It's a little more specific, I think the patent is about:

mounting either an air or ground mount
when riding the air mount, going close to the ground transforms it into the ground mount and you keep riding it

But that's still something multiple games have done in some way I think.

I think Joust did this first. Difference might be that the player is permanently mounted all the time.
