Not sure what went wrong. Was just trying to learn how to do a seat bounce and this happened.

I think I mis-judged the speed needed to clear the jump. It's only about 20 feet from peak to peak and when I hit it in 4th gear tapped I knew something was wrong.

I did something very similar to that in 5th gear tapped! True story...

I would try switching to a 42mm powerband which should slow down the inertia rotation of the spring mounts.

Tip: When attempting to seat bounce, do not mount the eject button on your seat.

There's a 5th gear???

All day I had been trying to just go wide open right up to the face of the jump and then slam it into first. Someone had told me that was the correct way to scrub.

Still haven't gotten it right.

Well bro.....the first thing you need to learn , is to make sure you have your ass on the seat. Your technique look promising though.

BEE-RO Everybody knows you have to be pinned in top gear to get a controled seat bounce.Looks as if your riding a little loose in the pic. You need to grip that ride with your knees.
