Side Mounts

Hi

I’m relatively new here.

I’ve just taught myself how to do a side mount from the instructions on
the webpage.

My question is about doing this mount with your foot around the seat twice or
three times:

" Side Put your left foot on the left pedal and hold the seat in your hand.
Move your right foot between your left leg and the unicycle. Swing it around
the front of the seat, put the seat underneath you, and your right foot on
the pedal.

side mount with foot around twice Like the side mount, but your foot makes an
extra trip around the seat.

side mount with foot around 3X Like the side mount, but your foot makes an
extra two trips around the seat. "

Having never seen anyone do these mounts, what do you do with your hand that is
on the seat when your foot comes around behind the cycle ?

Foot over the hand ? or Hand off the seat ? or something else.

Thanks
