Mount?

General

I recently, stumbled upon this newsgroup and I have a question that has been
nagging me for years.

I have been unicyling for over twenty-five years. My first unicycle was given to
me when I was in the second grade and I used to ride it all over. I am quite
competent at getting on and off of it no matter the circumstances. When I was
eitghteen I got a six footer, and I have never been able to get up on the thing
without being next to something, my truck, ladder, etc. Once on it I am pretty
proficient, and can ride forward, backward, rock back and forth, etc. Can anyone
tell me the technique to use to mount this thing without the aid of a ladder???

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Chuck
