High drops

Seat in. You need to land and then
WHOOPS! accidentally clicked submit too early. Lemme start over.
You need to land and then real quick start pedaling to roll out as soon
as you hit the ground.

To a transition/slope of any kind, seat in is definitely better, as its
more stable.

SIF to flat is fine, but you've gotta have good control over SIF
riding. You can absorb a little bit of impact by tucking your body down
upon landing.

But seat-in to flat is very good, just have a low enough seat that you
can squat your body a tiny bit upon landing. One problem I see, is
people complaining that dropping or hopping seat-in feels [censored] (but at
the same time they have a seat that's ridiculously high).

the biggest drops to flat have been seat-in as well, so...

But at the same time, I guess in trials, if there's no chance of doing
a roll out on a drop, then SIF may be better as you can just land and
stop dead whilst tucking your body so impact is absorbed that way.

I have recently switched to doing all my trials ( really about 90%) SIF.
That always includes drops, unless I'm dropping to something slanted. I
feel that in a trials scenario it's more flowy to say hop up to an
obstacle, then drop of the other side without having to switch to seat
in just for the drop, and then maybe pull it out again to continue the
line.

well if you see zack baldwin out there he does seat in front everything.
he jumped off the top of a train sif once. so it's all preference but I
have to agree that seat in has more control.

If your doing a big drop you want to make sure you take some of th force
with your ... hand.

I've broken a number of KH handles by putting too much pressure on my
hand when landing. Could you elaborate on how one is to use their hand
to help with a landing?

I like that with seat out, you can crouch down before you drop and then
roll off, which will already take a few feet off the drop, and make the
impact of the landing not as bad. Rolling out of the drop is not too
bad either for seat out.

But if its a big drop gap you need biceps the size of babys to hold the
frame from flying away from you.

Jason,

Get a better seat.
