Seat Height Tips for BMX Bikes

Video Transcript

"If you go to a skate park or street spot now a days it's going to be very common to seal a lot of kids who have there seats as low as they can possibly have them on there bikes. That a very common thing cause as weight a lot of people have been noting that the amount of extra room that you have when doing certain tricks is vastly increased by having your seat lower. At the same time if you have your seat up a little higher it makes it a little bit easier for you to pinch the seat with your knees when your doing no handed tricks for example, bar spins being a very common one. Again if your going to be pedaling around and having a seat that's a little bit higher is going to be a little bit more comfortable because you'll be able to pedal sitting down to where as if your seated is all the way down it's just not going to be very comfortable at all for pedaling around. For me personally my seat height isn't exactly optimal for getting around anywhere but also gives me a proper height for doing bar spins and also for certain trick like turn downs. Having this extra clearance here to get my leg through really is a benefit to me because it allows me more room when doing turn downs. And so this is seat height that I sort of chosen at this point at the same time it there's a great deal with experimentation that you can do, some people prefer to have there seats up here for personal reasons, other people like I said they like to have them all the way down. And there's really no solid answer as to the correct seat height is for you so much like handlebars you should really experiment with it and find the set up that works out best for you."
