Was he the guy who had a competition with Ryan on those wooden bars,
next to the stairs? If yes, then he is way cool!



If you mean that "litle game" on the rails and pallets where they were
supposed to do eatchothers lines, then I think it was Tom Pec, Ryan and
Mark Fabian to I think.
Were interresting lines.

Doesn't that make it harder to pull up? I usually have my saddle to the

No, not from my experience. I think it makes it easier to tuck my legs
up, and helps me to tuck in a better position.

The seat shouldn't be that hard to pull up even normally. Most of the
hop should come from your legs. If anything the seat helps you to
angle your wheel for whatever you're landing on.

Nah, not at all. That picture is pretty much going with what TrialsUni
said, just you tilt your seat differently.

Yeah, Jerrick's right.

I land on some ledges like you. It all depends on the kind of surface,
how big it is, and how high it is off the ground. Another thing that
depends on where my seat is are pre-hops.

You're doing good, but in the future, to save your chin, chest,
etc...you probably want to learn the technique.

I think that all it really does is make you pull your legs up a little
differently. It puts the wheel a little more in front of you, than
under you. I hope that makes sense.

I'm going to try this as soon as I get my uni back. I'll post pics
soon.

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.

Im not so good with SIF gaping either. I know it can be done, specially
after watching Ryan or any other good SIF trials riders. They can get
some distance.

I also know that SI works just as well for gaping though, and my friend
Phil can do static SI gaps at will.

One thing I don't see enough in trials vids is gaps to rails. It is
insanely hard.

I still can't pedal grab . Any tips?
