  1. I read some tips on here and today I finally rode SIF for almost the
    length of a tennis court (well over half way anyways) I did it many
    times but my legs are not strong enough yet to keep going 😎

  2. i find it helps if you put pressure on the seat with your hand but keep
    it close to you

  3. hold it very close to your body whilst learning. Seat out tricks (and
    seat drags for that matter) are all about riding with even pressure on
    both pedals (im sure youve picked this up by now).

  4. Start working on using less and less grip on the seat, and start to hold
    it out farther away from you, once you get it down having it up close.

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

  6. once you get good at it take the seat clamp off so the seat isnt
    actually attached to the thingyand it becomes a lot harder to ride,
    though its fun to do.

  7. if you drop the seat through the tube it'll hit your tyre and will stop
    you dead. that would be interesting to watch

  9. Not all frames let the post go through it.

    Now, besides doing SIF, try doing SIB, seat in back, its not as hard as
    you think.

    little on the very front of the seat to learn
