good stats on the freemount!

i haven't landed the running yet
i do have a couple of thoughts for u to chew on and hopefully for ben to comment on when he gets here

yeah, the tyre skids on smooth floors
it feels better on a rougher surface
watch that u dont rely too much on the tyre 'biting' as opposed to u jumping
walk the steps back from where u want to mount so u know the pedal is going to be in the perfect position
this also helps u determine how many steps u r going to take before u go fo it (i have walked clear across parking lots thinking 'next time it comes around'!)
work out how and where u want to 'carry' the seat so that u can aquire your seat before jumping without getting yourself all confused
what worked best for me was to sort out the whole thing in my head and then, as u mentioned, just go for it
i got as far as being on the machine a couple of times
i never managed the three pedal revolutions and then a tendon injury locked the giraffe in the garage



i should be back on it in about two weeks time

have fun
