Okay, this may have been covered before, but i haven't found it in the tutorials section. And I think my way is pretty easy.
I just learnt to free mount about 10 minutes ago, so I think I still know what I did. It took me about 3 tries before it worked. (15min.)
First learn to idle... ( this is what I did anyway, this is not included in the 15 minutes :p )
Then, find a nice soft spot of grass...
1. Place the seat between your legs, have the peddals horizontal.
2. Hold on to the handle ( or the front of the seat if no handle )
3. Jump onto the peddals. ( Sounds realy easy and well....it is. )
If you fall, the grass provide enough friction to prevent the uni from shooting under you and if things realy go bad.. well I did tell you to find a soft spot of grass didn't I? :rolleyes:
Now, practice this untill you can get on the peddals without falling.
Then, instead of having the seat between your legs, hold it before you but not yet vertical. Again try to jump on the peddals. This shouldnt be very hard if the previous steps worked.
Now, hold the seat vertical and free mount.
When you feel comfortable free mounting on grass, take it to the street and try it there. I recomend first trying it with the seat between you legs. This way you'll feel how the uni will react on concrete. After an couple of practice mounts you should be able to realy free mount.
The freemount may seem very hard at first, but it's actualy quite easy. It's mostly just having the guts to jump up there.
I hope this helps... if anything is unclear, feel free to ask me for a better explanation.
Enjoy !
