  1. If I ever got the necessary supplies I would. I have a hard time holding
    the seat while doing sif trials. That's actually the deciding reason of
    why I don't do sif as much as I would. Has anybody ever seen a home
    made one. Do you think it'd even be possible? Have you ever thought of
    making one?

  2. a piece of plastic or rubber tubing is more than sufficient. slide it
    over the lip o the saddle to produce a nice curvey handle holder
    doofer.
    only really needed for carbon fibre bases (the have much finer edges).
    have you tried using a different saddle? Kh Fusion (the new low profile
    version) are nice for sif and same with the UDC or Koxx-one gel saddles

  3. I've gone through a few saddles. My latest one being the udc (now
    nimbus) gel saddle and I don't really like it either.

  4. you can get sif trials grips on a scott wallis de-rail base. they work
    great...considering 98% of the time i'm riding with my seat out in
    front of me.

    And more product info 'here'
    (http://www.wallisdesign.com/HANDLEpics.html)
    Just be aware that it's going to be on the expensive side compared to
    other seats.

    thanks john!

    yeah, it's a bit expensive, but worth it...i went through a regular
    seat, so i decided to go carbon, instead of going through more
    regular/stock seats.

  9. yeah, i'd say that it's worth every cent. i busted 2 kh saddles (one
    fusion, on standard) and then bought the CF. I'd get a scott wallis if
    it werent for the high shipping fees getting things to NZ

  10. i think a viscount has a great feel seat out. but the wallis seat is
    probably much better.

  11. If you are having trouble with a normal kh or fusion (fusion is easier
    to fix, then I would suggest taking some half inch tubing that is
    somewhat flexible, cutting about a 5-6 inch long strip and cutting down
    the middle so that it is now able to slip onto the seat base. Pull the
    cover up so that the base is visible and put the tube on over it. I
    would also suggest that you put something either inbetween the tube and
    the base or ontop of the tube as the tube by itself, although midly
    more comfy I find still gives my bruises.

    I will probably post pics of how to do this later tonight if people
    want them.

  15. I think a side handle would screw the balance way up, and be in the way
    when normaly riding.

    You're 14, so you probably have small hands. Try a viscount seat, and
    if that doesn't work just wait until you grow more?

    Post the pictures. I want 'em.

    Whoever told me I probably had small hands, I have been told I have
    huge hands by my classmates and parents. I have bigger hands than alot
    of older kids.

  20. I dont see how this would be a bad idea, have you seen
    freestlye\flatland bike seats? for bikes, they have groves cut out and
    rounded out for where you would put your hand for tricks, just aplply
    that to the side of a unicycle seat.
