unicycles on stock

anyone able to consistant mount w/ stock torque?

I'm working on my timing but hell I can figure it out. it seems that no matter the variation, all i do is plow.

i'm using my right foot to jump while pullin bars, transferring weight to left foot on left peg. the bike starts to yak up, but i can't get past this step.

how do i approach this correctly? should i be leaning on the bars, then hopping up?

I'm trying to do the same thing with a stock setup. Been trying it for a few days now but I got the same result.

I start them with my right foot on the peg and my left foot on the ground and bring it right up to BP and get my left foot on the peg as quickly as possible. Don't put your weight on bike until you are up if that makes any sense and I don't put my wait on the bars because it gives you less control for circles, unless I am doing a really long straight one and need to change position.

So when are you coming back out to ride Big Mike??? Glad those pegs are working out for you. And as for Brewman, you forgot about second gear.
