and if i turn the seatpost around and it seems like it works fine, will
that be ok? or will it damage it somehow?

HAHA, MY dx DID THE same thing.
you need to make sure and get the bolts just tight enough, and all the
same torque.

oh, and your seat stiffener is more than likely broken, yes off a 2
foot drop.

Depends on where your weight is. if you aren't holding onto the handle
with all your weight on it I'd venture to say its impossible breaking
the stiffener plate at 2 feet. Don't worry about it, just ride it as
is.

dude, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE RIDING THE UNI WITH THE SEAT FACING THE
RIGHT WAY!

ok, the reason its in all caps is that it unscrews your pedals if they
are backwards... thats not good, it can easily ruin your cranks.just
make sure the left crank is on the left and the right crank on the
right, the frame doesn't matter.

i was about to say somthing along those lines...more accurately, you
should be riding with the crank arms on the right sides..*just noticed,
thats what you sayed in your explaination...😄*

seatposts are too easy to break/bend.... when i first started riding on
a decent uni i bent a seatpost going off a 1 foot drop...:eek:

Yeah that is bad form. I went off 4ft and a couple 5's I think with the
seat post on my dx and I had decently bad form. I messed up a 5 set to
break it along with my stiffener plate.

It is just landing smooth and rolling out basically if you land with all
your weight going straight down into the uni it is going to put a lot
more stress on it. The best thing for me was go find a set ( work your
way up) and practice rolling out now that I am reasonably good at it I
can backwards roll-out and stuff.

Landing with your butt hitting the front of your seat/handle, you
flying forward, and the uni crashes behind you = bad form.

Landing with minimal weight going onto the seat/handle, you doing a
good rollout and not going off the uni = good form.
