The Rolling Mount

1. The rolling mount is basically just a quick no roll-back standard mount. There are two ways to do a standard mount. One is to roll the wheel back 1/2 turn and take off. For the second, you turn the pedal back a slight amount and the other foot goes directly to the opposing pedal (you don't roll the wheel back more than a quarter turn). The latter mount is the basis to the rolling mount. Practice doing this mount very quickly.
2. When you are comfortable with the quick no roll-back standard mount, try taking a step and then do the mount. You will start with the mounting pedal (the pedal your foot hits first) down, and as you take a step forward, the pedal will come up towards you. The hard part is timing it so your foot hits the pedal at the instant it is in the correct position. Practice taking one step, then two, etc until you can walk forward at a decent pace and jump on without stopping. For a slow rolling mount, I usually start with the mounting pedal 1/2 turn in front of where I will actually mount it (horizontal and facing forward). This allows a step or a step and a half before the pedal is in the correct position. For a fast mount, it takes a couple wheel rotations to get up speed.
3. Pretty soon you'll be running like crazy and jumping on the uni at full speed!

Notes and Hints

1. The rolling mount is very useful, especially for mountain unicycling. You can use this mount to re-mount after you fall off on a hill.
2. I learned how to do a running mount after I learned to mount a big wheel. The only way to mount a big wheel is to do a rolling mount, and it seems to be easier on a big wheel. The rolling mount is also fairly easy to adapt to giraffes, which is a real crowd pleaser! Just be careful, running mounts put tons of stress on the giraffe.
3. One variation that I've been practicing lately is doing a rolling mount with a spin, so you run forward and end up riding backwards - lots of fun, but results in some really nasty crashes!!
