This guy(Chris Huriwai) and his channel is a great reference. Although, I can only hope to ever master 5% of their talent.
Do you see what he is doing? (0:22)
a.) Simultaneously, sitting on the saddle and placing his "top foot"on pedal.
b.) Then place the other foot as everything is rolling “with stability”
What is amazing to me is that for a split second.
He is merely sitting on saddle without it squirting forwards or backwards!
He has perfectly “landed” his weight on the saddle and transferred his forward walking momentum, perfectly.
This is what I would like to achieve.
There is no “step” > “pause” > “go”.
Also, I’ve seen Jack Sebben do a “walking jump mount” that he calls a rolling mount.
This is my plan B. However, it’s 2 things at once. Jump mount + walking. Not ready for that yet.
My plan is probably to put on my knee pads, find flat grass area, and do this a few hundred times. Does anybody have a better method?

PS, ofcourse he has a very small “trials size” unicycle and when sitting during the walking mount, the unicycle barely “flips up”. That could be the advantage. Anything taller will “flip up” increasing difficulty.
