pref seat height on trials.

Mine's just a shade lower than how Zack Baldwin ride's his in, say,
Maidu Madness. The video's on unicyclejester.com if you haven't seen
it yet.

Which means I ride mine high, because almost all of my riding is
seat-out.

I don't have any idea. I just keep moving the seat up and down untill I
like it, then ride. If I think it feels a little low, I'll raise it.

It's just whatever feels best for you.

wondering where the seat should be for maximum hops and comfortable
drops....
i understand alot of this is personal prefrence, but
im sure there is is some technical reasoning out there
...anyone?

(this close to my belly button)

I put my seat up waist height. When I eventually make the switch to an
alum. KH frame, I'll buy a new seat post so I can put it up about a
centimeter higher.

I feel more stable the higher the seat is, for seat out.

When the seat is higher, you're not as hunched over, and it's not so
hard on your knees.

BUT, it's always going to be a matter of what works best for you,
because I ride seat-out primarily. I really don't do anything seat-in.

Or your back for that matter..

The other day I did a hop then lost control a lil, so I had to hunch
over a huge bit and hop and bam...Pulled something in my back.

So now I raised my seatpost a tad, and tilted the seat so the handle is
much higher to reduce my chance of hurtin my back as I really despise
back pain(who doesn't?)
