Free Mounting a 6 Foot Unicycle

Video Transcript

"So, this is how to free mount a giraffe unicycle. It's a very difficult trick. You're going to make sure that you're very well-versed in riding the giraffe. That you've practiced, that you're comfortable, you know what you're doing, and you really feel mentally prepared to take on a trick of this stature. Make sure that your pant leg is rolled up so you don't get it caught in the chain. Okay, you're going to want to put it at about ten o'clock, make sure this pedal is a little bit further away, and this pedal is a little bit further back. And then you're going to take your right leg and put it underneath the right tire. So you have it underneath there, you grab onto the top--I like to hold it right here--so it's all steady, it's ready to go, I bring my foot up, and I put it here in the cruch of the giraffe. When you first start doing this, try to find a walkway where there's grass on each side. So just in case you freak out and bail out, you go on the grass. Now the same thing with going backwards is that if you're going to fall on the giraffe, fall forward. Try to over-compensate when you get up and over it, fall forwards. Really try to avoid going backwards. It could be bad news. Basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to jump up and I'm going to put my left foot on here, bring my bottom half over the top, grab here, and idle before I lose my balance. Again, very dangerous. Make sure you first try this maybe on grass or you first try this somewhere where you're really not going to get hurt. You've got to be a little nuts to do it, but trust me, it'll really blow their socks off if you do this in a show, or if you do this in front of people. It's really a very cool trick. There it is. And the dismount. And that, guys, is how you free mount a giraffe unicycle."
