  1. Some of you might remember I broke my arm trying silly things a while
    ago... I got on my uike again for the first time last night... All I can
    say is, if it does that, I need to break my arm again - I got on and the
    first thing I did was ride one footed in a figure of 8, (yayness).

    One thing I still couldn't get consistent was saddle out - My saddle is
    quite low, so I had it pressed against my favourite foot leg. I seem to
    be able to get about 4 revs and then always loose it because I can't
    hold the saddle in place, anyone got any tips?

    "rest and elevation" we know its all we'll be told, so why do we still

    It's all in your feet. That is, when you get better your hand/arm won't
    be doing much. So think about easing the pressure on the seat with your
    hand. Your legs and feet will have to work a little harder and get a
    little smarter.

    The logical extension of this is when you do seat drags where it's all
    legs and no pressure on the seat at all.
