anyone clean snapped a seat off ur seat post while hopping?

i was going for a simple ride along a nice level bush track, hopping
over what ever i felt, when i jumped up ,and snapped my seat post,
just below where is joins the seat, i should include a pic, but cant,
my uni is a Qu-ax 24"
has this ever happened to anyone else? i think it would have, and what
should i do for getting a new one? get teh KH aluminium post with rail
adapter and fusion saddle or what? maximum quality for minimum cost are
my rules

thanks in advance

It happens alot, get a CrMo seatpost (not aluminium alloy) for around
£10, if you break that in the near future then you may have to consider
going more extreme, but I wouldnt yet.

Yeah i broke my second kh aluminum seatpost the other day. Really
annoying because there are no chro-mo seatposts in stock anywhere. I
have bought a temporary aluminum one while i wait for Roger to get some
chro-mo ones in (he said about a month).

Is a thompson/rail adaptor setup much heavier than a regular seatpost?

Cheers,
Max

it aint hard to snap a cromo, its easier to snap an alu.
thompson is damn strong, so the extra weight dont count.

I've broken three seatposts (KH stock) hopping. I've also yanked the
screws on the saddle clean out of the casing.

get a thompson/carbon combo for your uni if you dont wanna braek it
anymore.

and right elbow. It hurt, but I found it quite funny.

then i did a new seat... aluminum... with the form of qu-ax one... so i
used the same leather and foam from the broken one...
