Do u guys pull the seat up when u jump?

if you want to jump high. try SIF (seat in front) you can jump heaps
higher and you don't have to grab onto the handle so there is also less
stress.

I was doing a wheelie on my bike and figured why not buy a unicycle.

For very high stuff you almost have to yank the handle, it keeps your
feet attached to the pedals. If your worried about snapping seatposts
either go for a CrMo post, or as others have said try SIF. Its harder
to learn but gets you further in the long run.

Mosts basic handles and seatbases are an easy brake when you put lots of
force on them.

My friend Phil, went to rolling hop up a 4-set, and just tore the seat
right off, it waws a KH saddle with a fusion cover.

You may want to consider in a better seatpost, and seat bases\handles.
Theres the Thompson seat post, that I have never heard of breaking, and
is very light, but can be expensive, on-line, you can get lucky and
find them for a decent price, from $20 - $50. There is aslo another
seat post, that is very strong, but very heavy, I forgot the name of
it, I think its a Primo seat post, that cost about 15 dollars.

Seatbases, you can upgrade your seatbase to a Carbon Fiber set-up, with
a CF handle, but that runs up to a very high price, but its
top-of-the-line. You can also just upgrade your seat stifner plate, or
even make your own.

Or, like has ben said a lot already, start going SIF, it lets you tuck
way more, just take some practice to get used to. Just raise your seat
up a little more and start going for it.

make sure your legs are in a crouched position then pull up on the
handle. It takes practise to get get the timing right

When done correctly, your feet are rising at exactly the same rate as
the unicycle, leaving your handle to bear only the weight and momentum
of the unicycle itself. Concentrate on making the unicycle
"weightless" every time you hop. If you feel pressure on the pedals or
the handle, it's an indication that your timing needs work.

This isn't something that's easy to nail down, but it's part of what
sets the jaw-dropping hops apart from the clumsy stiff looking ones.

do as I say, not as I do,
