The official name is jump mount as you can read at the standard skills list (no.
205a). But there are lots of names beeing in use. Some examples I’ve already
heard: suicidal mount, mount a la John Wayne, horse mount and so on. I prefer
simply jump mount. And most other unicyclists I know do as well.

No. The first one is called jump mount (no. 205a as mentioned above), the name
of the second one is free jump mount (no. 205b).
