    You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

  6. I'm gonna have to get leg pads or something because I pre-hop like
    cawazy and the seat I have isn't exactly the best for pre-hops because
    it rubs against my legs and I get *gasp* rashes!!! They hurt like
    hell and I can't ride for a couple days...

    cheese is good...

  7. I'm enormously far from being the best to give advice on hopping high,
    but the one thing I noticed early on was that I could afford to tuck
    the seat up/pull the uni up *much* furthur than I realised, even when
    hopping seat in which is what I mostly do. Maybe you could think about
    that next time you're out hopping. It has to be a really quick
    movement though so that the seat is at its highest point when you are
    at your highest point.

  8. OMG i get the worst rashes too! i found that if you put some duct tape
    or something of the sort on the back of the seat it helps or just try
    really hard (took me a long time) but just try not to hold the seat to
    your skin...the reason i get rashes is NOT from my seat but from the
    seat rubing on my jeans and the jeans cause the rash. I am still
    recovering from my last rash. So try duct tape or just wear like those
    shiny sport shorts or just not jeans or clothes like that. Hope that
    helps

  9. yeah andrew i have notice that...thats why my seat is so low...its like
    3-4 inches below me when standing up hopping. im not quite comfortable
    with seat out yet so im just going to keep my seat low and keep hoppin
    higher
