you can jump higher without going to seat out. lowering the seat is one
good idea. another is to lower the pressure in your tube (assuming
you've got it at max psi). also, practice snapping the tire when
jumping. if you dont know what that means, basically the ideal method
is to push down extra hard as you jump and the bounce of the tire will
lift you higher in the air. when i was riding trials on my 24" i could
get 17" seat in before i started working on seat out.
i dont know your hopping ability, but practice doing brief stillstands
between each hop (maybe 1 second each). this is essential for hopping
higher because it will greatly help in setting up for hops.
i will also briefly mention air pressure in your tube. different people
prefer different pressures so test it out for yourself. keep in mind,
if you can bottom out (rim touches ground) from hopping in place then
you are too low. generally speaking, lower pressure is more bouncy and
will help if you are just learning trials while higher pressure is
needed for really high hops (>28"😉 and for natural trials where you will
be hopping on surfaces that are not flat. you should be able to find a
suitable pressure for yourself.
