Irony

On an earlier post I said I adjusted the seat alittle bit below the
waist. Never mind that. I have my seat a little bit below the crotch of
my pants, so I have more leverage to pull up to get a higher jump.

Is that with one leg fully extended and the cranks vertical? (If not,
then what?)

Thanks,

Yes, how rude of you to be only 14! Please come back when you're in your
thirties.



In other words, you don't get to pick your height or age. You can like
it, or not like it, but you're stuck with it either way. Liking it is
more fun. Use it while you've got it! That refers to time, youth, and
youthful energy!

Sorry, no tips to offer on seat-out hopping, which I have no particular
skill at. Watch videos of the best riders, I guess. And try to land on
something other than that one finger next time!

To duaner.:

My seat is adjusted a little bit below the crotch of my pants
when I am standing straight up. With seat-out with the cranks
horizontal. (hopping position)

Not for me. I once was 14 and 5'5" too. Through years of hard work I
managed to become 50 and 6'1". So keep trying sabin_a, it IS possible!

You all are too tall. When I was 14 I was a little less than 5' tall.
And now I'm twenty and 5'8". And I probably won't grow anymore. From now
on I just have to lift weights to become as wide as I can. Eating to get
wide is the other option but I probably won't do that.
