Riding with no seat

[Orphaneater]

I see people doing this all of the time, they hold the seat out in front
of them while they pedal. Now, when I try this, I usually end up
bruising my leg, because whenever I put weight on the pedal, the seat
jets in the same direction. What am i doing wrong?
I know its pretty basic, but I suck. Meh.

Be firmer with your grip on the seat.

Also, you just need to practice. No one was perfect at it first time
they tried. With practice, your pedaling will get smoother.

But yeah, a firm grip can't hurt. Oh, and it also helps to start out my
holding the seat out, but pressing it against your leg to keep it
steady.
