Congratulations! If you want any tips on learning to ride check out www.unicycle.2ya.com . There’s a video tutorial on freemounting there too.

Good luck,
Andrew

similar experiences have happened to me. in every case (except for one, where the man was waaay too short to reach the pedals on my 24) the person was able to freemount and ride decently. also, in every case the person was very surprised by how “hardcore” unicycles have become. They remembered their old schwinns and now see 3" wide Gazzs and quarter inch pins on the pedals.
