A skate mount is the same way you get onto a skateboard. I somehow learned how to transfer it to a unicycle and my BC. :smiley: :smiley:

5

I think it’s cool that you Aussies call everything a kangaroo hop!!! :smiley:

Thankyou :slight_smile:

Down here in Tassie it is a wallaby hop, or Eastern Grey hop. we are not privilidged enough to get Kangaroos.

Well in a way, freemounting is a skill because after you learn the basic version. There’s also the side mount, skate mount, etc. I don’t know how else to explain it. As for coasting i can coast, but only a fair distance b4 i need to put my feet back on the pedals.

Take care

I wonder how many stairs an average kangaroo can clear with a bit of training.

Edit: both up and down.

13

If Aussies are kangaroos, and Tassies are wallabys, I think the Aussies can hop higher.

14

uhhh Tassies are Aussies. We are the same country just different states.

15

I think i may have found my next unicycle. :smiley: :smiley:

i believe some kangaroos can hop a distance in excess of 10m, so i imagine they could clear A LOT of stairs.

my skills are-

mount with light pole

17

My next unicycle will definitely be a kangaroo :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

18
