  1. okay, so what you do is ride, then jump up, flip your seat around so you
    are balancing on it and like in a still stand, only the seat is on the
    ground, then you drop out of it and are doing seat drag,
    that would be cool if someone could do it, it sounds really hard
    though.
    has anyone ever heard of this before?

  2. I've heard of someone who was learning to jump on an ultimate wheel, so
    that he could go into seat drag and then jump over his seat so it ends
    up behind him. thats the closest I've ever heard of though. I think
    yours wouldn't work very well, because the top of the seat isn't
    perfectly flat so it would be really hard to balance, and also would
    prolly help to break the seat.

  3. That would probably break your seat very quickly.

    There is a video somewhere of someone doing a similar trick. He does
    seat drag in front hopping, then jumps up over the seat and lands doing
    seat drag in back hopping. Very impressive!

  4. You can't claim to have invented a trick if you can't do it.

  6. sounds like a seat whip, but instead of it going around you balance on
    your seat when its upside down. wierd. i dont think balancing with the
    seat on the bottom can be done for long.

  7. That would be hard because seats aren't flat. They are usually tilted up
    a little so you would probably fall back. I wouldn't even try that
    without a CF seat, my old KHs had enough flex with out me balancing on
    them 😉
