Not so much a brag...but today I did something I thought I would never do...I broke my seat post...Now I can see the purpose of reinforced posts🙄
'well its done and here's the link but it says you have to wait due to so many uploads' (http://www.vimeo.com/1216419)
I had a reinforced nimbus seatpost and I snapped it basically the same way you did. I guess aluminium can't cope with all the stress from pulling up on the seat all the time.
Well today I got 270 unispins to the tyre! w00t. Was all about commiting. I owned myself a few times (let go of the seat), ouch. But I got it about 2 minutes after I started commiting.
O and I got kick up mounts too. Pretty easy, but kool 🙂
Well today was a great day. Here's a list of all the stuff I did for the first time. - 270 unispins to tyre - 180 unispins to seat in (first trick I've ever actually committed to landing seat in :P) - 360 unispins to seat in, before I was tryna land them seat in but catch the middle of the seat with my hands so I ended up sitting on my hands. Now I just catch the handle. - 50cm high rolling hop (w00t only 5cm less than my sidehop record 😄) - kick up mount - 360 hop twist, well more of a 320 hoptwist but the most I could get before today was 270.
I'm not scared of racking myself when landing tricks seat in now. That'll make crankflips much easier to learn.
