Ok I will try to help. I think many things will be intimidating at
first.
Are you going to try it seat out or in. I personally think it is easier
to do it seat out but that is my personal preference. I have saw people
do it seat in though. I think it is easier seat out to balance when you
are up there. YOu will need to at least be able to hop on to something
about 10" high that way your tire won't be touching the ground. I don't
even know if that helped any. Also search the forums for crank grabs,
you might find something. Hope this helps. KElly.

- Yes
- See below.

- Just jump up on a ledge or something and land with all your weight on
the appropriate crank. The ledge doesn't have to be high, just high
enough so you're off the ground. Keep doing this until you feel
comfortable with it. Then when you're ready, bend way forward at the
waist, bend yor knees, lean slightly inward and pop straight up, pulling
the uni with you. You don't have to worry about leaning in too much
because with all your weight on the inward crank, when you jump the uni
comes that way. It just takes practise.

Edit: Kelly posted before me but he/she (sorry) makes a good point. When
you are hanging and you feel like you're gonna fall (if you're doing it
seat in) pull out the seat and you can balance easier. When you're
balanced and ready to hop just stick it back in.

Help yourself! I'd leave the first two lines out, because outside this
thread they probably wouldn't make sense.
