SIF turning
I can ride fairly well SIF, but none of the tutorials I've read have addressed turning. Whenever I try turning, the seatpost just smacks into me and I lose control... Do I just need more practice, or am I doing something wrong?

I am not the best at SIF, but when I ride it, I do a lot of the pivoting in my knees and ankles, and use my hand gripping the seat to assist in turning the uni.

Yep, I started trying SIF a few days ago. I can get in/out of it and ride, and now my turning is better
 Gonna keep practicing!
