hopping seat out question

I hop primarily seat-out (or sif--i.e. seat in front). But I'm a trials
rider. I don't know what could be a more clear justification. You hop
seat out when you can't get onto an object, because it's too high for
seat in (the only exception to this rule being roll-hops). Seat out
allows you to tuck the unicycle up underneath you...allowing you extra
clearence for bigger ups.

It also depends on your discipline. You more than likely won't see a
street rider bother to take the time and pull the seat out, when street
is more concerned with speed and flow. Also it's personal preference.
Some trials riders are seat-in only. And they do just fine. It's part
of their style.

I'm not so sure what you mean by "seat adjustment thingy"...Are you
talking about a rail-post-adapter?

You should be more specific...or at least post a picture so we can help
you out, and know well enough what you're referring to.

I'm not really sure what the problem with holding the seat is... maybe
you're not holding it right? I don't see why it would be different from
your trials to your muni.. just grab the side of it.. I can't imagine
trying to jump holding onto the seatpost or the front handle.

A lot of "us" (trials riders) jump seat out. In fact, just about all of
us. You can get sooo much higher that way... I don't jump seat in or out
exclusively; I pick whichever method is more appropriate for what I'm
doing.

i cant hold the big seat with all the extra seat adjustment stuff on the
bottom of the seat. People with 05 KH's prolly know what im talkin
bout.

But i can hop seat out like pie with my other torker lx because it
doesn't have the extra stuff on the bottom.

I've never ridden with a rail adapter.... maybe try moving your hand an
inch or so forward or backwards and find a comfortable spot.

I have the same problem with the rail adapter on my muni, my hands arent
big enough to go all the way around it and they dont feel right all
being behind it so i usually put my finger through it but that can be
painful when my finger gets stuck🙁 I just ordered a CF seat from UDC
for my trials and a shim so i can use it on my muni too. I really dont
like the rail adapter.
