  1. Hey, I recently started to do hopping, but when I ride then stop and try
    hopping, I use two hands to hold the seat (one hand in front and one on
    back) but after I hold it for about 1 second then I use one hand. Is
    this a bad habit? Also my torker is making a weird clicking sound, its
    only on my right side pedal/crank. Could it be a bad axel- or something?
    I belive it only makes that sound every once and awhile and only when I
    put lots of weight on the seat. Any help?

  2. Tighten your crank or your pedal, or both

    To tighten the crank, pop off the endcap with a screwdriver and use a
    9/16 socket to tighten it. (I think it's 9/16 anyways)

  3. In response t the hopping thing, I wound't say its nessescarily a -Bad-
    habit, but i would just try and not do it, cause it seems weird. Do it
    23 times in a row the right way(without both hands) and I gaurauntee the
    habit will be broken...

  4. Don't worry about the hopping with two hands. It'll go away eventually.
    The only time when it really matters how you take the seat out is when
    you have to do it during a stillstand, when you can't waste time with 2
    hands on the seat. Until then, You'll eventually outgropw the habit
    without specifically practicing it.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?
