The main improvement with the video would have been posting it a couple of months earlier.
By far the best freemount explanation I have ever seen.
I have just managed to get a freemount working using exactly this technique which I worked out for myself. I was thinking that I should try to explain it with a diagram and the force arrows but you have done it so much better in a video.
This is exactly where I started after seeing a video about practicing jumping up onto blocks without crushing a paper cup under the stationary foot.
Part of the problem with that technique is that uni is free to move about while you leap making it hard to hit the other pedal. Then when you do hit, the sudden change of forces can take you anywhere unless you get everything exact.
The force balancing technique effectively wedges the uni in position. Moreover the forces in the leap transfer the weight naturally from the foot on the pedal to the seat.
The exact speed of the jump is not as critical. Jumping harder just gets you up faster rather than taking you too far. As such the technique tends to automatically result in a static mount. I have tried hard to jump past this point to get some forward lean so I get moving. I find it is next to impossible
Consequently the technique requires the rider to be able to balance momentarily in the stationary position. My success in the mount has come with this ability.
What is now beginning to work is the ability to ride backwards which is encouraged by the mounts that just don’t quite make it to the static posiiton. I had never gotten anywhere with the mount that uses the downward force on the pedal to move the uni backwards but that is now coming too.
Definitely recommend this technique as the first way to freemount for any new rider.
