dismounts

Leaves the saddle

Dismounts is the plural of dismount, a noun naming the act of getting off something you've been riding or hanging from.

In gymnastics, the dismount is the final move off the apparatus—often the most dramatic part of a routine: She stuck both dismounts perfectly.

The verb dismount means to get down from a horse, bike, or similar: The cavalry dismounted and continued on foot.
