Mounting a kangaroo

NKahler · August 23, 2007, 3:29pm

I just switched the cranks around on my CX and i cant mount it

Is there a tutuorial or anything that shows how to mount a kangaroo?

Do you mean freemount?

NKahler · August 23, 2007, 4:08pm

Pretty much any mount

dunawan · August 23, 2007, 4:09pm

How can you not mount it? Get along side a fence and get on.

NKahler · August 23, 2007, 4:13pm

Well i can get on it, but i cant push off from the wall
The pedals are facing my back so i cant pedal forwards

You do know what a kangaroo is right>?

Yes.

I found a video on youtube showing “kangaroo mounting”, but I wouldn’t dare to post it here.

do you know how to ride and mount one footed? I would try mounting that way then put your foot down on the pedals.

NKahler · August 23, 2007, 5:05pm

That might work… I can ride one footed but i’ve never tried mounting 1 footed
Ill go try

Haha! Sorry, I can’t help but giggle at the subject name.

NKahler · August 23, 2007, 5:10pm

Lol, I didn’t notice it until after a while

Brian_O · August 23, 2007, 5:58pm

I don’t really want to go into detail but I’d just say follow his lead:

Actually more along the lines of this…

captain kangaroo!

NKahler · August 23, 2007, 6:43pm

Is anyone actually gonna tell me how to mount it? lol

I think the way I described is the only way cause you need the other foot to push off the ground to get momentum.
