    both are needed to be a good trials rider.

    And in one swift stroke, the battle is over.

    Seriously, each style has its merits. Trials isn't just a game of "how
    high can I jump?"

    SI keeps the rider more connected to the unicycle, allowing for big
    rolling hops and side gaps. It helps control the unicycle during
    landings onto uneven terrain.

    SIF gives the unicycle more freedom, allowing quicker and bigger ups,
    and more precise landings.

    Why limit yourself? Different obstacles demand different styles.

    I voted SIF because that's what I do most, and is he most fun for
    general trials riding.

    But sometimes you'lll see me pause and switch to seat in in the middle
    of a trials line, because of the way I interpret the next part of the
    line I switch to whatever "feels" best for that particular section.

    SIF. I used to do exclusively SI, but after I got the hang of SIF, it's
    hard to go back. I just use SI for muni and rolling hops. And
    sometimes gaps.
