameter and crank length you used and whether changing these would make the mount easier or harder?

[@unicycledotcomuk]

The unicycle is a 20" Eclipse Unicycle and has 89mm cranks. The shortness of the cranks makes this trick considerably harder than doing it on longer cranks like 114 or 125mm.

This trick scares me. I'm afraid to try it. I don't want to fall Hard! It must be a mental block & fear stopping me.

[@unicycledotcomuk]

Try it with one on spotting you by holding your hand, once you have succeeded a few times you realise how save it is as it is a "stop" for the mount.

@@unicycledotcomuk The danger of this mount, as well as the side mount, is that you can damage the gonads.

[@unicycledotcomuk]

@@PsyShy When done properly as shown this mount and the side mount do not go any where near your "gonads", the saddle comes up against your inner thigh, you then sit down on the saddle as normal.
