That’s a pretty cool trials set-up you’ve got there…

One question, why is your seat so low? I mean I know its a matter of preference, but I seem to see most people riding trials with their seat way up(including myself). Is there a particular advantage to the low seat, or is it just comfortable for you?

U can jump higher with the low seat

for some people… zack baldwin and a few other known trials riders have high seats.

That’s only true for SI hopping. When the seat is out in front, there’s nothing preventing the seat from going as high as possible - which is the point at which the tire is touching your butt. Generally a higher seat is much easier on your back.

Nice video Isaac. You’ve got the form down near perfect, now go higher :wink:

Myself, I can’t stand riding my seat like 1-3" higher. I don’t know why, I just really like the low seat. I find the low seat gives more leverage.

Thanks, I am starting to go some bigger I think, notice the 3 stair sidehop with no prehop.
