Question about mounts

General
1

For the purposes of level testing are the following considered different
mounts?

  1. Jump mount where you hold the front of the
    seat with one hand, tilt the unicycle slightly back toward you and jump
    onto the pedals. (description borrowed from a recent Harper post)

  2. Same mount but landing (and riding away) on pedals with seat out in
    front.

Re: Question about mounts

Hi.

The Rulebook says “Each mount the rider uses for a level must be different.
Different can be defined as a totally different mount or a considerably
harder variation on the same mount.”

My guess is that this wouldn’t qualify as considerably harder, so I’d say it
wouldn’t count as a different mount. I don’t know for sure. Is it that much
harder?

Here’s what the Rulebook lists for mount suggestions for Level 3 and up:

back mount
rolling mount
side mount
floor mount
free jump mount
side jump mount
spin mount (180 degrees for Levels 5 and below; 360 degrees for Levels 6 and
up)
frog mount (mounting in floor mount position but jumping up into a jump
mount)
kick-up mount
hopping on wheel mount
pick-up mount
crank idle mount

The Standard Skill part of the Rulebook has some descriptions of these. Hope
that gives you some ideas!
