Do you always have one hand on the seat as your ride?

No, but some do.

Quoted message said:

Does it help to be able to jump with the seat out in front,
or it that just for trials?

I don't jump seat out, but it will help others.

Quoted message said:

Is it okay to just wear a helmet, or is it necessary to buy
all that extra protection stuff?

Your choice. I wouldn't MUni without shin and wrist armour.

Quoted message said:

Does anyone ever get flat tires? Is it something to
worry about?

Rarely. Personally I never had one (on a uni).

Quoted message said:

Are the 170mm cranks that come with the kh24 too long?

Matter of type of terrain and personal preference. I'm a fan
of long cranks.

Quoted message said:

Is the kh24 seat good enough or should I get an air seat?
(I really care about comfort.)

Good enough especially for MUni.

Quoted message said:

Are brakes a luxury or a necessity for intermediate muni?
Im guessing you have to be pretty advanced to need brakes.

Luxury.

Quoted message said:

How bad are gazzaloddi tires on pavement? Am I at a real
disadvantage with the Duro Wildlife Leopard 24x3?

If you plan to ride much on pavement, get the Duro. They're
cheaper too. Especially with a highish pressure, the Duro is
fine on pavement although for exclusive pavement use a
slicker tyre is much better.

Quoted message said:

Should I be concerned about the kh cranks coming loose?
Anything I can do to prevent it, since it seems to be a
fairly common problem?

No experience, others have written a lot about it. I think
antiseize is the answer.

Good luck,
