    kinda shakey and i dont think it looks too impresive.

  2. If you can do 8 metres, you're going great. The word here is practice,
    practice, practice. Just keep concentrating on putting as much weight on
    one foot as the other. In the beginning it's probably wise to keep the
    saddle fairly close to you, as you can jab it back quickly if you think
    you're going to fall. (It's much easier if you press the seat against
    you). Then try to gently move the seat out again. It won't take you long
    to be able to do it as long as is comfortable. (Me, I can't ride more
    then 70, maybe 80 metres seat out front, before my legs collapse). I'm
    probably a bad advisor though, as I don't do it for freestyle, but only
    learned it to do seat out front jumps so my technique is probably not as
    good as everyone else's.

  3. yeah im only learning it too improve seat in front balance and control
    for hopping too, but it does also look pretty cool when preformed
    well.

    thnak for the advice
