I just wrote about this a couple days back in a different thread. I'll
just copy and paste what I wrote there, here.

For seat-in-front practice, just ride around with the seat out in front
of you.

Try not to let the seat push against your legs, but just brush up
against your legs. Relax your arm that's holding onto your seat. Put
only as much pressure as you need to hold onto it. Use your other arm,
that's not holding the seat, for balance.

As you get better, trying riding seat-in-front up hills, down hills,
backwards, turning both directions. You can also try to ride forward,
and see how far you can hold the seat out in front of you. The more you
practice, and comfortable you get with seat-out riding, you'll be able
to hold the seat really far out in front of you while riding.

I'm so comfortable riding seat-out, that it sometimes feels weird
riding seat-in. As a matter of fact, I rarely do anything trials
seat-in, anymore.

I suggest you get comfortable sif riding, before you start sif hopping,
which is called jumping. But, practice hopping seat in, in the
meantime, since it involves similar techniques and principles.

the wobble is coming because you are not used to applying even pressure
on the pedals. With practise it is possible to reduce this to pretty
much zero.
