Nut buster seat

Technique. Technique and tight underpants. 😄

I was thinking about this today actually. I used to have to adjust very
carefully before sitting down on my uni, but now it's no problem. I can
also miss a jump mount and land hard on the seat without any nasty
repercussions only males are prone to.

I'm not entirely sure how I manage this, although it seems to be one of
two things: I either pull the seat forwards as I'm sitting down on it to
get everything out of the way, or I land mainly on the back of the seat
(this applies moreso to jump mounting the unicycle) and then roll
forwards.

In addition, if I don't manage to get it right the first try, it's
become second nature to stand up on the pedals and pull the seat
forwards while simultaneously sitting on the back part of the seat.

it drove me nuts (heh. heh.) for the first few weeks, but after a while
it became a non issue, especially when I mastered the stand-up and move
your bits bit.

Good luck!

Hmmm.....Pulling the seat forward, i HAVE done this, but when i start
riding it didn't seem like it was a good clean mount, it seemed too
choppy or uneven. I normally wear baggy pants, i don't think i would
ever wear peg-leg pants on a unicycle @___o But it is QUITE painfull if
i miss.

You don't know any other ways to help? This is SERIOUSLY getting on my
nerves.

Pulling the seat forward also takes up too much time. I don't think you
or anybody else thinks this, but also when i jump up or down off of
something, like the back of a truck tailgate, I sit up and when i sit
back down.....yeah.....I don't want to get into TOO much detail....

I know that, over the years, it has become the norm to wear boxers, but
try venturing back to your younger days. That is, your pre-boxer days.
Underwear help a great deal by holding your buddies in place as you move
around. Who knows, you might even like them. When I first started
unicycling I found it painful and awkward to mount, so I tried wearing
underwear and it helped a lot. Now I don't even wear undergarments! I am
in no way saying that you are a beginner, your ability to hop up to a
tailgate speaks for itself.

I apreciate that greatly, thank you. But the thing is, I do wear
boxer-briefs @____o I just find sliding the seat forward a small waste
of time.

When i go to jump off of the tailgate of a truck, I sit up off of the
seat, thus bringing my buddies off of the seat. So when i sit down after
landing ::Crunch:: There go my children. When i go to land, it's a
little hard to move the seat back, or move myself forward, then slide
the seat forward.

I just got back from trying this, and it still seems like it's taking
too long.

I did fine with my old Viscount seat, but the problem with that seat was
it was painfull to grab because it was shredded from learning to ride
with it. But the problem with my new KH seat is mounting it and moving
my kids out of the way.....yeah....

I forgot to piont out that boxers and briefs make no diferencr to me. I
have tried both and they are the same.

If your old seat was fine, have you thought about just buying another
one of those? 😄

Also, the KH seat is very tall. Did you adjust your seat height? That
might have something to do with it.

I used to have a Velo seat, which is pretty similar to the KH in design,
and I got rid of it for the same reason. The padding was so deep and
spongey that my Jacobs used to float to the top as I rode along.

Try a Viscount or a Miyata saddle. Wear Lycra padded shorts with no
underwear, and a pair of cycling longs over the top of those.

I wear boxer shorts and can roll mount (and jump mount) without landing
on my balls, also my seat is less padded than the Kris Holm.

Improve your technique I'd say. Make sure you land with your feet firmly
placed on the pedals before you sit down. And when you do sit down on
the seat, shift your weight from pedals-->seat gradually.

I can relate to your problem when I mount into wheel walk though!

I think boxers vs. TIGHT breifs makes a big difference. Bike shorets are
the best way to go though.

dont worry about your nuts; people breed too much, and by riding your
unicycle in boxers, you can do your part to fight overpopulation 😄

I think i just might get a Miyata seat. In the mean while, i'll go buy
some duckt tape, rubber tubing, and two pounds of salt to fix my old
seat....NNot that the salt had anything to do with it....

it seemed that when I started I couldn't sit on it without being in
pain, but it seems that the juevos have learned to stay out of the way
of the seat, I thought it was pretty weird.

You have three choices. Ride only when it is very cold, get some tight
stretchy bicycling shorts, or try a 'suspensory'
(http://tinyurl.com/8eks6). The bicycle shorts will pretty much solve
the problem.

I have Miyata-based airseats on my coker and muni, and a standard KH on
my trials uni. The KH is MUCH more of a "buddy crusher" than either of
the airseats. With the KH, I always need to make some sort of
adjustment before really putting my weight on the seat. With my other
two rides, not an issue. All other factors the same...I wear the same
cycling shorts regardless of what uni I'm on.

Go to the hardware store and buy yourself a cheap roll of duct tape -
Wider the better.
Then wrap "the boys" in place...and your set ! 😄

With a rolling mount, you sort of get on a bit sideways first

There is a differnce in seats, but there is also a difference in
individuals. If I ride wearing boxer shorts I usually end up being
sore and sorry, but my brother has no problem. It seems he is blessed
with rather tight testicles no matter how hot the weather is. So, if
you have a problem in this area don't be too quick to blame it all on
your seat or your technique, etc. Best solution I've found is to ditch
the boxer shorts and get a support garment with a pouch which puts cloth
between your thighs and your boys.
