Easyier said than done. I have tried seat pushes/drags quite a bit but
almost never can make more than about 3 quarters of a rev. Im pretty
good at hopping SIF though (well I can hit 90cm pretty easy) I can
however ride backwards SIF quite wel and can easily ride forward SIF.
I tell people that there is little point learning to hop SIF untill you
can hit 50-60cm SI. This is because I believe the techniques for SI and
SIF hopping at that hight are very similar. Learning to hit 60 SI helps
you develop the controll that you need for SIF. Higher than 50-60ish,
even with a low seat, I think you start to get limeted abit by not
being able to add as much tuck. If you turn to SIF now you should find
your overal controll is better, that you will pick up SIF pretty quick
and that with the extra tuck you can get you will be able to add more
hight to your side hops.
Also having a good SI hop as well as a good SIF hop is very useful so
why not train your SI sidehop for those times when you realy need it?
