Re: Seat in front jump

[James_Potter]

Since there's a thread about seat in front hops, I'll ask my question:
When I hop seat in front, I hold it with two hands. I can't balance at
all if I use both hands. And when I hop, my torso is in the way. What am
I doing wrong?

Try holding the seat closer to your body, it helps keep you stable.
Oh, and I raised my seat, going to test it now.

while I was testing this new seat height, my tire started making a
hissing noise, right after a jump.
So, now I have to fix my tire.

Wear longish freestyle riding shorts over your bike shorts. The heavy
fabric and friction-free interface will protect your legs.
