i dont think you could free mount that…you are to short…im not even sure if its possible to freemount a giraffe…
yes it is … http://www.unicycletips.com/
it is under videos and it has tips good luck
Thats awesome!
is there anyone who has run into this problem before??
I can freemount my girraffe about one in four times. I had to go to a workshop and have Connie show me how.
The Tutorial Skrobo Posted is good. If you have trouble doing the static mount like the guy in the video does it, try putting first foot on the tire second one the pedal and then the first one on the other pedal.
Congratulations on getting the girraffe, and good luck freemounting it!
thanx ill try the static but the rolling mount i cannot do i cant jump that high im just too short lol

I can freemount my giraffe in one-two tries and im not the tallest person. i just step on the pedal that im comfortable and push up.
I plan on ordering a Torker TX from amazon.com
are they fun?
i can suicide mount a 5’ giraffe and i am only 5’5"…
I am 4’ 9" and I can (almost) freemount my giraffe two different ways, and I have a bloody schwinn giraffe. height doesn’t make much of a difference.
Judging by your avatar your doing REALLY well!
There was a kid at NAUCC who was around 5 feet tall that could rolling mount a 5 footer like it was nothing. I rode a 5 footer for the first time tonight and afterward we were all discussing how awsome this kid was. Just keep practicing!
I have been able to roll mount a giraffe for a long time. I think when I learned it the giraffe was as tall or taller than I was.
I think most 5’ tall giraffes that have the seat as high as it should be are as tall as you.
so when I get my TX put the seat to the top of my head?
I have had the TX from the lowest it can be, to the highest the seat can be.
I’m not sure if any seat height will make it easier to mount.
I am still working on free mounting my giraffe. i have tried a few different mounts but a couple of them i have been doing wrong
