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

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...

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.

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

higher
