well this march break i finally got out on the uni after not really 'riding' for almost three months:o anyways, I thought I would do some trials riding, that's where I received a blessing in disguise, my trials riding was REALLY shaky. for the first time ever my SI was about as bad as my SIF. I decided to use the opportunity to try to switch in order to become a SIF rider! Well 4 days later I'm getting the hang of it, I can already hop at least 2'' higher than last year, I am extremely close to landing a crank grab and I can do 'better' trials lines. but along with these advancements my right shoulder and elbow is soar and so is my upper stomach, is this from just using different muscles in SIF? or is SIF more work than SI (In terms of keeping ballance and what not) or the the last (and probaly most plausible) I think Im a little 'out of tune' from my long break. So please, give your 2 cents (3 if you feel like it) on the subject
you use different motions for SIF and SI. I find for SI i bend my back to help with hight and drops. for SIF it is more about the tucking of your legs.
I ride with a high seat though, so I really can't tuck that much seat under
I would guess it uses different muscles but if you haven't been riding recently it is possible that you are sore just becasue you haven't been using your muscles as much or as hard while not riding

I have started going for sif and I'm really surprised in how much easier it is to hop high and how satisfying it is. I used to be completely si, but I couldn't get much more than 21 or 22 inches at best. I started working on high sif and in a couple minutes I got something almost 20 inches! I'm really happy with it and looking forward to getting my jumping and tucking technique better. But I definitely prefer sif now. Good job on switching to sif.🙂
lol, im an idiot, cant think, is sif static, or is Si?
