it's easier to jump with it low to a certin point then it actually
become less of a help, because you have to bend down to much to get the
handle and it hurts your back. I have it set so its about 2-3 inches
lower then the reomended seat hight of full leg exstention

P.S. welcom to the forums!!

welcome!

it really dependson whether you're jumping seat in front or seat in.
for seat in the seat should be a little lower than normal riding
height, but for seat in front most people prefer it higher to make it
easier to hold. a good middle ground is just something you need to
experiment with.

Ive got my trials so that when i stand on the pedals when theyre
horizontal ive got about 5-6inches between my crotch and the
seat...That allows me some room to pull up on the seat as well as some
room to scrunch up when i land, but isnt to low to hold comfortably.

well, ideally, you could move the seat height when you change jumping
styles, but thats a hassle, so you really just mess with it until its
easy to jump both ways.

It depends, if your strictly a SIF rier, have the seat higher, it makes
it a lot easier to tuck the uni and it wont straing your back with
pulling on a lower seat.

If you do a lot of seat-in and then have it lower so you can tuck it
more while its still between your legs.

If you do a little of both and a lot of rolling hops, get it somewhere
in the midle so it works both ways.

I keep my saddle as low as it will go, there is only about 6 inches
between it and the seat post clamp. I think most people like to ride
theirs a bit higher though.

I ride with mine really low but thats because I am trying a new seat
height and seeing if it helps because I ride both SIF and seat in.

I have mine to where when I'm syanding on the pedals at horizontal, I
can stand straight up and still have the handle in my hand. Its low
enough to give room and high enough to where I'll never have to bend
over to reach the handle.

I don't do much seat in front.
