Another thing: I find that I am able to gap much farther SI that SIF.
SIF is good for ups, but I don't see any benefits when it comes to
gapping.




I can gap much farther SIF than SI, without a prehop mind you. Even if
your seat is super low (which can be bad on the back as well as the
knees) SIF allows you more compensation in terms of balance when
sustaining landing forces for any kind of gapping. Having said that, I
do think it's good to keep both riding techniques in your palette. It
gives you more options in your riding if you can quickly go between the
two, for situations involving very quick technical movements along a
series of small objects (mostly in natural riding), lines involving
large amounts of balance (rails, skinnies, rail/skinny gaps, etc) where
you might be riding along, gapping onto or off of or from something
narrow without much room to correction hop or pause; or, if you
incorporate a street style into your trials.

So, for example, if you do a lateral gap SIF onto a skinny, you're
going to want to know how to get your balance, get that seat under you,
get your weight focused on the seat and not on the pedals, and ride
along that skinny. At the end of riding it, you might have to gap onto
something else, and you'll want to get your seat back out and gap
(depending on the size, angle, distance of the object and the gap).

Hope that makes sense. I've been plagued by allergies and a minor head
cold as of late, making my brain rather foggy.

I can gap further if I do it SIF but I think it is mostly a mind
problem. Generaly I think you can gap better SI because I often smash
my chin on the seat at the landing.

I used to find gapping SI easier than SIF when I wasnt very confedent
SIF but now I gap SIF and find I can gap further, now it seems more
effort when I go back to SI when I can jump and gap further SIF.

I try to get used a little bit more to SI gaps because there is no
chance to hit a big gap drop seat out. I tryed once a 2m gap with 2m
drop in it seat out and it hurt me a lot.

I gap better SIF if I go sideways. But forward gap I do seat in (about
the only time I use SI) and I think I can gap farther forwards that way
then SIF sideways.

Plus I can land much better seat in forward then SIF saideways on a
long gap.
